ROCK AND ROLL BAR


See the guy sittin' by the bar
He's been pushed a little too far
A lousy job, a bitchy wife
I think he's wonderin' if he'll get a life

Now there goes Judy
She's a waitress
Her face is pretty
Her legs are long
Your undressing her with your eyes
Huh! Take a number
Get in line

Got off of work at a quarter past five
Got in my car and I started to drive
Set up the stage now we're feelin' low
A shot of whiskey chased with a beer
Ironic smile now we're ready to go

Come on Baby now it's alright
You're in a Rock and Roll Bar tonight
Leave your inhibitions over by the door
You've worked hard now it's time to score

Come on Baby now it's alright
You're in a Rock and Roll Bar tonight
The smoke is hangin' in the air like a fog
The men are sniffin' around like dogs
(Alright)

It's kind of funny
It's sort of strange
The way we play these primal games
From the bottom of the ladder, Baby
To the top
Strip away the varnish and we're all the same


See the pretty lady dancin' with her man
He holds her close
He don't let go
Over his shoulder she stares at the band
Her eyes are hungry
He don't even know

One forty five now the dance floor sweats
We're not through celebratin' yet
Another week's gone and we're still alive
We love our freedom to party
Freedom to sing
Freedom to love
Your moment has arrived

Come on Baby now it's alright
You're in a Rock and Roll Bar tonight
We got the power, got the soul
And, Lord knows, we got Rock and Roll

Come on Baby now it's alright
You're in a Rock and Roll Bar tonight
Brothers and sisters, one and all
It's last call for alcohol
(Come on)
It's last call for alcohol
It's last call for alcohol
Last call for alcohol
