Remember when you held my hand
Say, remember when you were my man
Walk, talk in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Roll it over in your mind
Why don't you dance with me?
I'm not no Limburger
Why don't you dance with me?
I'm not no Limburger

Oh say, why don't you dance with me?
I'm not no limburger
Just a limber girl
Just a limber girl
Just a limber girl
Just a limber girl
