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
you best be at the dance hall down
on 14th street, you hear
There's gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be a showdown
I've got ten notches on my shoes
And when it comes to dancing
I just can't lose
They call me the top cat, right in this here town
I just want you to meet me, baby,
before the sun goes down
There's gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be a showdown
All the girls been losing, faith in me
It don't seem like top cat's great,
As he once used to be
I know I'm good
And so you better be better
When you get yourself out on that floor
You better have your steps together
There's gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be a showdown
Now my reputation has been 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)come on baby,you better step aside
(Four-Five) And let me get out here and do my jive
There's gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be a showdown, showdown, oh yeah
