8th Avenue Shuffle lyrics

Patrick Simmons

Hey, hey, honey, what`s on your mind
Well, you said that sleepin` with a poor band`s not your style
Ain`t that just a little unkind
Hey, Marlon Brando, what would you do in a spot like this
I don`t play as your pawn tonight
Doin` the New York Hustle with a hundred dollar miss

Summer night in the city
New York girls they always make you feel so fine
There`s music, and I can always hear it playin`
New York Nights and there`s music in the streets

A doin` the Eighth Avenue Shuffle on a Friday afternoon
With the hum of a thousand engines
Singin` that old familiar tune
And now yakety yak and don`t talk back
When a guy lay me down with my Pontiac
Tell those high school queens of mine that the
Prom was for your monkey shine

Try `n` a catch a cab in New York City
New York girls are oh, so pretty
Try `n` a catch a cab in New York City
New York girls make you feel so fine
Try `n` a catch a cab in New York City
New York girls are oh, so pretty
Try `n` a catch a cab in New York City
Music in the streets

Another night, another town
I`m out on the road and ther`s no one around
And it`s rainin`, yeah, it`s rainin`
Silence is all around
It`s cold and lonely, oh darlin`, if only I could feel it
Oh, can you feel it

Eighth Avenue Shuffle on a Friday afternoon
With the hum of a thousand engines
Singin` that old familiar tune
Hey, Marlon Brando, do you agree it feels so fine
Doin` the New York Hustle
These girls are doin` the monkey shine

Summer night in the city
New York girls they always make you feel so fine
There`s music, and I can always hear it playin`
New York Nights and there`s music in the streets
