Translation
Bilingual
Never been to England, and never been to France
I never ever learned how to dance
I've never touched dope, and I've never taken drugs
Cross my heart even danced on a bear-skin rug
Guess it's true, what all those people they say
I'm gonna have to lose my old fashion ways
Men you know that is true, I guess I've led a sheltered life
Life
Never ever learned how to swing
I come from a small town
I really haven't learned anything
I guess I haven't learned to be much
I've been married to the same wife
Man, it's just been too much
You know I guess it's true, what those people said
I'm gonna have to lose my hometown ways
You know it's true, guess I've led a sheltered life
Take 'em on, lady
Guess it's true, what all those people, they say
And man, you gonna have to lose those out town ways
Well, you know that is true, guess I've led a sheltered life
