Shakey threw a party that lasted all night |
|
Everybody drank a lot of something nice |
|
There was an old fashioned band of married men |
|
Looking up to me for encouragement, it was so so |
|
The ladies looked bad but the music was sad |
|
No one took their eyes off Lorraine |
|
She shimmered and she strolled like a Chicago moll |
|
Her feathers looked better and better, it was so so |
|
Yeah, it was time to unfreeze |
|
When the Reverend Alabaster danced on his knees |
|
Slam, so it wasn't a game |
|
Cracking all the mirrors in shame |
|
Watch that man |
|
Oh honey, watch that man |
|
Well, he talks like a jerk |
|
But he could eat you with a fork and spoon |
|
Watch that man |
|
Oh honey, watch that man |
|
He walks like a jerk |
|
But he's only taking care of the room, must be in tune |
|
Benny Goodman fan painted holes in his hands |
|
So Shakey hung him up to dry |
|
The pundits were joking, the manholes were smoking |
|
And every bottle battled with the reason why |
|
The girl on the phone wouldn't leave me alone |
|
A throwback from someone's LP |
|
A lemon in a bag played the Tiger Rag |
|
And the bodies on the screen stopped bleeding |
|
Yeah, I was shaking like a leaf |
|
For I couldn't understand the conversation |
|
Yeah, I ran to the street |
|
Looking for information |
|
Watch that man |
|
Oh honey, watch that man |
|
He talks like a jerk |
|
But he could eat you with a fork and spoon |
|
Watch that man |
|
Oh honey, watch that man |
|
He walks like a jerk |
|
But he's only taking care of the room, must be in tune |
|
Watch that man |
|
Watch that man |
|
Watch that man |
|
