From Aladdin Sane (1973) by David Bowie

Watch That Man (Bowie) - 4:25

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

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

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

Watch That Man! Oh Honey Watch That
Man
He talks like a jerk but
he could eat you with a fork and spoon
Watch That Man! Oh Honey Watch That
Man
He walks like a jerk
But he's only taking care of the room
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
