YELLO - Ocean Club lyrics

I've been in this business for fifteen years

If people have a problem and don't want talk to the police

They want talk to me

So, this Friday afternoon I got a phone call

Young lady asked me to go downtown

What the hell is a girl like Mandy Cooper

doing at the lower Manhattan Ocean Club?

Looking like a taxi model

And with a voice like Mihaelia Jackson

She don't need to work in slots like this

She got the pair of blue eyes that look green to me

And then she approached me

Oh boy

Miss Cooper, I suppose?

Let's stop playing games

I'm on the job here

Let's come to terms

She tried to wind me up with some nonsense

about an ex-boyfriend who was giving her a hard time

I said listen honey

We all know you can help yourself

If you want me to work on your case

Let's get things straight -- and now

Oh boy

Nobody is ever gonna damage your career

With a voice like this

And a pair of eyes

You're gonna be huge in any business

You still don't smoke?

I need to drink

And maybe you join me

Looks better for the chappy over there

Looks like old friends

Meeting after a hard night's work

I walked to the corner slowly

Wanted to ask Mr. Big here for a light

He turned around

I put a quarter into the jukebox

And played a beautiful Ave Maria

When I turned around

Miss Cooper had gone
