[00:12.73] No, you couldn't call Jesse a babe in the woods
[00:15.79] He's just weak in self-defense
[00:17.35] 'Cause he's so thin skinned
[00:20.48] He can't take a joke at his expense
[00:24.54] "You're a push down window," says Rowdy Yates
[00:28.04] "I can run you up and down
[00:31.04] Anytime I want
[00:32.35] I can make you my dancin'--
[00:34.79] My dancin' clown!"
[00:36.60] You're my dancin' clown
[00:40.29] Dancin' dancin'
[00:43.41] My dancin' clown
[00:47.10] Dancin'
[00:48.73] You're my dancin' clown
[00:51.73] Dancin' dancin' dancin'
[00:55.47] My dancin' clown
[00:59.41]
[01:01.67] Rowdy Yates is as bold as Jove--
[01:05.22] He's all chide and snide and bluff--
[01:07.42] Stuck in the romantic tradition
[01:09.47] Of acting rough and tough
[01:12.91] "You're always charging thru," says Jesse
[01:15.98] Nervous, lookin' all around--
[01:19.35] To see who's seein' him bein' a dancin'
[01:23.17] A dancin' clown
[01:24.79] He's a dancin' clown
[01:28.60] Dancin' dancin'
[01:31.67] A dancin' clown
[01:37.35] Dancin'
[01:37.91] He's a dancin' clown
[01:39.85] Dancin' dancin' dancin'
[01:43.73] A dancin' clown
[01:47.98]
[01:51.41] Cherchez la femme
[01:54.16] Whenever love comes around
[01:56.35] Someone's a dancin' clown
[02:00.29]
[02:03.22] Cherchez la femme
[02:06.22] Whenever hearts start to pound
[02:09.35] Someone's a dancin' clown
[02:13.98] Down the street comes last-word Suzie--
[02:16.85] She's high yellow--lookin' top nice
[02:19.28] You hear the swoosh of jungle blades
[02:21.79] And the crackle of northern ice
[02:25.74] "Hot damn!" says Rowdy--lookin' up
[02:29.06] "Yum!" says Jesse lookin' down
[02:31.81] "How would you like to be her dancin'
[02:35.00] .
