Version 1Tuning: Standard No capo [Intro] (x2) G, Cadd9, Em, A [Verse 1] A Shakey threw a party that lasted all night D Everybody drank a lot of something nice E There was an old fashioned band of married men F#m Looking up to me for encouragement - it was so-so A The ladies looked bad but the music was sad D No one took their eyes off Lorraine E She shimmered and she strolled like a Chicago moll F#m Her feathers looked better and better - it was so-so [Bridge] D A Yea! it was time to unfreeze B D When the Reverend Alabaster danced on his knees D A Slam! so it wasn't a game E Cracking all the mirrors in shame [Chorus] A D G C Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man D C G He talks like a jerk but he could eat you with a fork and spoon A D G C Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man D C B He walks like a jerk, but he's only taking care of the room C Must be in tune [Instrumental] G, Cadd9, Em, A, G, Cadd9, Em, A [Verse 2] A A Benny Goodman fan painted holes in his hands D So Shakey hung him up to dry E The pundits were joking, the manholes were smoking and every bottle battled F#m with the reason why A The girl on the phone wouldn't leave me alone D A throw back from someone's LP E A lemon in a bag played the Tiger Rag F#m And the bodies on the screen stopped bleeding [Bridge 2] D A Yeah! I was shaking like a leaf B D For I couldn't understand the conversation D A E Yeah! I ran to the street, looking for information [Chorus 2] A D G C Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man D C G He talks like a jerk but he could eat you with a fork and spoon A D G C Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man D C B He walks like a jerk, but he's only taking care of the room C Must be in tune [Outro] (the repetition of "watch that man")* G Cadd9 Watch that man
