The newspaper ride is hanging like a thread You're looking for your sailor boy The music uncertainly, disconcertingly You're looking for your sailor boy From what I can tell There's water in hell The shuck and jive, the shuck and jive is over The shuck and jive, the shuck and jive is over The second time, the second time is over It's too bad the monkey's on your shoulder Well the truth be a lyin' stone cold messiah It's time to let the cash roll in This ain't the kind of man I want to defend It's the year 2010 From what I can tell There's water in hell The shuck and jive, the shuck and jive is over The shuck and jive, the shuck and jive is over The second time, the second time got over It's too bad the monkey's gone No one likes to lose No one likes to lose No one likes to lose There's water in hell There's water in hell There's water in hell There's water in hell There's water in hell There's water in hell There's water in hell
