|
|
You know this boogie is for real
|
I used to put my faith in worship
|
But then my chance to get to heaven slipped
|
I used to worry about the future
|
But then I threw my caution to the wi-i-i-ind
|
|
I had no reason to be carefree
|
No, no, no
|
Until I took a trip to the other side of town
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah
|
You know I heard that boogie rhythm, hey!
|
I had no choice but to get down, down, down, down
|
|
Dance! Whooo!
|
Nothing left for me to do but dance
|
All these bad times I'm going through
|
Just dance!
|
Got canned heat in my heels tonight, baby...
|
Whoooooo ohhh
|
|
I feel the thunder, see the lightning
|
I know this anger's heaven sent
|
So I've gotta hang out on my hang-ups
|
'Cos on my boogie I feel so hell-bent hey, hey
|
It's just an instant gut reaction, that I got
|
I know I've never ever felt like this before
|
I don't know what to do
|
But then that is nothing new
|
Stuck between hell and high water, me I'll kill to make it through, hey!
|
|
Dance, yeah
|
Nothing left for me to do but dance!
|
All these bad times I'm going through
|
Just dance! hey
|
Got canned heat in my heels tonight, baby...
|
|
|
You know this boogie is for real, gal
|
So much canned heat in my heals, yeah
|
Gonna dance, gonna dance my blues away tonight
|
You know I¡¯m gonna dance my blues away
|
|
You know this boogie is for real, gal
|
So much canned heat in my heals, yeah
|
Gonna dance, gonna dance my blu-u-u-es awa-a-a-y toni-i-i-ght
|
|
Dance! Whooo!
|
Nothing left for me to do but dance
|
All these bad times I'm going through
|
Just dance!
|
Got canned heat in my heels tonight, baby
|
|
|
Dance, yeah
|
Oh the nasty things that people say
|
Dance, yeah
|
But I¡¯m gonna make it anyway
|
Dance, yeah
|
Canned heat in my heals tonight, baby
|
|
You know that this boogie is for real
|
Got so much canned heat in my heals
|
Gonna dance, gonna dance my blues away tonight
|
|
Whooo!
|
You know, you know this boogie, this boogie is for real
|
Got so much canned heat, canned heat in my heals...
