Chorus: Boys go and shine up your shoes Girls run and powder your nose ‘cause tonight you’ll be shakin’ From your head down to your toes
Well feeling you’re cool is as good as lookin’ it Thinkin’ your’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 might never let you go And if you think that maybe you’re too young And you just can not cope The 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’ your’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 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 blame 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
