DI just don't care about the Gevening news
DI never listen to the Acrackhouse blues
DThey say the city is the Gplace to be
DI wanna Adance with DEmily
DEverybody come around the Gwindow shop
DI guess they never seen the Amoves I got
DI wanna be with what the Gpeople see
DI wanna Adance with DEmily
GEmily, sweet baby, won't you be my wife
DCutting me wide open with a kitchen knife
EEverybody said that she is underage
AHonky tried to shoot me with a A77 gage
DNow I got the cookies that your Gmomma sent
DI got permission from the Agovernment
DSomeone should mention to the Gminister
DNow I gotta Adance with DJennifer
DJenny's got a mousehole full of Gpigeon scum
DOn top a mountain made of Abubble gum
DDon't understand what all the Ggrief is for
DNow I gotta Adance with DEleanor
GEleanor, I wonder if we move too slow
DStraight down the hatch beneath the streetlight's glow
EBaby when I get you on that persian rug
AThat's the kind of movies I've been A7dreaming of
DI'll tell you something that you'd Gthink I know
DI got two tickets to the Asold out show
DSome of the fellas like to Gthink I'm Greek
DI wanna Alove you maybe Dthree days a week
DI just don't care about the Gevening news
DI never listen to the Acrackhouse blues
DI wanna be with what the Gpeople see
DI wanna Adance with DEmily
DI wanna A7dance with DEmily
