Paragraph Lyric
Chorus:
Boys go and shine up your shoes
Girls run and powder your nose
'Cause tonigh you'll be shakin'
From your head down to your toes

Well feeling you're cool is as good as lookin' it
Thinkin' you're cool is as good as knowin' it
Playin' it cool is as good as blowin' it
You know you can't spend a dollar
If you ain't got a dime
You can't hook a fish if you ain't got a line
You won't catch the bus if you're not there on time

So go read up your books and sharpen your hooks
Then all you need is money and a mouth full of honey
And if you play your cards right after dancin' all night
You won't have to walk home alone
You won't have to walk home alone

Boys you can hang loose and slip up real cool
But if that lady has a love noose
She migt never let you go
And if you think that maybe you're too young
And you just cannot cope
Then grab a razor sharp pair of cutting shears
And cut a hole right in the rope
Snip a hole right in the rope

Chorus

Well feeling you're cool is as good as lookin' it
Thinkin' you're cool is as good as knowin' it
Playin' it cool is as good as blowin' it
You know you can't spend a dollar
If you ain't got a dime
You can't hook a fish if you ain't got a line
You won't catch the bus if you're not there on time

Well if you wake up tomorrow morning
You can't remember what you did
Just ring up someof your friends
and they'll tell you just how low you slid
Oh don't be ashamed of anything you hear
After all you can't be blamed
When you're drinking so much beer
Hey don't you worry
That what you did just wasn't right
Just remember brothers and sisters
After every day's another night
Just remember brothers and sisters
After every day's another night
