| 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 every day's another night | |
| After every day'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 | |
| 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 |
