Watch That Man (Live) [2023 Remaster]

[Verse 1]
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 Revеrend Alabaster danced on his knees
Yеah, so it wasn't a game
Cracking all the mirrors in shame

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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
