The Dirty Boogie lyrics

Written by b. setzer

Switchblade 327
Lit cigarette in his hand
Steel-toed boots on the accelerator
Oil leakin’ outta the pan

Switchblade, three two-barrels
Gettin’ there as fast as he can
All juiced up like a hot carburetor
Spittin’ gas onto the fan

Blacktop burnout, saturday night
Try to catch him if you can

Switchblade 327
Switchblade, seven come eleven

This old house once knew it’s children
This old house once knew it’s wife
This old house was home and comfort
As they fought the storms of life

This old house once rang with laughter
This old house heard many shouts
Now it trembles in the darkness
When the lightning walks about

Ain’t gonna need this house no longer

Well, my baby and me went out late saturday night
I had my hair piled high and my baby just looked so right
Well, pick you up and ten, gonna get you home at two
Your mama don’t know what I got in store for you
But baby that’s all right we’re looking as cool as can be

We found a little place that really didn’t look half bad

There’s a place where you can go
Music’s hot and lights are low
But there’s something you should know
Before the night is through

’neath a buzzing neon sign
Dressed in style so cool and refined
Stands a man from another time
Who’s calling out to you

There in the night that has heard a thousand voices
Whispered a thousand names
Sang out a thousand love songs

There’s a man in town all the women know
He goes by the name of nosey joe
He don’t care if they’re married
He takes his pick
Long as they’re women, he’s ready to stick

His big nose in their business
His big nose in their business
That’s nosey joe, the nosiest guy I know
