The Nits
Dancing Girl / Red Cat
Room without paintings
Colors are brown
Hands in your pockets
Feet on the ground
Saturday evening
Take a bus downtown
You're lonely to find her
But there's no-one around
Dancing girl
You're so kind
Leaving my world
And my music behind
Dancing girl
You're so kind
Leaving my world
And my music behind
Colors are swayin'
Open a door
It's like a movie
You've seen it before
Saturday evening
Tears in a town
You're lonely to find her
But there's no-one around
Dancing girl
You're so kind
Leaving my world
And my music behind
Dancing girl
You're so kind
Leaving my world
And my music behind
Did you see me in the moonlit night?
Did you know me?
Did you see me walking out of the light?
Did you show me
How to get back through the door
How to step back on the floor
Stood in the corner talking to some friends
Over my shoulder I could see her dance
Couldn't move, my feet stuck to the ground
Because of the booze my head was spinnin' round
Hey white boy
Move on up
Get out of the hit parade
There's big big money
In black black music
And I don't like the songs you made
My pretty little sister
She used to be twister
She danced through the rock and roll
She's down in the alley
Goodbye to Long Tall Sally
While she's dancing to the black black soul
I don't wanna get some money
It makes it easy to move your feet
And my little sister
She's a real soul sister
She's dancing in the street
Hey white boy
Move on up
Get out of the hit parade
There's big big money
In black black music
And I don't like the songs you made
Red cat, running round
She's the heartbeat of the city
Red cat, running round
She's the heartbeat and she's pretty
Wonder why she's coming out of the night
Wonder why she's looking out of sight
Red cat, running round
She's the heartbeat of the city
Wonder, wonder, wonder who
Wonder, wonder, wonder who's that red cat
Red cat, running round
She's the heartbeat of the city
Red cat, running round
She's the heartbeat and she's pretty
Wonder why she's coming out of the night
Wonder why she's looking out of sight
Red cat, running round
She's the heartbeat of the city
Wonder, wonder, wonder who
Wonder, wonder, wonder who
