Tonight the joint is fully wound with budget desperadoes B-movie wannabees with nothing left but time and The air is thick with martini-fueled bravado and Long-legged women with heartbreak on their minds... So you slide up to the bar when here comes a looker A beauty with a broken smile who just might be the one... The kind of girl that's seen it all and lived to talk about it And there in lies the problem About how to get this done... (chorus) Everybody wants to walk the cool way Everybody wants to make the perfect move And at times like this we all should consider What would Frank do... What would Frank do... She's slowly nursing on a Seven & Seven Nonchalantly lets you light her cigarette And the way that she's sitting You can almost see to heaven You gotta get this right or that might be all you get... (chorus 2) Everybody wants to walk the cool way Everybody wants to make the perfect move And at times like these we all should consider What would Frank do... What would Frank do... When it's coming down to closing time What would Frank do... (bridge) And you saw him at the garden, Know the words to all the tunes Saw every single movie six or seven times But you we're all mere mortals He left howling at the moon In the wee, wee hours of the night... (chorus) Everybody wants to walk the cool way Everybody wants to make the perfect move And at times like this we all should consider What would Frank do... What would Frank do... When it's coming down to closing time What would Frank do... to fade
