Watching That Man Lyrics - David Bowie

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 looking 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 

Yeah! it was time to unfreeze 

When the Reverend Alabaster danced on his knees 

Yeah! Well, it wasn't it 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 talks 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 

Shakey hung him up to dry 

The pundits were joking, the manholes were smoking 

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 a Tiger Rag 

And the villains on the screen stopped bleeding 

Photos 

Yeah! I was shaking like a leaf 

For I couldn't understand the conversation 

Yeah! So I ran to the street, looking for information 

Watch that man, baby 

Watch that man (repeat ad inf.) 

Keep cool, baby
