Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I walked into Lindy's, tired and tight
Me and my Julie, been a-fighting all night
Bankroll don't like it when I come in late
We got a big beef with a small concern, we must liquidate
[Verse 2]
We cab down to the St. Mark for a looky loo
They all loungin' in the lobby, then we do what we come to do
Lotsy goes down easy, Mo takes it in the face
Weinberg brothers run for cover, squirtin' metal all over the place
[Chorus]
There's a special satisfaction
When a job comes off so right
Better break out the good stuff
The boss wants to party all night
[Verse 3]
My Julie's in the chorus, on Mr. Ziegfeld's stage
My little canary, in a golden cage
I'm goofy on the girlie, but she runs hot and cold
It's a relief to get marchin' orders, and do just what I'm told
Tonight we jacked a convoy, two hundred barrel run
Trucked in from a brewery in East Paterson
Rolled in around midnight, delivered to the speaks
All that bubble, no trouble, whole crew gets to dip their beaks
[Chorus]
There's a special satisfaction
When a job comes off so right
Better break out the good stuff
The boss wants to party all night
[Verse 4]
It's just about dawn when I finally get home
I find my twist with that punk, Johnny Rome
So I pop the both, and I ankle downtown
To a hophouse in the Tenderloin, need to kick that gong around
[Chorus]
There's a special satisfaction
When a job comes off so right
Better break out the good stuff
The boss wants to party all night
