This Must Be the Place

This must be the place you heard about
The word about town is out
What's black and white with girls, girls, girls?
Ay?
It's my place here
It's Harry Earle's!

This must be the place they're talkin' up
They're walkin' up here in drovеs
They love this white thеn black then white
No mix, no match, no worries
Riiight?
Riiight?
Riiight?

It ain't the best place
It ain't the worst place
But like the man said
In the first place
This must be the place!

This place is proud to show its face
Because ev'ry face is in its place
Because ev'rybody
Knows their place!

This must be the place that's makin' good
By takin' good care of you
How far these girls go, heaven knows!
Much farther than your quarter goes!

This must be the place, and what a place!
You got a place any time!
When things start getting rough outside
This is the perfect place to hide

It's a smart place
It's a dumb place
But ev'rybody's got to be someplace!

Just outside, the world's a scary place
The very place you came from -
But once you're safe inside this door
That world won't bother you no more!

More crash, more splash out on the floor
Just makes these girls give more, more, more!
There ain't a bad seat
In the entire place

Beats an ash can
For a fireplace
This must be the place

I hate to mention it -
But the white circuit is pretty unhappy with what you got here!
I hate to mention it -
But the colored circuit is pretty unhappy with what you got here!
I hate to mention it -
But this town is pretty touchy about mixin'-

Thanks!
Don't mention it!
Here's the place -
There ain't another place -
No other place shows it all -

All us
All them
And all for you

And that's the kinda grind
And that's the kinda grind

We do
This working place -
This playing place -
This crazy place -
This paying place -
This noisy place -
This dizzy place -
This gaudy place -
This busy place -

It's proud to show its face
Because ev'ry face is in its place
And it's just a case of keeping pace
With whose face it is to fill the space

Yes, this
Must
Be
The
Place
Yeah!
