Leo Sayer - Long Tall Glasses Lyrics

Artist: Leo Sayer

Album: Greatest Hits

Genre: Pop

  • Songwriters: Courtney, Leo Sayer

I was travellin' down the road feelin' hungry and cold
I saw a sign sayin', food and drinks for everyone
So naturally I thought I would take me a look inside
I saw so much food there was water coming from my eyes

Yeah, there was ham and there was turkey
There was caviar and long tall glasses with wine up to y'are
And somebody grabbed me, threw me out of my chair
Said, "Before you can eat, you gotta dance like Fred Astaire"

You know I can't dance, you know I can't dance
You know I can't dance, you know I can't dance, I can't dance

I am a man of the road, a hobo by name
I don't seek entertainment, just poultry and game
But if it's all the same to you then yes, I will try my hand
If you were hungry as me then I'm sure you will understand

Hmm, now wait a minute of course I can dance
Of course I can dance, I'm sure I can dance
I'm sure I can dance, I can dance
I can dance, I really hit the floor, ah, it feels good, look at me dancing

I did a Two Step, Quick Step and a Bossanova
A little Victor Sylvester and a Rudy Valentino
You should have seen me moving right across the floor
Hand me down my tuxedo, next week I'm coming back for more

I can dance, oh yes, I can dance
Look at me dance on the floor movin'
I feel good, I can dance, I can dance
I can dance, I can dance, I can dance, I can dance

    Had to add another post as last was getting too long. "Yellow River" was a scream. Remember why we sang it? OMG the memories are flooding back. Remember the big chocolate Easter Bunny either you or Debbie won? Tasted sooo good!! Would be great to be able to revisit those times at Miami Caravan Park. Gwen & Sue-ellen Layt visited Mum and Dad a few months ago. What a blast from the past that was. Talk soon. Love to Col.

    There was ham and there was turkey there was caviar, with long tall glasses with wine up to here, then somebody grabbed me, through me out of my chair, said before you can eat you got to dance like Fred Astair. Didn't we think we were good. Had so much fun, most of it was innocent in those days. Then we grew up and got our licences. Remember the place at Tugun, pink cotton balls, safety pins and Lyn?

    Hey Leah - I was just telling Col about great times we had down at Miami. Remember us singing this song at the top of our lungs, omg didn't we just love it. Yellow river yellow river.
