 respectfully submit HELP. I'M WHITE AND I CANT'T GET DOWN.
 HELP, I'M WHITE AND I CAN'T GET DOWN
 writers:  Roger Ball, Clinton Gregory

 My woman told me last Friday night 
 her birthday's coming and things ain't right
 we've been together since before the war
 and I never had her out on the dance hall floor
 I didn't know what to say
 I never learned to dance, I only learned to play
 and to watch other people do their thing
 my job was to pick and sing
 
 Well I moped around the house
 watched late T.V. and slept on the couch
 I flipped through the dial and after a while
 a commercial came on that made me smile
 it said learn to dance, learn the moves 
 call 1-900  you just can't lose
 well it didn't take me long
 I jumped right up and I ran to the phone
 the operator asked "can I help you sir"?
 this is what I said to her
 
 chorus:
 Help, I'm white and I can't get dwon
 I got two left feet planted on the ground
 I need some help if I do the town
 Help, I'm white and I can't get down
 
 Well I took the course and I learned quick
 just one week that did the trick
 so when that magic evening came
 I knew I wouldn't be ashamed
 but the floor was crowded, something was wrong
 I didn't reconize the songs
 these cowboys ain't on my video tape
 I wonder if there's been some mistake
 I tried some moves I spun around
 knocked a whole line of dancers down
 I kept my cool, had to be vogue
 till they kicked my head doing the Cotton Eyed Joe
 I laid there awhile and held my face
 my woman went screaming from the place
 I crawled out the back door
 I didn't want no more
 I've had enough I'm going home 
 and make one more call on the telephone
 and when they answer on the other end
 this is what I'll say again
 
 repeat chorus
