watch that man

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

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
