Dear Andy,
Here 'tis.
Kind regards,
Bill. 

Verse:
Dancing may do this and that,
And help you take off lots of fat
But I'm no friend of dancing when it's hot!
So if you are a dancing fool,
Who loves to dance but can't keep cool
Bear in mind the idea that I've got.

Choruses:
When it gets too hot for comfort
and you can't eat ice cream cones
Tain't no sin, take off your skin and dance around in your bones.
When the lazy syncopation
of the music softly moans
Tain't no sin, take off your skin and dance around in your bones.

The polar bears agree up in Greenland
they got the right  idea
they think it's great to refrigerate
when we all cremate down here.
Just be like those bamboo babies
in the South Sea tropic zones
Tain't no sin, take off your skin and  dance around in your bones.

When we gather by the river
listen to ol' Deacon Jones
Tain't no sin, take off your skin and dance around in your bones.
When you walk down near the water
and you hear those sinful groans
Tain't no sin, take off your skin and dance around in your bones.

Do as I say right away wicked sinners
this is the judgment day
come jamboree in the river with me
and  wash those sins away.
Cast  off your gin and razors
like  wise your gambling  bones
Tain't no sin, take off your skin and  dance around in your  bones.

When you're  talking to your sweetie
on those  hot house telephones
Tain't no sin, take off your skin and dance around in your bones.
When you're on a crowded dance floor
 hear those red hot sax-o-phones
Tain't no sin, take off your skin and dance around in your  bones.

Take alook at the gals on the dance floor
notice the way they're dressed
 wearing silky clothes with out any hose
nobody knows the rest.
When a gal wears x-ray dresses
and shows everything she owns
Tain't no sin, take off your skin and dance around in your bones
