The Lancashire Hotpots - Do The Dad Dance - Live At The Manchester Academy lyrics
Artist: The Lancashire Hotpots
album: Live At The Manchester Academy (The Album)
Now!
Back in the day I were a groover
Your dad, you see, he were a bit of a mover
On the dance floor he had a blast
But I got to the age of thirty
Me knees got creaky, back got hurty
I left me dancing in the past
But if I'm at a do or a christening
And the DJ's got them lights that are glistening
And he puts on Status Quo
If I've had a couple of Newcy Browns
That's the time for me to get down
I'm off to the dance floor
Just watch me go
Watch me shake me stuff now!
Point!
Towards the sky
Airplane!
Pretend to fly
Twist!
It all comes naturally
Rave!
Hands in the air
Thrust!
Like you just don't care
Freestyle!
Come on, do the dad dance with me
So fellas, if you're at a wedding
No matter how old you are, don't be forgetting
It's the dads that set the pace
If the kids say you're embarrassing
Ignore 'em, that's just harassing
You're the best dancer in the place
Now when you dad dance
Don't do it too quickly
Play it cool
Pretend you're on Strictly
Even if you've had a pint or two
If the DJ wants that dance floor busy
Tell him, he's got to play some Thin Lizzy
Move over kids, your dad's coming through
And I'll show you what fer do
Point!
Towards the sky
Airplane!
Pretend to fly
Twist!
It all comes naturally
Rave!
Hands in the air
Thrust!
Like you just don't care
Freestyle!
Come on, do the dad dance with me
Do some more funky dancing
Thumbs!
Get 'em in your belt
Rock!
At it full pelt
Air guitar!
Like a concert at Wembley
Jog!
On the spot
Robot!
Give it all you've got
Freestyle!
You can do the dad dance with me
OK let me here everybody scream!
Just like you would if someone stood on your toe
When you're doing the Macarena
Now, let me see your hands in the air
Come on, move them side to side
Let me see everybody swaying
Get ready!
Are you ready for a dad dance?
Let's go!
Point!
Towards the sky
Airplane!
Pretend to fly
Twist!
It all comes naturally
Rave!
Hands in the air
Thrust!
Like you just don't care
Freestyle!
Come on, do the dad dance with me
Do some more funky stuff now
Thumbs!
Get 'em in your belt
Rock!
At it full pelt
Air guitar!
Like a concert at Wembley
Jog!
On the spot
Robot!
Give it all you've got
Freestyle!
You can do the dad dance with me
Not that you'd want to be seen with me, I'm quite embarrassing
Slip-ons and odd socks, oh yes!
Me jacket's a slightly different black to me trousers
Nobody cares!
Come on
Break it down!
