GEm Am C
Billy he's down by the railroad tracks
Sittin' low in the back seat of his Cadillac
Am Em
Jackie's heels are stacked
Billy's got cleats on his boots
C

D D2 D D2
It's a mad dog's promenade
GEm Am C
So walk tall or baby don't walk at all
GEm Am C
Fish lady, oh fish lady
She baits them tenement walls
Am Em
But I know that she won't take the train, no she won't take the train
Oh she won't take the train, no she won't take the train
C
She's afraid them tracks are gonna slow her down
And when she turns this
D D2 D D2
boy'll be gone
GEm Am C
So long, sometimes you just gotta walk on, walk on
Hey vibes man, hey jazz man, play me your serenade
Am Em
Save your notes, don't spend 'em on the blues boy
Save your notes, don't spend 'em on the darlin' yearlin' sharp boy
C
vibes man sting a trash can
D D2 D D2
Listen to your junk man
Listen to your junk man
GEm Am C
He's singin', he's singin', he's singin'
All dressed up in satin, walkin' past the alley
