Frankie was a dancer in a downtown bar
Her every shake and shimmy was a work of art
And I ain't never met a drop of gin was any competition
For the way that she could leave ya in a serious condition
I never minded walking, no it ain't that far
But I'd let Frankie drive me round the bend inside her big black car
She'd say "Hop inside my Phoenix, baby, let's get outta Dodge"
And I was never shy of gambling, no matter what the odds
[Chorus]
Now every barroom is a ballroom
Every truck stop serves a banquet
Evеry two-bit, flea-bit, roadside bedsit
It could bе the Ritz
Now that Frankie is my baby and my baby's by my side
And the only thing we gotta do is point that car and drive
Working in a greasetrap on a sideways street
Frying eggs and making coffee was my area of expertise
I gotta leave this stinking job behind and no-one here can stop me
Been smoking on a pipe dream, got plans to strike it lucky
[Chorus]
Now every barroom is a ballroom
Every truck stop serves a banquet
Every two-bit, flea-bit, roadside bedsit
It could be the Ritz
Now that Frankie is my baby and my baby's by my side
And the only thing we gotta do is point that car and drive
Now that Frankie is my baby and my baby's by my side
And the only thing we gotta do is point that car and drive
