A
Shakey threw a party that lasted all night
D
Everybody drank a lot of something nice
             E
There was an old fashioned band of married men
                        F#m
Looking up to me for encouragement it was so-so

     A
The ladies looked bad but the music was sad
 D
No one took their eyes off Lorraine
      E
She shimmered and she strolled like a Chicago moll
                               F#m
Her feathers looked better and better it was so-so

D            A
Yea! it was time to unfreeze
          B                        D
When the Reverend Alabaster danced on his knees
  D          A
Slam! so it wasn't a game
  E
Cracking all the mirrors in shame

Chorus:
 A      D   G                         C
Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man
    D                              C
He talks like a jerk but he could eat
                      G
you with a fork and spoon
 A      D   G                         C
Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man
    D                          C
He walks like a jerk, but he's only
                    B
taking care of the room
            C
Must be in tune

A Benny Goodman fan painted holes in his hands
So Shakey hung him up to dry
The pundits were joking, the manholes were smoking
And every bottle battled with the reason why

The girl on the phone wouldn't leave me alone
A throw back from someone's LP
A lemon in a bag played the Tiger Rag
And the bodies on the screen stopped bleeding

Yeah! I was shaking like a leaf
For I couldn't understand the conversation
Yeah! I ran to the street
Looking for information

Chorus

Watch that man
Watch that man
Watch that man
Watch that man
