Hey boys, gather round boys, the money's right 
Go down to low town for me tonight 
Walk onto forty four and knockon that big black door 
Lay some money on that man 
And get the very best table you can 

Well,there's a soul band's wailing behind the beat, 
And they cook when the blue lights spin. 
There's a 'go-go girl' yeah, 
She works it out,now. 
Look when you walk in, 
Yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah. 
Everybody knows 
To see her dance,now

Yeah, but Twinkle Toes, 
I know you're trying 
To hide your broken heart; 
You act so gay. 
Yeah,behind the smile, 
I know you're crying. 
Your big great lonely eyes 
Give you away.

You know you must hang on, girl. 
Hang on tight; 
Don't let your feelings show.

But every thing's all right.
