New York Dolls Lyrics

"(There's Gonna Be A) Showdown" lyrics


Say man, they tell me you think you're pretty good
Don't you know you're in my neighborhood?
They tell me you're pretty fast on them feets
You best be at the dance hall down on 14th Street, you hear?

There's gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be a showdown
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, gonna be a showdown

Well, I've got ten notches
On my shoes
And when it comes to dancin'
I just can't lose
They call me the top cat
Right in this here town
I just want you to meet me, baby
When sun goes down

There's gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be a showdown
Alright, now

All the girls been losin'
Faith in me
It don't seem like top cat's great
As he once used to be
I know I'm good
And so you, you just better be better
And when you get yourself out on that floor
You better have your steps together

There's gonna be a showdown
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, gonna be a showdown

Now, I got the reputation for bein'
One of the fastest men alive
And I'm gonna see just how good you are
When I count to five, give me one, Jerry
Oh come on, you better step, now try me with two
Oh come on, you can do better than that, now give me three
Ah, come on baby, just step aside
I'm gonna come out here, I'm gonna do my jive

There's gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be a showdown
I said yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, gonna be a showdown, showdown, now
