Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Everybody come around to window shop
I guess they've never seen the moves I got
I wanna be with what the people see
I wanna dance with Emily
[Verse 3]
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 seven gauge
[Verse 4]
Now I got the cookies that your mama sent
I got permission from the government
Someone should mention to the minister
Now I gotta dance with Jennifer
[Verse 5]
Jenny's got a mousehole full of pigeon scum
On top of mountain made of bubble gum
Don't understand what all that grief is for
Now I gotta dance with Eleanor
[Verse 6]
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 kinda movies I've been dreamin' of (Oh, oh)
[Verse 7]
I'll tell you somethin' that you think I'd 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
[Verse 8]
Oh, 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
