Lyrics
[Verse 1] I hit the curb in my red Monday shoes The corner boys grin, they know I got news Coffee in my cup, and a billfold grin Sun on the brick like a promised win Mama said, "Boy, keep your feet in time" I said, "Watch me now, I been feeling fine" The screen door shakes when I step on through I got that tune, and I brought it to you [Pre-Chorus] Hear that piano climb Feel that floorboards sway My heart says, "All right" We gonna make it a day [Chorus] Dancin’ on Kedzie Dancin’ on Kedzie Keep it high, keep it easy (Dancin’ on Kedzie) Horn hit, smile wide Hand clap, let it ride Dancin’ on Kedzie (Dancin’ on Kedzie) [Verse 2] Old man Lou with a hat tipped low Shouts, "That grin of yours, where you gonna go?" I say, "Right here till the moon says bye" He laughs so hard he can’t tell why Girl by the jukebox, tapping her heel Says, "You look like hope, and hope feels real" I took her hand, spun her once or two The whole room lit up when the band came through [Pre-Chorus] Hear that piano climb Feel that floorboards sway My heart says, "All right" We gonna make it a day [Chorus] Dancin’ on Kedzie Dancin’ on Kedzie Keep it high, keep it easy (Dancin’ on Kedzie) Horn hit, smile wide Hand clap, let it ride Dancin’ on Kedzie (Dancin’ on Kedzie) [Bridge] If yesterday was heavy I left it at the door I found a better rhythm And I’m asking for more [Chorus] Dancin’ on Kedzie Dancin’ on Kedzie Keep it high, keep it easy (Dancin’ on Kedzie) Horn hit, smile wide Hand clap, let it ride Dancin’ on Kedzie (Dancin’ on Kedzie) [Outro] Hey now, watch me go Hey now, let it roll Dancin’ on Kedzie Right into my soul
