Who goes down before 9 o clock?
I ain't up till after dark...
strollin around on the avenue....
somebody help me find my shoe...

don't get caught in the back fdoor....
don't get caught...
don't get caught in the back door
don't get caught.

Had a comb...

Take me to your evil land...
I'm on the phone with half a man...

Did you say no-no, come on now.

One more night with a darkened vest
I just a-movin' but it ain't my hand.
Talk a while we can lift a smile....

Did you say no, did you say no now?
Come on now. Did you say no?
Did you say no-no, come on now.

Yes I mind...sometimes...
when everybody seems to be havin a good time...
and theres a man in the corner
and he looks like he's lost his mind.

And everybody...everybody..
everybody...everybody...
