David Bowie - Watch That Man lyrics
[David Bowie - 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 shimmied 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! 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 fan painted
Holes in his hands
So Shakey hung him up to dry
The pundit's 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
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 watch that man
Watch that man watch that man
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 shimmied 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! 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 fan painted
Holes in his hands
So Shakey hung him up to dry
The pundit's 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
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 watch that man
Watch that man watch that man
