Sun's going down like a big bald head
Disappearing behind the boulevard
(Oooee.) It's Sharkey's night, yeah, it's Sharkey's night tonight
And the manager says, "Sharkey?
He's not at his desk right now. (oh yeah.) Could I take a message?"

And Sharkey says, "Hey, kemosabe! Long time no see"
He says, "Hey sport. You connect the dots. You pick up the pieces"
He says, "You know, I can see two tiny pictures of myself and there's one in each of your eyes. And they're doin' everything I do
Every time I light a cigarette, they light up theirs
I take a drink and I look in and they're drinkin' too
It's drivin' me crazy. It's drivin' me nuts."

And Sharkey says, "Deep in the heart of darkest America, home of the brave."
He says: "Listen to my heart beat."
Paging Mr. Sharkey, white courtesy telephone please
