I Wish I Could Dance Like Fred Astaire

[Verse 1: Gary U.S. Bonds]
I stopped into a night spot
To buy myself a drink
I asked this girl to dance with me, she said
“I don’t wanna dance! Yo’ dancin’ stinks!”

[Pre-Chorus: Gary U.S. Bonds]
But it really doesn’t matter to me
What she thinks or what she sees
It really doesn’t matter to me, I just

[Chorus: Gary U.S. Bonds]
Wish I could dance like Fred Astaire
I wish I could dance (Oh!)
I wish I could move, so definite
Like walkin’ on air (Yah-ee yah, yah!)

[Verse 2: Gary U.S. Bonds]
Well maybe I’m crazy
But didn’t we meet in France?
You look so familiar… I remember!
You didn’t like the way I dance, no

[Pre-Chorus: Gary U.S. Bonds]
It really doesn’t matter to me
What she thinks or what she sees
It rеally doesn’t matter to me, I just

[Chorus: Gary U.S. Bonds]
Wish I could dancе like Fred Astaire
I wish I could dance (Yah!)
I wish I could move so definite
Like walkin’ on air (Yah-ee yah, yah!)
I wish I could dance like Fred Astaire
I wish I could dance (Oh!)
I wish I could move so definite
Like walkin’ on air (Yah-ee yah, yah!)

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus: Gary U.S. Bonds]
Oh, it really doesn’t matter to me
What she thinks or what she sees
It really doesn’t matter to me, I just

[Chorus: Gary U.S. Bonds & The American Men]
Wish I could dance like Fred Astaire
I wish I could dance! Fred Astaire!
I wish I could dance (Oh!)
I wish I could dance!
I wish I could move so definite
I wish I could move so definite!
Like walkin’ on air (Yah-ee yah, yah!)
Walkin’ on air, yah!

I wish I could dance like Fred Astaire
I wish I could dance! Fred Astaire!
I wish I could dance (Here I go!)
I wish I could dance!
I wish I could move so definite
Wish I could move! I wish I could dance! So definite!
Like walkin’ on air (Yah-ee, yah-ee, yah-ee)
Walkin’ on air, yah!

I wish I could dance like Fred Astaire
I wish I could dance! Fred Astaire!
I wish could dance (Yah!)
I wish I could dance!
I wish I could move so definite
Wish I could move! I wish I could dance! So definite!
Like walkin’ on air (Yah-ee, yah-ee, yah-ee)
Walkin’ on air, yah!

I wish I could dance like Fred Astaire
I wish I could dance! Fred Astaire!
I wish could dance (Oh!)
I wish I could dance!

Wish I could move! I wish I could dance! So definite!
Like walkin’ on air
