8th Avenue Shuffle Lyrics - Takin' It To The Streets - The Doobie Brothers

Patrick Simmons 

Hey, hey, honey, what's on your mind 

Well, you said that sleepin' with a poor band's not your style 

Ain't that just a little unkind 

Hey, Marlon Brando, what would you do in a spot like this 

I don't play as your pawn tonight 

Doin' the New York Hustle with a hundred dollar miss 

Summer night in the city 

New York girls they always make you feel so fine 

There's music, and I can always hear it playin' 

New York Nights and there's music in the streets

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

A doin' the Eighth Avenue Shuffle on a Friday afternoon 

With the hum of a thousand engines 

Singin' that old familiar tune 

And now yakety yak and don't talk back 

When a guy lay me down with my Pontiac 

Tell those high school queens of mine that the 

Prom was for your monkey shine 

Try 'n' a catch a cab in New York City 

New York girls are oh, so pretty 

Try 'n' a catch a cab in New York City 

New York girls make you feel so fine 

Try 'n' a catch a cab in New York City 

New York girls are oh, so pretty 

Try 'n' a catch a cab in New York City 

Music in the streets

Another night, another town 

I'm out on the road and ther's no one around 

And it's rainin', yeah, it's rainin' 

Silence is all around 

It's cold and lonely, oh darlin', if only I could feel it 

Oh, can you feel it 

Eighth Avenue Shuffle on a Friday afternoon 

With the hum of a thousand engines 

Singin' that old familiar tune 

Hey, Marlon Brando, do you agree it feels so fine 

Doin' the New York Hustle 

These girls are doin' the monkey shine 

Summer night in the city 

New York girls they always make you feel so fine 

There's music, and I can always hear it playin' 

New York Nights and there's music in the streets
