Song | Perfect Hustler |
Artist | John Martyn |
Album | Glorious Fool |
The man who taught you how to dance | |
He was a perfect hustler | |
The man who taught you how to dance | |
He had a sense of style | |
The man who taught you how to dance | |
I believe he had gold teeth in | |
I believe the man who taught you how to dance | |
He had some style. | |
I want to know, I need to know | |
I want your information | |
My curiosity is as great | |
As is your implication | |
I must confess, I've been impressed | |
The way you move around | |
I thought you got that kind of form | |
Back in the lost and found. | |
Oh,please, won't you tell me your name | |
Won't you just tell me, who you are | |
Please, won't you tell me your name | |
Won't you just please give yourself away. | |
The man who taught you how to dance | |
I believe he had gold teeth | |
The man who taught you how to dance | |
He had a sense of style | |
The man who taught you how to dance | |
I believe he had some motion | |
The man who taught you how to dance | |
I believe it took a while. | |
I have a lust | |
A sudden expectation | |
Got the inkling | |
Of an inclination | |
Got the kind of shape | |
Make a blind man see | |
Make a lame man run | |
You're safe with me | |
My lips are sealed | |
They will never be undone. | |
Ah, you've got to tell me your name | |
Just tell me who you are, who are you, who are you | |
Won't you tell me your name | |
Won't you just give yourself away? | |
The man who taught you how to dance | |
He was a perfect hustler | |
The man who taught you how to dance | |
I believe he had some style | |
The man who taught you how to dance | |
He was the perfect hustler | |
The man who taught you how to dance | |
He must have took a while. | |
My interest has been aroused by your perpetual motion | |
My approach is not in the least concerned with high brow notions | |
You've got the name, you've got the style | |
You've got a sense of fashion | |
Underneath that cool lover’s eye... your passion. | |
Won't you please tell me your name, tell me your name | |
Tell me, just tell me, who are you? | |
Won't you please just tell me, tell me your name | |
Won't you tell me who you are. | |
The man who taught you how to dance | |
He had a sense of fashion | |
The man who taught you how to dance | |
He had a sense of style | |
Ah, the man who taught you how to dance | |
He walked the royal mansions | |
The man who taught you how to dance | |
He walked the royal mile, uphill! | |
On his knees! | |
Through his teeth, of his nose, of his nose, of his nose, of his hose | |
He taught you how to dance | |
The can can, cha cha | |
But you give him the big E. | |
Give him the elbow | |
Then the body swerve | |
Give him the body swerve | |
Give him the body swerve | |
Give him the body swerve | |
Give him the rubber ear | |
Give him the rubber ear | |
Give him the body swerve | |
Give him the rubber ear | |
Body swerve. |
