It is true - I can't dance but that's not the problem.

However, on the DVD Strat Pack Live Paul Carrack sings I Can't Dance - can't find a tab for this anywhere? Anyone have chords or tab for this song (this version of the song would be nice)?

Is it the Genesis song?

not sure if it's the same song,
but this is the one i was thinking of

Artist: Sayer Leo
Long Tall Glasses
Leo Sayer & David Courtney

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.

These are the words as far as I can make them out.
Not the Leo Sayer version which is very different.

Really would like to find out how to play this one....

Hot sun breaking me down
Burning my feet just walking around
Hot sun making me sweat
Heat hasn't got me, got me yet
I said
I can't dance
I can't talk
Only good thing about me is the way that I walk
I said
I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm just standing here selling evrything
