Way down in New Orleans close to the bayou
Lived a little boy named Danny who could really groove
He never had much money but he sure had style
He'd dance all night and he'd make the crowd go wild
Go go
Go Danny go go go
Go Danny go go go
Go Danny go go go
Danny the dancer he could really show
He used to take his shoes and polish 'em up bright
He'd hit the local joints and dance all night
With a jukebox playin' that rock 'n' roll sound
Danny'd spin and twist turnin' heads all around
Go go
Go Danny go go go
Go Danny go go go
Go Danny go go go
Danny the dancer he could really show
His mama told him "Danny you gotta stay in school"
But Danny just smiled said "Dancin's way too cool"
He'd dance all day and he'd dance all night
In every dance hall he'd light up the night
Go go
Go Danny go go go
Go Danny go go go
Go Danny go go go
Danny the dancer he could really show
Now every Saturday night the folks would come around
To see little Danny the best dancer in town
With his blue suede shoes and his slick back hair
He'd dance like a fire lightin' up the air
Go go
Go Danny go go go
Go Danny go go go
Go Danny go go go
Danny the dancer he could really show
One day he'll make it big in a city of lights
But until that day comes he's dancin' every night
So if you're ever down south and you hear that beat
Look for Danny the dancer with the movin' feet
Go go
Go Danny go go go
Go Danny go go go
Go Danny go go go
Danny the dancer he could really show
