John, I’m Only Dancing (Again) (Live ’74)

[Spoken Word: David Bowie]
I'd like to bring forth my band
Mike Garson and Earl Slick on guitar
Greg Errico on drums and Doug Rauch on bass guitar

[Audience Applause]

Alto saxaphone, we have David Sanborn
Warren Peace and Gui
Hey Gui's up here! [?]
Some other voices you might've heard were Luther, Diane, and Anthony
We did a new song earlier. This is another new song
This from an album we just finished
This one's called "John, I'm Only Dancing"

[Audience Applause]

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
(Dancing) I'm having so much fun
(Dancing) Too bad my back had gone
(Dancing) Boogie down with David now
I'd give my house in the country
If you'd slept it's so funky

[Verse 2]
(Music) I'm dancing in the street
(Ooh, music) I've torn the shoes from my feet
(Romancing) It's got me dirty and sweet
It's got you reeling and rocking
Won't you let the slender thing in

[Verse 3]
(Rolling) I think it's all I can do
(Rolling) Just got me feeling you too
(Rolling) Get a little take a little back
Jumping John, the great goose is gone
Got a lion in my hand, a Charlie on my back

[Chorus]
(John) I'm only dancing
(She turns me on) I'm only dancing
(She turns me on) Oh get you with me
(Don't get me wrong) Ah ha ha ha ha
(I'm only dancing) Ooh
(I'm only dancing) Ooh

[Verse 4]
(Dancing) Well have you heard the news?
(Dancing) President has lost the blues
(Dancing) It needs some A-B-C
If he gives it to you
He'd better take it from me

[Verse 5]
(Sad sir) I pick up the bones
(Sad sir) Off your telephones
(Sad sir) Leave the numbers alone
Look the people in the eye
Tell them my oh my
Let your backbone slide

[Chorus]
(John) I'm only dancing
(She turns me on) I'm only dancing
(She turns me on) Oh yes
(Don't get me wrong)
I'm only dancing, oh-ho, yeah
I'm only dancing, oh-ho, yeah
(John) I'm only dancing
(She turns me on) Don't get me wrong
(She turns me on) Don't get me wrong
(I'm only dancing, ooh-ooh)
(I'm only dancing, ooh-ooh)
(I'm only dancing, ooh)

[Bridge]
