Watch That Man (Live) [2023 Remaster]

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

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

Yeah, I began to unfreeze

When the Reverend Alabaster danced on his knees

Yeah, so it wasn't a game

Cracking all the mirrors in shame

Watch that man

Oh, honey, watch that man

Talks like a jerk but he could eat you with a fork and spoon

Watch that man

Oh, honey, watch that man

Walks like a jerk but he's only taking care of the room

Know he must be in tune

Yeah

Benny Goodman fan painted holes in his hands

So Shakey hung him up to dry

The pundits were joking, manholes were smoking

Every bottle battled with the reason why

Girl on the phone wouldn't leave me alone

A throwback to someone's LP

Lemon in a bag played the Tiger Rag

And the bodies on the screen stopped bleeding

Yeah, I was shaking like a leaf

'Cause I couldn't understand the conversation

Yeah, so 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

Well, he must be in tune

Oh yeah

Watch that man, ha

(Watch that man) Watch that man, ha

(Watch that man)

Watch that man

(Watch that man)

Watch that man

(Watch that man)

Watch that man

(Watch that man)

Watch that man

(Watch that man)

(Watch that man) Watch that man

(Watch that man)

Watch that man
