Long Tall Glasses
Composer(s): David Alexander Courtney - Leo Sayer
First release by: Leo Sayer



I was travellin' down the road, feelin' hungry and cold 
I saw a sign sayin' food and drinks for everyone 
so naturally I thought I would take me a look inside 
I saw so much food, there was water comin' from my eye 

yeah there was ham an' there was turkey, there was caviar 
an' long tall glasses, with wine up to yar 

an' then somebody grabbed me, threw me outta my chair 
said before you can eat, you gotta dance like Fred Astaire 

you know I can't dance, you know I can't dance 
you know I can't dance, you know I can't dance 
I can't dance 

I am a man of the road -- a hobo by name 
I don't seek entertainment, just poultry and game 
but if it's all the same to you, then yes I will try my hand 
if you were as hungry as me then I'm sure you would understand 

hmmm 
now wait a minute 
let me see now 

of course I can dance of course I can dance 
I'm sure I can dance, I'm sure I can dance ... 
I can dance 

I can dance 
I really hit the floor 
ah feels good 
look at me dancin' 

I did a two-step, quick-step and a bossa nova 
a little Victor Silvester, and a Rudy Valentino 
you should a seen me movin', right across the floor 
hand me down my tuxedo, next week I'm comin' back for more 

I can dance -- oh yes! I can dance 
look at me dancin' the floor movin' 
I feel good -- I can dance 
I can dance, I can dance, I can dance
