I'm up on the eleventh floor
And I'm watching the cruisers below
Oh, my heart's in the basement
My weekend's at an all time low
He's down on the street
And he's trying hard to pull sister Flo
'Cause she's hoping to score
Well, so I can't see her letting him go
Walk out of her heart
Walk out of her mind
Oh, she's so swishy in her satin and tat
In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat
Oh God, I could do better than that
Oh, she's an old-time ambassador
Of sweet talking, night walking games
And she's known in the darkest clubs
For pushing ahead of the dames
Well, if she says she can do it
Then she can't do it, she don't make false claims
But she's a queen and such a queen
Such a laughter is sucked in their brains
Now she's leading him on
She'll lay him right down
Yes she's leading him on
And she'll lay him right down
But it could have been me
Yes, it could have been me
Why didn't I say?
Why didn't I say? No, no, no
She's so swishy in her satin and tat
In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat
Oh God, I could do better than that
So I lay down a while
And I gaze at my hotel wall
The cot feels so cold
That it don't feel like no bed at all
Yeah, I lay down a while
And I gaze at my hotel wall
But he's down on the street
So I throw both his bags down the hall
And I'm phoning a cab
'Cause my stomach feels small
There's a taste in my mouth
But there's no taste at all
It could have been me
Yes, it could have been me
Why didn't I say?
Why didn't I say? No, no, no
She's so swishy in her satin and tat
In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat
Oh God, I could do better than that
Oh, you betcha
Oh yeah
