Boys, go and shine up your shoes Girls, run and powder your nose 'Cause tonight you'll be shaking From your head down to your toes
Well feeling your cool is as good as looking it Thinking you're cool is as good as knowing it Playing it cool is as good as blowing 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 in 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 dancing 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 your lady has a love noose she might never let you go And if you think maybe you're too young And you just can't cope, just grab a razor sharp Pair of cutting shears and cut a hole right in the rope Snip a hole right in the rope
Boys, go and shine up your shoes Girls, run and powder your nose 'Cause tonight you'll be shaking From your head down to your toes
Well if you wake up tomorrow morning Can't remember what you did Just ring up some of 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 worry that what you did just wasn't right Just remember, brothers and sisters After everyday's another night After everyday's another night
Boys, go and shine up your shoes Girls, run and powder your nose 'Cause tonight you'll be shaking From your head down to your toes (Repeat)
