Boys and Girls

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
