Saturday Night At the Manhattan Dance Bar
It’s great to be young, so long as you get older
Don’t lay it all on just one bet.
You’ve got to go easy if you go to the Manhattan
If you want to see Sunday, better watch your step.
Jake the Snake is sneaking in the alley
He’s got his dogs to keep him safe.
He’s also got Roberta, strutting on the dance floor
Mess with her, Jake will mess your face.
Shakes and Weasel looking for some yokels
Going to break heads, going to cut someone.
Stay in the light, stay out of corners
Mind your manners or you’ll come undone.
Me, I’m loose and I might get lucky
Got my arms around a woman and she’s holding tight.
Out to the car, passion in the back seat
sleazy and sweaty on a Saturday night.
It’s great to be young as long as you get older
Don’t lay it all on just one bet.
You’ve got to go easy if you go to the Manhattan
sleazy and sweaty on a Saturday night.
