Where The Action Is
4
Where streets start getting wild
5
Well you're moving on down on the other side of the tracks
6
Would you cross that line baby, there ain't no turning back
7
Some raise and I don't ever wanna see that place
8
That's where the action is
9
Listen, hear the stories hear the lies
10
You hear the rooms they criticize
11
They call you everything under the moon
12
Then they try to buy you with diamonds and rings and rings
13
Move over baby gonna help you out of this mess
14
By the look of your face well you been here before I guess
15
You're hanging around, like some kinda parasite on past
16
And I just wanna tell you to come on let's go
17
And I know a place where never cold
18
And I know a place where the thing is sin
19
And I'm gonna tell you where the action is
20
Your momma's told you about whiskey and she's told you about beer
21
...drink and hear... nothing
22
It turns you into a monster it turns your mind insane
23
It does things to you where you will never come back again
24
I don't care what your disposition is I don't care what's your name
25
I'm gonna tell you where the action is
26
Look at you dressed in your debutante dress and your phoney eye-lashes
27
Walking around like you just walked out of some fucking car crash
28
You think that you're OK cause you're looking like you're gonna have a smash
29
with the action
30
I don't care where you're going, I don't care what you say,
31
What your religion is
32
Baby, I just wanna tell you where the action is, hey, hey, hey, hey
33
Take off that wedding ring baby, you don't need it anymore
34
Take off that dress girl and throw it out the door
35
Take off those phoney make-up and those eye-lashes I saw
36
Take off your shoes and your hat
37
And throw the whole fucking lot right out the door
38
Come over here and lend me your ear
39
I'm gonna tell you where the action is
40
I don't care if you can read a book or if you can write
41
I don't care how long your hair is or how bright
42
I don't care about much to tell you the truth but that's allright
43
I only care is if you come on like you think you're with the action
44
I've got only one thing to say: come here darling, kiss me,
45
I'm gonna show you where the action is
46
You spend a little dollar and you spend a little dime
47
You get all funny and you laugh at your friends
48
And you think you're having a good time
49
You don't know nothing till you come around here and have some of mine
50
Then you'll start to understand about the two sides of the line
51
Come over here darling, lend me your ear, gonna educate you
52
Gonna tell you where the action is
