[Verse 1]
YC7ou got to dFance with who brung you, swD7ing with who swung you,
DGon't be a fickle fool,
You cC7ame here with a gal, who's alwFays been your pal,
Don't leG7ave her for the first unattached giC7rl, it just ain't cool
[Chorus]
You got to dFance with who brung you, swD7ing with who swung you,
LGmife ain't no fortyD7-yard dashGm, 
Be iBbn it for the lonFdimg run, 'cause in the loFng run you'll have morD7e fun, 
if you dG7ance with who brC7ung you to the basFh
[Verse 2]
I C7had a friend from Texas, he really had some stFyle, 
he sang that gCood old Western Swing and drove 'em wiFld
TA7hen a talent scout from Vegas said "DmBoy, play and sing this way"
And in oG7ne short year he was broke and C7in L.A.
[Chorus]
You got to dFance with who brung you, swD7ing with who swung you,
LGmife ain't no fortyD7-yard dashGm, 
Be iBbn it for the lonFdimg run, 'cause in the loFng run you'll have morD7e fun, 
if you dG7ance with who brC7ung you to the basFh
[Verse 3]
YC7ou gotta be real careful what you wiFsh for, 
'cause you juC7st might get the whole darn thiFng, 
Be sA7ure what you want is really soDmmething you can use
Or you migG7ht wind up half dead, just singing the BC7lues
[Chorus]  
You got to dFance with who brung you, swD7ing with who swung you,
LGmife ain't no fortyD7-yard dashGm, 
Be iBbn it for the lonFdimg run, 'cause in the loFng run you'll have morD7e fun, 
if you dG7ance with who brC7ung you to the basFh
if you dG7ance with who brC7ung you to the basA7hD7  
if you dG7ance with who brC7ung you to the basFh
