lyrics

Them front st. girls are crazy, they shimmy and they shake.
Them front st. girls are crazy, they shimmy and they shake.
But my eyes are getting hazy and I’m struggling to stay awake.

I could be real civil, baby, I could give you another chance.
I could be real civil, baby, I could give you another chance.
But you swear just like the devil and you know nothing of romance.

I’ve lined up my Ps and Qs, I’ve dotted my Ts now I’m crossing my Is
I’ve lined up my Ps and Qs, I’ve dotted my Ts now I’m crossing my Is
I’ve got no hard feelings for you, baby, it’s him that I despise.

There’s nothing funny these days about the price of sugar and oil.
There’s nothing funny these days about the price of sugar and oil.
It’s highway robbery. It could set your blood to boil.

You can’t have everything all at once at the same time.
You can’t have everything all at once at the same time.
Sometimes you get the whole conceit, sometimes you just get the rhyme.

There’s a new commissioner in town and he’s cleaning up the street.
He’s a clean cut kid, he’s got a list of things you can’t do on his beat.

My backyard is filling up with all this useless junk.
I’m gonna sell of my earthly possessions, I’m gonna go off and become a monk.

The machines are working now, there’s little left to do.
Take your gloves off mama, lets go off and start something brand new.

I said, “Let’s quit this city madness, let’s go back to Delacroix.”
but you only shop and nordstroms now, all you read is evelyn waugh

Them front st girls are crazy, they shimmy and they shake.
There must be some kind of computation error, there must be some kind of mistake.
