Slick Willie was a shoeshine boy
|
Workin' downtown, 42nd Street
|
He had a little racket dealin' out some packets
|
That no one ever saw him eat
|
Well Rita was a go-go dancer
|
In a bar just across the street
|
While Willie shined shoes Rita swung her boobs
|
To a hunky, funky, junkier beat
|
Topless-A-Go-Go
|
Put a little shine on your shoes
|
Dress up nice, 'cause you're in paradise
|
And you chase away the mean ol' blues
|
Well Willie knew Rita danced topless
|
And Rita knew Willie shined shoe
|
Because very night among the flashing lights
|
They'd come out 'n' say "How do you do?"
|
There each went about their business
|
Until the break of day
|
Then they count out the bucks while the garbage trucks
|
Tow the rest of the night away
|
Topless-A-Go-Go
|
Put a little shine on your shoes
|
Dress up nice, 'cause you're in paradise
|
And you chase away the mean ol' blues
|
Dooby doop doo
|
Doobly doobly doo
|
Waah waah
|
Dooby doop doo
|
Oooh oooh
|
Well Willie was found in an alley
|
And Rita got stabbed by a drunk
|
A telephone call replaced "The Belle of the Ball"
|
And there was someone else dealin' out junk
|
Well if you can't see the moral of this story
|
Well then you can't see the trees for the wood
|
Because the things that are done in the name of fun
|
Can cost a whole lot more than they should
|
Topless-A-Go-Go
|
Put a little shine on your shoes
|
Dress up nice, 'cause you're in paradise
|
And you chase away the mean ol'...
|
Topless-A-Go-Go
|
Put a little shine on your shoes
|
Dress up nice, 'cause you're in paradise
|
And you chase away the mean oool' blu
