| Well he | shines like a penny in a little kid's hand |
| Bb | |
| When he's | out on a Saturday night |
| C | G | |
| He's a r | eal go-getter and the best two-stepper you'll | see |
| C | |
| But when I'm | sitting alone at a table for two |
| Bb | F | |
| Cause he's already out on the | floor |
| C | G | C | G | |
| I t | hink about something that my | mama used to say to | me |
| C | |
| Chorus: You got to | dance with the one that brought you |
| Bb | F | |
| Stay with the one that | wants you |
| C | G | |
| The | one who's gonna love you when all of the others go | home |
| C | |
| Don't let the green grass fool you |
| Bb | F | |
| Don't let the moon get | to you |
| C | G | C | |
| Dance with the one who | brought you and you can't go | wrong |
| Bb | F | C | C | |
| He's got his | old best buddies and his new best friends |
| Bb | F | |
| And the | girls all give him the | eye |
| C | G | |
| He's a | good time Charlie and the life of the party ton | ight |
| C | |
| But when I | think about another well I don't think twice |
| Bb | F | |
| Cause there'll never be another like | him |
| C | G | C | G | |
| I | know he really loves me and I thi | nk maybe that mama was r | ight |
| Chorus |
| F | C | G | |
| You've got to | dance with the one that b | rought you |
| C | |
| And you can't go wr | ong |
| Bb | F | C |
