Where The Action Is

Where streets start getting wild

Well you're moving on down on the other side of the tracks

Would you cross that line baby, there ain't no turning back

Some raise and I don't ever wanna see that place

That's where the action is


Listen, hear the stories hear the lies

You hear the rooms they criticize

They call you everything under the moon

Then they try to buy you with diamonds and rings and rings


Move over baby gonna help you out of this mess

By the look of your face well you been here before I guess

You're hanging around, like some kinda parasite on past

And I just wanna tell you to come on let's go

And I know a place where never cold

And I know a place where the thing is sin

And I'm gonna tell you where the action is


Your momma's told you about whiskey and she's told you about beer

...drink and hear... nothing

It turns you into a monster it turns your mind insane

It does things to you where you will never come back again

I don't care what your disposition is I don't care what's your name

I'm gonna tell you where the action is


Look at you dressed in your debutante dress and your phoney eye-lashes

Walking around like you just walked out of some fucking car crash


You think that you're OK cause you're looking like you're gonna have a smash

with the action

I don't care where you're going, I don't care what you say,

What your religion is

Baby, I just wanna tell you where the action is, hey, hey, hey, hey


Take off that wedding ring baby, you don't need it anymore

Take off that dress girl and throw it out the door

Take off those phoney make-up and those eye-lashes I saw

Take off your shoes and your hat

And throw the whole fucking lot right out the door

Come over here and lend me your ear

I'm gonna tell you where the action is


I don't care if you can read a book or if you can write

I don't care how long your hair is or how bright

I don't care about much to tell you the truth but that's allright

I only care is if you come on like you think you're with the action

I've got only one thing to say: come here darling, kiss me,

I'm gonna show you where the action is


You spend a little dollar and you spend a little dime

You get all funny and you laugh at your friends

And you think you're having a good time

You don't know nothing till you come around here and have some of mine

Then you'll start to understand about the two sides of the line

Come over here darling, lend me your ear, gonna educate you

Gonna tell you where the action is
