Manhattan Melodrama

(album: Manhattan Melodrama - 1975)

Rag times, swing times oh blow big ben
Please pretty please on a one night stand
Hey buddy can you spare me a dime
Why don't you come up and see me sometime

No 3d, no Cinerama, just a Manhattan melodrama

Lynns burger can you spit it up so goovey
Miss China town and old chop suey
Flag poles sitting on the land
Franklyn Rooservelt the grand cooling down

No 3d, no Cinerama, just a Manhattan melodrama

Buster crab, Dick tracy mad dog coal
Carl Bud, Shadow, Don Moor
Fast buck, hard luck, the new religion
Cold meat party for a cold stool pigeon

Jean Harlow, little Cesar, Santa d'tab
James Cagney, Carol Love, and old Georges Raft
Murder eating compry come and dig my grave
Look at that chicken with the moss salad way

No 3d, no Cinerama, just a Manhattan melodrama

Rag times, swing times oh blow big ben
