LETRA

Oh, what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh, what, wow
That I've ever seen
Oh, what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh, what, wow

One night in a disco on the outskirts of Frisco
I was cruising with my favorite gang
The place was so boring filled with out-of-towners touring
I knew that it wasn't my thing

I really wasn't caring, but I felt my eyes staring
At a guy who stuck out in the crowd
He had the kind of body that would shame Adonis
And a face that would make any man proud

Oh, what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh, what, wow
That I've ever seen (ooh)
Oh, what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh, what, wow

The champion of dance, his moves will put you in a trance
And he never leaves the disco alone
Arrogance but not conceit, as a man he's complete
My creme de la creme, please take me home

He wears the finest clothes, the best designers Heaven knows
Ooh, from his head down to his toes
Halston, Gucci, Fiorucci
He looks like a still, that man is dressed to kill

Oh, what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh, what, wow
That I've ever seen (I've ever seen)
Oh, what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh, what, wow (ooh, ooh, ooh-wow)

Oh, what, wow (hey)
He's the greatest dancer
Oh, what, wow
That I've ever seen (I love your moves)
Oh, what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh, what, wow (that I've ever seen)

Oh, what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh, what, wow
That I've ever seen (I've ever seen)
Oh, what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh, what, wow (ooh, ooh, ooh-wow)

Oh, what, wow (hey)
He's the greatest dancer
Oh, what, wow
That I've ever seen (I love your moves)
Oh, what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh, what, wow (that I've ever seen)

Compositores: Bernard Edwards / Nile Rodgers
