Throw me in the river
Drown me in the tide
Float me to the ocean
Leave me on the other side
I’d crawl across the water on the
strength of these old lovesick blues
And it couldn’t get much worse
If I was dancing in a dead man’s shoes

You made me feel a captain
You made me feel a king
Then you made me feel that all my love
Just didn’t mean a thing
You moved me from the headlines to
the bottom of your back page news
And it couldn’t get much worse
If I was dancing in a dead man’s shoes
No it couldn’t get much worse
If I was dancing in a dead man’s shoes

Call Arthur Murray
Say I’m in a hurry
There’s gotta be some steps I can take
Donald O’Connor
On my very honor
Never climbed the walls that made my heart break

I gave you every nickel
And dime I ever owned
You spent it all on cheap perfume
And nights away from home
Strapped my heart in dynamite
and had the nerve to light the fuse
And it couldn’t get much worse
If I was dancing in a dead man’s shoes
No it couldn’t get much worse
If I was dancing in a dead man’s shoes

Call Arthur Murray
Say I’m in a hurry
There’s gotta be some steps I can take
Donald O’Connor
On my very honor
Never climbed the walls that made my heart break

You call me to your bedside
You call me on the phone
You call me names in public
That you oughtta leave at home
Just send me to the ‘lectric chair
and tell ‘em not to spare the juice
‘Cause it couldn’t get much worse
If I was dancing in a dead man’s shoes

So throw me in the river
Drown me in the tide
Float me to the ocean
Leave me on the other side
I’d crawl across the water on the
strength of these old lovesick blues
And it couldn’t get much worse
If I was dancing in a dead man’s shoes
No it couldn’t get much worse
If I was dancing in a dead man’s shoes
No it couldn’t get much worse
If I was dancing in a dead man’s shoes
