| I just don’t care about the evening news
|
| I never listen to the crackhouse blues
|
| They say the city is the place to be
|
| I wanna dance with Emily
|
| Everybody come around the window shop
|
| I guess they never seen the moves I got
|
| I wanna be with what the people see
|
| I wanna dance with Emily
|
| Emily, sweet baby, won’t you be my wife
|
| Cutting me wide open with a kitchen knife
|
| Everybody said that she is underage
|
| Honky tried to shoot me with a 7 gage
|
| Now I got the cookies that your momma sent
|
| I got permission from the government
|
| Someone should mention to the minister
|
| Now I gotta dance with Jennifer
|
| Jenny’s got a mousehole full of pigeon scum
|
| On top a mountain made of bubble gum
|
| Don’t understand what all the grief is for
|
| Now I gotta dance with Eleanor
|
| Eleanor, I wonder if we grew too slow
|
| Straight down the hatch beneath the streetlight’s glow
|
| Baby when I get you on that persian rug
|
| That’s the kind of movie that I’m dreaming of
|
| I’ll tell you something that you’d think I know
|
| I got two tickets to the sold out show
|
| Some of the fellas like to think I’m Greek
|
| I wanna love you maybe three days a week
|
| I just don’t care about the evening news
|
| I never listen to the crackhouse blues
|
| I wanna be with what the people see
|
| I wanna dance with Emily
|
| I wanna dance with Emily |
