Gene Chandler lyrics : "When You're #1"

On the Southside of Chicago
Bobby boogie as the people
Watch him dance step on the floor


Ain't no match, you can
Catch him some night dancing

And the people in the disco
Cheer for more


And the music's fine
He's the greatest dance star
He'll blow your mind


Well, it's hard to stay on top
When you can't stop, no

You're number one, yeah

You're number one, yeah

You know, yeah
You're number one, yeah


Now Jimmy's dressed in satin
Laced with diamonds
And he has moves just like

A tiger in the night

In every disco up in Frisco

They're dancing
His moves are strong
To every song


And the number one
He had to know

So he challenged Bobby
On a TV show


Like the?, got the stuff
Got to show your stuff, yeah
When you're number one, yeah


You're number one, yeah
You know, yeah

You're number one, yeah

People cleared the floor

To let the dance begin
Bobby moved and glided
I thought his moves

Would never end

Jimmy turned and twisted

As the ladies watched him dance
His feet, they weaved
That magic spell

Put the crowd out in a trance

Everybody, everybody was looking

The music, the music, the music
The music was cooking


Those fast feet
Hips and hands were moving
And somehow when that

Smoke got cleared away

Jimmy was on the floor dancing

And Bobby had simply
Faded away


So if you think
That you're number one
You can't claim the title

Til the dance is done

You're always gonna

Make yourself a target
To every new kid
Who comes to town

He's waiting to meet you

At some disco
When you're number one
They try to shoot you down

When you're number one, yeah

You're number one, yeah
You know, yeah
You're number one, yeah
