[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
