Metropolitan Glide (Live Knoxville 06/29/08)

Are you ready!?

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-a money tune

Dancing baby with a 7 mile broom

Things are bulging out the rafters like hell

Down there at the Hush Hotel

They're jumping right out of their seats,

dancing to the bran' new beatDo the Metropolitan Glide

Do the Metropolitan GlideThe floor is polished and your momma's gone

You can quake and roll and moan

29 gypsies in a Cadillac stoned

Turn off the ringer on your cellular phone

Whip the air like a Rainbow Trout

Drag your tail pipe till you bottom outDo the Metropolitan Glide

Do the Metropolitan GlideHey! Hey!Do the Metropolitan GlideThe low bottom of the China moon

The black swan and the way too soon

Ace pocket and the 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

It's in the pocket in the real tight pantsDo the Metropolitan Glide

Do the Metropolitan GlideHey!The Metropolitan!

The Metropolitan!Show your teeth, bray like a calf

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, hushDo the Metropolitan Glide

Do the Metropolitan Glide

Do the Metropolitan Glide

Do the Metropolitan Glide

The Metropolitan!Do the Metropolitan Glide

Do the Metropolitan Glide
