I Just Don't Care About The Evening News
I Never Listen To The Crackhouse 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 Mousehole 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 Movies I've Been 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

I Just Don't Care About The Evening News
I Never Listen To The Crackhouse Blues
I Wanna Be With What The People See
I Wanna Dance With Emily
I Wanna Dance With Emily
