Yello — Ocean Club lyrics

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
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
