My dear I gotta tell ya something while I'm on my feet
I soaked myself in gin tonight I can't be discreet
Lucky Lucy's on the floor she won't get up till dawn
The jukebox is running low, I guess I better get home
Oh
Well, I guess I'll tell ya baby, there's a prize for every fight
The train is leavin' right on time, the city with no lights
It seems to me they got ya babe, you bat your eyes so well
Your crimes don't feel so bad, when you're on that trail
Oh
Well I see the way you wanna be, your subtleties a case
Parade yourself around like a drink, like a waste
The wolves out there will eat you up, ya better go on home
'Cause you'll invest in something baby, that ya can't return
Oh
Well now, can't ya see we gotta go down town
Gotta buy ya diamond rings and a silk black gown
It's never too late to twirl around in that dress
We do the lindy hop - the jitterbug - confess to impress
I see the way you're lookin' at me, what do I do?
I feel the stomp of your heels
It's time to disperse for cocktail hour
Cranberry and club
Well it don't matter
I see the way ya wanna go in this world
The time it don't matter staying young is getting old
Shut the suicide doors, don't ya dare look back
Well we're leavin' today, say goodbye to fat jack
I see the way that your are
Never knowin' your next move
So let's pave the way
For unpredictable dismay
Do ya understand me darlin'
I never see us fallin'
So lets keep on dancin'
The six count swing
