Mama's been tired
She ain't slept in a week
Baby's been cryin'
All night, squeak squeak squeak
Me, I'm fine!
I ain't got nowhere to go
Except downtown to dance that heel to toe!
Daddy's been quiet
He don't talk to anyone
He got things to do
Things never do get done
Me, I'm fine!
I ain't got nowhere to go
Except downton to dance that heel to toe!
That old heel to toe! Heel to toe!
Keep on dancing that old heel to toe!
Brother's no good
Since his true love walked away
He just stays inside
And he don't come out all day
Me, I'm fine!
I ain't got nowhere to go
Except downtown to dance that heel to toe!
My sister she's a sight
I catch her staring at the door
She used to talk about dreams
Well, she don't dream much anymore
Me, I'm fine!
I ain't got nowhere to go
Except downtown to dance that heel to toe!
That old heel to toe! Heel to toe!
Keep on dancing that old heel to toe!
So everybody get your coat
And put those things away!
We've been down so long
Been lyin' forever and a day
What might happen
Well you never, ever know
If you go downtown to dance that old heel to toe!
That old heel to toe! Heel to toe!
Keep on dancin' that old heel to toe!
That old heel to toe! Heel to toe!
Keep on dancing that old heel to toe!
