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
|
|
Yea! 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
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
Watch that man!3 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
|
|
A Benny Goodman 1fan painted holes in his hands
|
So Shakey hung him up to dry
|
The pundits3were joking
|
the manholes were smoking
|
And every bottle battled
|
with the reason why
|
|
The girl on the phone wouldn't leave me alone
|
A throw back from someone's LP
|
A lemon in a bag played
|
the Tiger Rag3
|
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
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
Watch that man [repeat ad inf.]
|
