Dig It Songtext
von Nellie McKay

Oh, I can′t dance (Yes, you can)
Oh, I really can't (Yes, you can, come on)
(Just give it a try) Really, you can teach me?
(You got the legs for it)
′Cause it seems to me (Oh, it seems to you)
I said it seems to me (You said it seems to you)
That such an embarrassing situation calls for concentration

Do you dig me, Jack? (We dig you, Jack)
Can you think of a plan? (We solid can)
(Can you sing and dance?) I'll take a chance
(Are your boots on right?) I got 'em laced up tight
(Is Miss Miller a killer?) From a Spanish villa
(Is her dancing mellow?) Why, mellow as a cello
(Then it seems to me, obviously, you
Want to go right into your terpsichore)


I never could do the conga
Could never get through the conga
But if you say do the conga
I ain′t hip to that step, but I′ll dig it
I never could see mazurkas
They're poison to me, mazurkas
But if it′s to be mazurkas
I ain't hip to that step, but I′ll dig it

(When they invented the Charleston, she was a total flop)
Right, but say, if you wanna Charleston
I'll never stop, I′ll dance 'til I drop

I never could dig the polka
The corniest jig, the polka
But if you say dig the polka
I ain't hip to that step, but I′ll dig it

I never could do the conga
Could never get through the conga
But if you say do the conga
I ain′t hip to that step, but I'll dig it
I never could see mazurkas
They′re poison to me, mazurkas
But if it's to be mazurkas
I ain′t hip to that step, but I'll dig it

(When they invented the Charleston, I was a total flop)
(But say, if you wanna Charleston, she′ll
Never stop, she'll dance 'til she drop)


I never could dig the polka
The corniest jig, the polka
But if you say dig the polka
I ain′t hip to that step, I ain′t hip to that step
I ain't hip to that step, I ain′t hip to that step
I ain't hip to that step, I ain′t hip to that step
Somebody save me
