Lyrics
What Would Frank Do
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tonight the joint is fully wound
with budget desperadoes
B-movie wannabees with nothing
left but time and
The air is thick with martini-fueled
bravado and
Long-legged women with heartbreak
on their minds...
So you slide up to the bar
when here comes a looker
A beauty with a broken smile
who just might be the one...
The kind of girl that's seen it all
and lived to talk about it
And there in lies the problem
About how to get this done...
(chorus)
Everybody wants to walk the cool way
Everybody wants to make the perfect move
And at times like this we all should consider
What would Frank do...
What would Frank do...
She's slowly nursing on a Seven & Seven
Nonchalantly lets you light her cigarette
And the way that she's sitting
You can almost see to heaven
You gotta get this right or that might be all you get...
(chorus 2)
Everybody wants to walk the cool way
Everybody wants to make the perfect move
And at times like these we all should consider
What would Frank do...
What would Frank do...
When it's coming down to closing time
What would Frank do...
(bridge)
And you saw him at the garden,
Know the words to all the tunes
Saw every single movie six or seven times
But you we're all mere mortals
He left howling at the moon
In the wee, wee hours of the night...
(chorus)
Everybody wants to walk the cool way
Everybody wants to make the perfect move
And at times like this we all should consider
What would Frank do...
What would Frank do...
When it's coming down to closing time
What would Frank do...
