Metropolitan Glide Lyrics - Tom Waits

Are you ready, are you ready 

Knocky Parker told Bowlegged Sal 

They all know how to kick it in Cal 

They're playing this dope and this 

Money tune 

Dancing baby with a 7 mile broom 

Things are bulging out the rafters 

Like hell 

Dddddown there at the Hush Hotel 

They're jumping right out of their 

Seats, dancing to the bran' new beat 

Do... the Metropolitan Glide [2x]

The floor is polished and you 

Momma's gone 

You can quake and roll and moan 

29 gypsies in a Caddilac stoned 

Turn off the ringer on your cellular phone 

Whip the air like a Rainbow Trout 

Drag your tail pipe till you bottom out 

Do... the Metropolitan Glide [4x] 

The low bottom of the china moon 

The black swan and the way too soon 

Ace pocket and teh dog bone gone 

The peacock and the mean black swan 

The rain shower and high heeled shoe 

Bombay money and I know I can do it 

The sink hole and the victory dance 

Its in the pocket in the real tight pants 

Ddddo the Metropolitan Glide [2x] 

Photos 

Show your teeth bray like a falf 

You kill me with your machine gun laugh 

You make me trouble with the floor 

THat's creaking 

I"ve been ready to ka boom for a week 

Put on your stockings and your powder and blush 

Keep it all on the hush, hush, hush 

Do... the Metropolitan Glide [2x]
