Lyrics

Mr bojangles – robbie williams

Whistle:
Doo d-doo d-doo-d-doo dooo d-doo d-doo d-doodoo
Doo d-doo d-doo-d-doo dooo d-doo d-doo d-dooooo

I knew a man bojangles and he'll dance for you
In worn out shoes
With silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants
He would do the old soft shoe
He would jump so high - jump so high, and then lightly touch down

He told me of a time he worked with, with the minstrel shows
Travelling throughout the south
Spoke with tears for fifteen years how his, how his dog and him
They would travel about
But his dog up and died. part of him died, after twenty years he still grieves

He said, "i dance now at every chance in honky tonks
For my drinks and tips
But most of the time I spend behind these county bars
You see son i, I drinks a bit."
Then he shook his head. oh lord when he shook his head
I could swear I heard someone say please, please

That's mister bo-ojangles. call him mister bo-ojangles
Mister bo-ojangles, come back and dance. and dance. and dance - please dance

Mister bo-ojang-gles, mister bojangles
Mister bojangles, come back and dance. and dance. and dance. please dance

Spoken:
Come back and dance again mr bojangles

Whistle:
Doo d-doo d-doo-d-doo dooo d-doo d-doo d-doodoo
Doo d-doo d-doo-d-doo dooo d-doo d-doo d-dooooo
