Dancin’ John Doe – Drapht
C(choArds Dm7for thGe entire song - 4 beats each)
You can't tell John Doe how to dance
See I can dance I can dance like my name's John Doe
No one knowing who I am
See I can dance I can dance like my name's John Doe
Can't tell John Doe how to dance
nah he's the chief
dance to make it rain while the kids would drink
They're like damn that kid is mean
While the rest lookin' like Mr. Bean or Pistol Pete
No no he don't need not the smokin' hot hangin' off his side
A little like Frankenstein 'cause the day that he died he came alive
John Doe, he's like Sherlock Holmes
Knowin' what's on his elementary
He's just like Michael Jordan
King by the time that he was 23
So now you say
[chorus]
Can't tell John Doe how to move
To move
He watched him with his legs like his name's Jon Snow
You can not tell that man without a name how to move
And he was the man, imagine a man you can't fight
Last man standin', badness like bison
Phantom to dance like Michael
When he dance and smile, a Dick van dyke would
Psycho, whenever the beat dropped
He had feet like Godzilla, the whole city would heat up
Soon as he would step to the floor
You know
[chorus]
You can't tell John Doe how to move
No, no
You can't tell John Doe how to move, no, no
John Doe just moved, moved like no one told, he was
Animated but no cartoon, he was
More than human, just like you
But he knew just what to do
The man danced to a different drum
Rule of thumb not to succumb and run
Up in that place with the rest of the raps
Cause none of them tend to come back
John Doe's like Sherlock Holmes
Knowin' what's on is elementary
He's just like Michael Jordan
King by the time that he was twenty-three
So now you say...
[chorus]

No one knowing who I am

See I can dance I can dance like my name's John Doe

Can't tell John Doe how to dance

dance to make it rain while the kids would drink

They're like damn that kid is mean

While the rest lookin' like Mr. Bean or Pistol Pete

No no he don't need not the smokin' hot hangin' off his side

A little like Frankenstein 'cause the day that he died he came alive
