Marc and the Mambas- Sleaze (Take It, Shake It)

Lipstick marks on pint beer mugs
And lovebites on the neck
Take me in your backroom
And you’ll pay for what you get

Diana Dors is all washed up
With Dolores del Rio
Hanging round the lowlife dives
And other zombie go-go’s

Sleaze, can be very tragic
Sleaze, but I only see the magic
Sleaze, can be very flashy
Sleaze, it’s at its best when trashy
Take it, shake it
Fly with it
Do it, screw it
Till you’re sick
Get a hit
Pull a trick
Love it till you’re sick and tired of it
(Shake it!)

Hanging ’round these backstreets
In the Soho afterhours
Feeling very used
And I’m feeling very tired
Someone threw a party (shake it!)
Someone threw a fit (take it!)
Baby let me mambo with you a little bit
Mambo! (mambo)
Mambo! And all those other Spanish hustles

Did I tell you all my secrets? (no)
About the things I did? (I did?)
About people I went with (huh?)
how they treated me like shit (that’s right!)
And you fell out of bed
And I had to drag you back in
Back into my life
Into my sleazy life (sleazy life)

Hey! Hey! Shit! (take it)
Did I ever tell you I loved you? (did I ever?)
That we could be so good together
Hanging out on the street together
Selling our meat together
Sleaze (hey!)
I’ve worn these rags for days
And now I feel just sleepy
All these looks and hooded crooks
Are making me feel creepy
A Greasy Greek is eyeing me
And making me an offer
I’ll takes his bribes and cigarettes
Move on to find another
Oh Yeah!
Strange how you never…
tell me where you earn your money…
some are big
some are bad
all unnecessary
