Chords

[Intro] (x2) G, Cadd9, Em, A [Verse 1]
A
Shakey threw a party that lasted all night

D
Everybody drank a lot of something nice

              E
There was an old fashioned band of married men

                        F#m
Looking up to me for encouragement - it was so-so

A
The ladies looked bad but the music was sad

D
No one took their eyes off Lorraine

     E
She shimmered and she strolled like a Chicago moll

                               F#m
Her feathers looked better and better - it was so-so
[Bridge]
D           A
Yea! it was time to unfreeze

         B                        D
When the Reverend Alabaster danced on his knees

D           A
Slam! so it wasn't a game

E
Cracking all the mirrors in shame
[Chorus]
A     D    G                         C
Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man

   D                              C                       G
He talks like a jerk but he could eat you with a fork and spoon

A     D    G                         C
Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man

   D                         C                         B
He walks like a jerk, but he's only taking care of the room

           C
Must be in tune
[Instrumental] G, Cadd9, Em, A, G, Cadd9, Em, A [Verse 2]
A
A Benny Goodman fan painted holes in his hands

   D
So Shakey hung him up to dry

    E
The pundits were joking, the manholes were smoking and every bottle battled

         F#m
with the reason why

    A
The girl on the phone wouldn't leave me alone

  D
A throw back from someone's LP

  E
A lemon in a bag played the Tiger Rag

                                     F#m
And the bodies on the screen stopped bleeding
[Bridge 2]
D           A
Yeah! I was shaking like a leaf

      B                           D
For I couldn't understand the conversation

D        A                 E
Yeah! I ran to the street, looking for information
[Chorus 2]
A     D    G                         C
Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man

   D                              C                       G
He talks like a jerk but he could eat you with a fork and spoon

A     D    G                         C
Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man

   D                         C                         B
He walks like a jerk, but he's only taking care of the room

           C
Must be in tune
[Outro] (the repetition of "watch that man")*
G                 Cadd9
   Watch that man
