Keep on Doing what you do / Jerks on the Loose
Nobody around here knows what happened to you
No one will ask you to explain
You have your arm around a drastic measure
All of your efforts down the drain
No one will ask you to explain
You have your arm around a drastic measure
All of your efforts down the drain
There might be something here you could get into
Or just be quiet by yourself
oooooooo. . .
Stare at the stuff up on the shelf
Or just be quiet by yourself
oooooooo. . .
Stare at the stuff up on the shelf
You work too hard to take this abuse
Be on your guard jerks on the loose
Be on your guard jerks on the loose
Look who did it to you
Joker over there with nothing to do
Don't let 'm get through
Keep on Doing what you do
Joker over there with nothing to do
Don't let 'm get through
Keep on Doing what you do
Why don't you listen to my little pep talk
Instead of what that person said
And now I'm gonna open up the window
And you will come in off that ledge
Instead of what that person said
And now I'm gonna open up the window
And you will come in off that ledge
You work too hard to take this abuse
Be on your guard jerks on the loose
Jerks on the loose
Jerks on the loose
Be on your guard jerks on the loose
Jerks on the loose
Jerks on the loose
(Terre and Suzzy Roche, 1982)
