Intro

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

The ladies looked bad but the music was sad

No one took their eyes off Lorraine

 She shimmered and she strolled like a Chicago moll

 Her feathers looked better and better - it was so-so

Bridge

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

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

 Must be in tune

Intro again

Verse 2

A Benny Goodman fan painted holes in his hands

 So Shakey hung him up to dry

 The pundits 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

Bridge 2

Yeah! I was shaking like a leaf

 For I couldn't understand the conversation

Yeah! I ran to the street, looking for information

Chorus 2

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

ENDING: (the repetition of "watch that man")*

Watch that man

CHORDS USED: You can use whatever variation you want, barre chords, power

chords and so on but here are the good ol' classical chords that I used.

Don't hit strings with an 'x' on them.
