Ain't
that a Kick in the Head
How lucky can one guy be, I kissed her and she kissed me,
like the fella once said, ain't that a kick in the head. I bob
and weave keep an ace up my sleeve Somebody open up a window in
this joint, I can't breath Got a permanent bar stool down at the
Can't Care Lounge Honey here's the chips, Lay em down I get drownded
in the beautiful sounds that the cash register makes When I get
my take Its like dinner at the White House with good booze and
plates of potatoes and steaks Never punch a guy with a nice wrist
watch on Honey let's take a ride in my Cadillac And put the sex
back in the car where it belongsLook at chump change over hear.
Only puttin a hundred down on the bout, I'll put a thousand down,
now lets go ta town or will that tap you out I get scared I might
get picked up for vagrancy Make a move kid I get sick of your
habbadashery. I got girls at the hotel upstairs Waiting for me
My first name's Jimmy My last name's Luxury I'm lucky as a rummy
Getting locked in a distillery I got a slot machine arm, a hundred
proof wink And a million dollar smile full of charm. WPLyricsJGD

Stormy
Weather
I gotta keep fighting no matter whatever shit happens, keep
a headlock on my game, I was born to entertain. I been as sad
as a hooker in the cold, afternoon rain. I won't stop laughin
and smiling for no one, cause I don't know when its gonna come
again. I think you're lucky in this world if you got two friends
you can trust. I'd pray to God but he's scared of us. I might
stumble, but I still got direction on my drunken compass. Get
me back to the studio so I can do a couple of new numbers. Cause
life can get weird like setting clocks back in the middle of an
Indian summer.Here's the journals of an amature psychic, as the
bottle pounds the shit out of the typewriter, I get scared of
myself when I'm not around. At the bar downtown, music works like
the friggin teamsters. I mean this. I spin the wheel get the thousand
dollar deal. Down at the Sands singing for my meals. Miss Adalay
and her Debutants, my alcoholic ghost haunts the sayance. Shaken
ice in an empty glass weaves in the creaks and cracks like the
old barndoors in a thunderstorm. The sky lights blood red and
it gets strangely warm. The rain falls like change from a slot
machine. In such a crooked dirty world I feel so squeaky clean.

Sweet
Apple Pie
Well I got nice shoes and a heart of gold. I never let the wining
get out of control. When I'm boozing I takes my time. It ain't
ya turn kid so wait in line. Yo! Kick that number that we did
up in Reno when we stepped on the stage in our shark skin chinos,
nothing but c-notes getting played at the tables, I knew the winning
horses before they left the stables, met a boogie woogie show
girl named marla mable on our first date I bought her gold cable
she was a winner a real fine dinner she could turn this old pro
back into a beginner. She did a burlesque number made a brother
wanna settle down, we'd get together ever summer when I's in town.
She was a crazy dame with a lazy eye, her claim to fame was getting
drunk and high. But her bedroom voice was killing me softly, I
started melting like a mister softy, but behind every skirt there's
a scandal, so I pack a black colt with a pearl handle.These friggin
cold ass benches at the dog track are enough to give a guy a severe
hemmrhoid jesus friggin christ attack I spilt moxie over my favorite
white farrah slacks wee small hours gaining on brockton's own
neck and neck around the outside lap would you believe this crap?
lets mosie on back to my suburban palace and relax. Wo wo wo.
Sweet summer time cooling out on the breezeway in my back yard
I got a great view of the i128 freeway. Let's retire into the
den my friend for some crackers and a couple of shafers. You know
what really sucks about being short, I gotta get all my suit pants
tapered, I got this one great tan suit and from a distance they
tell me it makes me look naked. WPLyricsJGD

Cha
Cha Cha
Cha Cha ChaDon't ya know that I love ya. Always thinking of
ya. Won't ya come on be my lady. Your cha cha cha drives me crazy.
The big band possesses me from inside out. He's got class, real
clout the kind they talk about on the front page of the New York
Times. He's got the gift of gab in rhyme. Hear his name blow in
the wind chimes of his Palm Springs patio. Have a Martini, maybe
one, two or three. Watch a couple westerns on my color TV. I wear
a robe to the packy in the morning to get the paper, The brain
behind the caper. Kid don't bother stealing the hubcaps, steal
the whole car. Half measures never ail us never got us so far.
Sipping bath tub gin outa jars. Is it wrong to gamble or just
to lose on this pleasure cruise? Sitting in the pool hall, watching
all the cool girls.Who's the brain who concocted such hairball
schemes? I'm living on cloud nine in champagne dreams. I'm spending
thousands, carousing, 100 bucks you wanna bet me? I'm dumping
plates of spaghetti on my new tuxedo. This cat took a leak in
the back of my limo. Nobody knows me like my Yiddish sister Michelle
Jacoby. Down at Vegas Night, at the Lion's Club im going for broke.
I'm the kinda guy when i move ya better watch my smoke. When I'm
not shaking hands or kissing babies, I'm down at the senior citzens
home doing a couple numbers for the old ladies. WPLyricsJGD
