Ocean Club
My name is Norman -- Lou Norman
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 Texan model
And with a voice like Mahalia 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 a drink
And maybe you'll 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
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 Texan model
And with a voice like Mahalia Jackson
She don't need to work in slots like this
She got the pair of blue eyes that look green to me
