Billy, he's down by the railroad track, sittin' low in the back seat of his Cadillac,
A augmentedA     F# minorF#m     Bm7Bm7    AsusAsus   A augmentedA   F# minorF#m   Bm7Bm7    AsusAsus
Diamond Jackie, she's so intact, as she falls so softly beneath him,
     Bm7Bm7               F#m7F#m7
Jackie's heels are stacked, Billy's got cleats on his boots,
             Bm7Bm7                 F#m7F#m7
Together they're gonna boogaloo down Broadway and come back home with the loot,

It's midnight in Manhattan, this is no time to get cute, it's a mad dog's promenade,

So walk tall,   or better don't walk at all.

Fish lady, fish lady, fish lady she baits them tenement walls,

I said, "Hey baby won't you take my hand, walk me down Broadway,
   A augmentedA                F# minorF#m              B minorBm
I'm a young man and I talk real loud, yeah, baby walk real proud for you.
D MajorD             A augmentedA                   F# minorF#m

No she won't take the train, no she won't take the train

She's afraid them tracks are gonna slow her down,
       EsusEsus         E MajorE
And when she turns this boy'll be gone
   A augmentedA   F# minorF#m          Bm7Bm7   AsusAsus A augmentedA F# minorF#m Bm7Bm7 AsusAsus
So long, sometimes you just gotta walk on.

Hey vibes man, hey jazz man play me your serenade

Any deeper blue and you're playin' in your grave

Save your notes, don't spend 'em on the blues boy,
     Bm7Bm7               F#m7F#m7
Save your notes, don't spend 'em on the darlin' yearlin' sharp boy,
      Bm7Bm7                      D MajorD
Straight for the church note ringin', vibes man sting a trash can
     EsusEsus      E MajorE

He's singin' (singin'), He's singin' (singin'), He's singin'
       Bm7Bm7              AsusAsus
All dressed up in satin, walkin' down the alley.

He's singin', singin', singin', singin',

Watch out for you junk man, watch out for your junk man,
