The TV sets-a-lookin grim
This time a riot so big
I'm feelin lucky cos I got the wheels
Looks like I'm takin a trip
      
        Head to Chicago, So close to home
        To get a little relief
        Don't really need to carry no gun here
Don't need to fight with no beast

        Take a cab, take a bus
        And you can walk if you like
        Don't really matter as long as you go
        Gonna feel it alright, alright said

        And if you wanna stay along,
        Sure is plenty goin on
        Every corner, you see I'm
        Cuttin The Rug
        Cuttin The Rug
        Cuttin The Rug
        Just Cuttin The Rug
I think i see them
Cuttin The Rug
Cuttin The Rug
Kid can't dance
But he's cuttin the rug
I can almost dance
I shoulda cut the rug
Watch Jimmy dance
I see him cuttin the rug
Oh..Uh
Can't dance
Cut the rug

        So if your born, startin to face
        Cos somethin's gettin ya down
        You get up, & check it on out
        I think you'll see what I found

        And if you wanna stay along
        Sure is plenty goin    on
        On every corner, you see I'm

          A cuttin the rug
        Just cuttin the rug
          Cuttin the rug
        Just cuttin the rug
