I just don ＇ t care about the evening news

I never listen to the crackhouse blues

They say the city is the place to be

I wanna dance with Emily

Everybody come around the window shop

I guess they never seen the moves I got

I wanna be with what the people see

I wanna dance with Emily

Emily sweet baby won ＇ t you be my wife

Cutting me wide open with a kitchen knife

Everybody said that she is underage

Honky tried to shoot me with a 7 gage

Now I got the cookies that your momma sent

I got permission from the government

Someone should mention to the minister

Now I gotta dance with Jennifer

Jenny ＇ s got a mousehole full of pigeon scum

On top a mountain made of bubble gum

Don ＇ t understand what all the grief is for

Now I gotta dance with Eleanor

Eleanor I wonder if we grew too slow

Straight down the hatch beneath the streetlight ＇ s glow

Baby when I get you on that persian rug

That ＇ s the kind of movies I ＇ ve been dreaming of

I ＇ ll tell you something that you ＇ d think I know

I got two tickets to the sold out show

Some of the fellas like to think I ＇ m Greek

I wanna love you maybe three days a week

I just don ＇ t care about the evening news

I never listen to the crackhouse blues

I wanna be with what the people see

I wanna dance with Emily

I wanna dance with Emily
