Do The Dad Dance
[Intro]
Now!
[Verse 1]
Back in the day I were a groover
Yer 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 DJs got them lights that're 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!)
[Chorus]
Point! Towards the sky
Aeroplane! 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 wi' me
[Verse 2]
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 'im, he's got fer' play some Thin Lizzy
Move over kids, yer dad's coming through
And I'll show you what fer't do
[Chorus]
Point! Towards the sky
Aeroplane! 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 wi' me
Do some more funky dancin'
Thumbs! Get 'em in yer belt
Rock! At it full pelt
Air guitar! Like a concert at Wem-ber-ley
Jog! On the spot
Robot! Give it all you got
Freestyle! You can do the dad dance wi' me
[Bridge (spoken)]
Come on!
Okay let me hear everybody scream!
's like you would if somebody stood on yer toe even though yer doin' Macarena
Now, let me see yer hands in the air, come on, move 'em side to side
Let me see everybody swaying
Get ready!
Are you ready for a dad dance?
Let's go!
[Chorus]
Point! Towards the sky
Aeroplane! 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 wi' me
Do some more funky stuff now
Thumbs! Get 'em in yer belt
Rock! At it full pelt
Air guitar! Like a concert at Wem-ber-ley
Jog! On the spot
Robot! Give it all you got
Freestyle! You can do the dad dance wi' me
[Outro (spoken)]
Not that you'd wanna 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! Brek it down!
