I knew a man, Bojangles, and he'd dance for you in worn out shoes With silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants, the old soft shoe He jumped so high, he jumped so high, then he lightly touched down I met him in a cell in New Orleans, I was - down and out He looked to me to be the eyes of age as he spoke right out He talked of life, he talked of life, he laughed, slapped his leg a step He said his name, Bojangles, then he danced a lick across the cell He grabbed his pants a better stance, oh, he jumped up high, he clicked his heels He let go a laugh, he let go a laugh, shook back his clothes all around
This is really fun to sing to. Great job.

I knew a man, Bojangles, and he'd dance for you
in worn out shoes
With silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants,
the old soft shoe
He jumped so high, he jumped so high, then he lightly touched down
I met him in a cell in New Orleans, I was - down and out
He looked to me to be the eyes of age as he spoke right out
He talked of life, he talked of life, he laughed, slapped his leg a step
He said his name, Bojangles, then he danced a lick across the cell
He grabbed his pants a better stance, oh, he jumped up high, he clicked his heels
He let go a laugh, he let go a laugh, shook back his clothes all around
