Say man, they tell me you think you're pretty good
Don't you know you're in my neighborhood?
They tell me you're pretty fast on your feet
So I want you to meet me at the dance hall on Market Street, you hear?
Hey, hey, there's gonna be a showdown
Hey, hey, there's gonna be a showdown, showdown
Oh yeah
I've got ten notches on my shoes
When it comes to dancin' I just can't lose
They call me "The top cat", in this man's town
So I want you to meet me when the sun goes down
Hey, hey, there's gonna be a showdown
Hey, hey, there's gonna be a showdown, showdown
Oh yeah
All the girls are losin' faith in me
Don't seem like I'm as great as I used to be
I know I'm good, so you better be better
When you get out on the floor, you better have your steps together
Hey, hey, there's gonna be a showdown
Hey, hey, there's gonna be a showdown, showdown
Oh yeah
Now my reputation is being one of the fastest men alive
So I'm gonna see how good you are when I count to five
One, oh man, you better step
Two, you can do better than that
Three, man will you move aside?
(Four) and let me get out there (five) and do my jive
Hey, hey, there's gonna be a showdown
Hey, hey, there's gonna be a showdown, showdown
Hey, gonna be a showdown
Hey, hey, gonna be a showdown, showdown
Hey, there's gonna be a showdown
