Look Sharp - Joe Jackson

Big shot, tell you what 
Tell me what goes on around here 
Go on and get me in the corner 
Smoke my cigarettes and drink my beer 
Tell me that this world is no place for the weak 
Then you can look me in the eye 
And tell me if you see a trace of fear 

You gotta look sharp 
You gotta look sharp 
And you gotta have no illusions 
Just keep going your way looking over your shoulder 

Okay, what you say 
Tell me what they're wearing this year 
Go on and laugh at me cause you don't see 
That I got something going right here 
Say I'm just a dreamer 
Say I'm just a kid 
Well ace, shut your face 
Maybe you will see or hear 

You gotta look sharp 
You gotta look sharp 
And you gotta have no illusions 
Just keep going your way looking over your shoulder 



(Instrumental Break)



Big shot, thanks a lot 
Gotta go it's getting late 
I got a date with my tailor now 
Thanks for putting me so straight 
Tell me how they run the crime down every street 
(La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la...)
But check your watch and wallet now 
Before I go and you're too late
(Uh, huh-huh)

You gotta look sharp 
You gotta look sharp 
And you gotta have no illusions 
Just keep going your way looking over your shoulder

Yeah.
