Lyrics
Intro:
(Bo-jang-ga-jang-ga, Bo-jang-ga-jang-ga, Bo-jang-ga-jang-ga, Bo-jang-ga-jang-ga,
Bo-jang-ga-jang-ga)
*whistling*
Couplet 1:
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
then he'd lightly touch-down
Couplet 2:
he told me of a time he worked with, with minstrel shows
travelling throughout the south
spoke with tears for 15 years how his, how his dog and he
they would travel about
but his dog up 'n died
up 'n died
after 20 years he still grieves
Couplet 3:
he said "I dance now at every chance in Honkey Tonks
for my drinks and tips
but most the time I, I spend behind this county bars
you son I, I drinks a bit"
then he shook his head
oh lord, when he shook his head
I could swear I heard somebody sing "please, please
Refrain:
that's Mr. Bojangles
call him Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles, come back
and dance, and dance, and dance please dance
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles come back
and dance, and dance, and dance please dance"
(come back and dance again Mr. Bojangles)
*whistling*
