Watch That Man lyrics

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

A 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 throw back 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!

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

Watch that man!
