Watch That Man
Shakey threw a party that lasted all nightEverybody drank a lot of something niceThere was an old fashioned band of married menLooking up to me for encouragement, it was so-so
The ladies looked bad but the music was sadNo one took their eyes off LorraineShe shimmered and she strolled like a Chicago mollHer feathers looked better and better, it was so-so
Yeah! It was time to unfreezeWhen the reverend Alabaster danced on his kneesSlam! So it wasn't a gameCracking all the mirrors in shame
Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man!Well he talks like a jerkBut he could eat you with a fork and spoonWatch that man! Oh honey, watch that man!He walks like a jerk, but he's only taking care of the roomMust be in tune
A Benny Goodman fan painted holes in his handsSo Shakey hung him up to dryThe pundits were joking, the manholes were smokingAnd every bottle battled with the reason why
The girl on the phone wouldn't leave me aloneA throw back from someone's LPA lemon in a bag played the Tiger RagAnd the bodies on the screen stopped bleeding
Yeah! I was shaking like a leafFor I couldn't understand the conversationYeah! I ran to the street looking for information
Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man!Well he talks like a jerkBut he could eat you with a fork and spoonWatch that man! Oh honey, watch that man!He walks like a jerk, but he's only taking care of the roomMust be in tune
Watch that man!
