I just don't care about the evening news,
I never listen to the crack house blues,
They say the city is a place to be,
I want to dance with Emily
Everybody come around the window shop,
I guess they've never seen the moves I got,
I want to be with what the people see,
I want to dance with Emily
Emily, sweet baby, won't you be my wife?
Cutting me wide open with a kitchen knife,
Everybody said that she's under age,
Honky tried to shoot her with a seven gauge
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 mouth so full of pidgeon's cum,
On top a mountain made a bubblegum,
Don't understand what all the grief is for,
Now I gotta dance with Eleanor
Eleanor, I wonder if we go too slow,
Straight down the hatch beneath the streetlights' glow,
Baby, when I get you on a persian rug,
That's the kind of movies I've been dreaming of
Ow ow
I tell you something 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 want to love you maybe three days a week,
Oh
I just don't care about the evening news,
I never listen to the crackhouse blues,
I want to be with what the people see,
I want to dance with Emily
I want to dance with Emily
