Emily Lyrics - Adam Green

I just don't care about the evening news 

I never listen to the crack house 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 mouse hole 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 movie that I'm 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 

Oh, I just don't care about the evening news 

I never listen to the crack house blues 

I wanna be with what the people see 

I wanna dance with Emily, I wanna dance with Emily
