[Intro] (x2)
G, Cadd9, Em, A  
[Verse 1]
AShakey threw a party that lasted all night
DEverybody drank a lot of something nice
There was an oEld fashioned band of married men
Looking up to me for encF#mouragement - it was so-so
AThe ladies looked bad but the music was sad
DNo one took their eyes off Lorraine
She sEhimmered and she strolled like a Chicago moll
Her feathers looked better and F#mbetter - it was so-so
[Bridge]
DYea! it was Atime to unfreeze
When the BReverend Alabaster danced Don his knees
DSlam! so it Awasn't a game
ECracking all the mirrors in shame
[Chorus]
AWatch Dthat Gman! Oh honey, watch that Cman
He Dtalks like a jerk but he could Ceat you with a fork and Gspoon
AWatch Dthat Gman! Oh honey, watch that Cman
He Dwalks like a jerk, but he'Cs only taking care of the Broom
Must be in Ctune
[Instrumental]
G, Cadd9, Em, A, G, Cadd9, Em, A  
[Verse 2]
AA Benny Goodman fan painted holes in his hands
So DShakey hung him up to dry
The Epundits were joking, the manholes were smoking and every bottle battled
with the F#mreason why
The Agirl on the phone wouldn't leave me alone
A Dthrow back from someone's LP
A Elemon in a bag played the Tiger Rag
And the bodies on the screen stopped F#mbleeding
[Bridge 2]
DYeah! I was Ashaking like a leaf
For I Bcouldn't understand the convDersation
DYeah! I rAan to the street, Elooking for information
[Chorus 2]
AWatch Dthat Gman! Oh honey, watch that Cman
He Dtalks like a jerk but he could Ceat you with a fork and Gspoon
AWatch Dthat Gman! Oh honey, watch that Cman
He Dwalks like a jerk, but he'Cs only taking care of the Broom
Must be in Ctune
