Soft Shoe Shuffle

“Confrontation” is not my style
When it comes to expressing a Point of View
Oh, I freely admit I’d rather run a mile
Than talk to a man, who’s gotta do
What a man’s gotta do. Because…

A man can Think and a man can Feel
But when one man’s “Fake” is another man’s “Real”
One man’s “Right” is another man’s “Wrong”
And when Push comes to Shove I go into ma Song
And Dance…

With ma Soft Shoe Shuffle and ma Jazz Hands
With ma Eyes an’ Teeth like a Happy Guy
I can slip ma way across the Badlands
“So long,” (Big Smile), “Bye-bye.”

Now, sometimes a man is born to be wild
An’ sometimes a man is Nobody’s Child
Huffin’ his Puff, all Tattooed an’ Big
Draggin’ his knuckles an’ showin’ his Ig–
–norance… (Oh look out!)

With ma Soft Shoe Shuffle and ma Jazz Hands
With ma Eyes an’ Teeth like a Happy Guy
I can skip ma way across the Badlands
“So long,” (Big Smilе), “Bye-bye.”

We can bе Heroes, we can be Jerks
We can all still pretend that Democracy works
But from Six Feet Under? Pushin’ up Daisies?
You won’t find me talkin’ Sane to Crazy
No chance!

With ma Soft Shoe Shuffle and ma Jazz Hands
With ma Eyes an’ Teeth like a Happy Guy
I can dance ma way across the Badlands
“So long,” (Big Smile), “Bye-bye.”

With ma Soft Shoe Shuffle and ma Jazz Hands
