New York Shuffle Lyrics & Tabs by Graham Parker & The Rumour
New York Shuffle
guitar chords lyrics
All right, let's do the New York shuffle
Manhattan baby with a sing song voice
She got her place in the human zoo
I went to livin' on the boulevard
Now that the revolution's due
She said, I've been around from town to town
And I learned to love and hate
But time don't change not a unique game
They just keep herdin' through that gate
And do the New York shuffle, baby New York scuffle
Goin' to stay awake all night
Do the New York shuffle, baby New York scuffle
Get yourself uptight, get uptight
Stick around kids, you're gonna see some action
Better shoot them in the street
Get yourself uptight, get uptight
Stick around kids, you're gonna see some action
Better shoot them in the street
Grab a gun before the police come
Don't tell me, you're too sweet
Down in the alley, they are hittin' harder
Not as blown as a ball can be
They're burnin' flags here and just in drag here
It sure is a sight to see
And do the New York shuffle, baby New York scuffle
Goin' to stay awake all night
Do the New York shuffle, baby New York scuffle
Get yourself uptight, yeah get uptight
Mister Mayor give the key
Let me lock you up
Throw that key down the deepest subway
In New York, New York, yeah
Ah primal scream, I had electric dream
I had to bang my head against the ground
I got to get out quick before I get as sick
As the people livin' in this town
Bounce me off the pavement, bounce me off the wall
Bounce me off a taxi car
Give me a shot of that old Jack Daniels
And put me down in bars
And do the New York shuffle, baby New York scuffle
Goin' to stay awake all night
Do the New York shuffle, baby New York scuffle
Get yourself uptight
Yes do the New York shuffle, New York scuffle
Goin' to stay awake all night
Well do the New York shuffle, baby New York scuffle
Get yourself uptight, yeah uptight
Down in New York city, get uptight
Down in New York baby, get uptight
Tight tight tight tight get uptight
Tight tight tight tight get uptight
Tight tight tight tight get uptight, uptight
