Metropolitan Glide Tom Waits

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 money tune
Dancing baby with a seven-mile broom
Things are bulging out the rafters like hell
D-d-down there at the Hush Hotel
They're jumping right out of their seats
Dancing to the brand new beat

Do the Metropolitan Glide
Do the Metropolitan Glide

The floor is polished and your Momma is gone
You can quake and roll and moan
Twenty-nine gypsies in a Cadillac stoned
Turn off the ringer on your cellular phone
Whip the air like a rainbow trout
Drag your tailpipe till you bottom out

Do the Metropolitan Glide
Do the Metropolitan Glide
Do the Metropolitan Glide
Do the Metropolitan Glide
