This explosive combo is a concentration of good spirit and musicality with lots of live action. Step in the ring with the Dirty Honkers and be prepared to be knocked out by their home-made joysticks, game controllers, sax attack and high voltage show.
Club Cats
Dirty Honkers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They stomp and clap, and jump and jive
Tonight′s the night they're gonna take the town
There′s a new sensation on the rise
Broadway meets a coffee lounge
Jazzy cat makes modern sound
Mixed with vintage slappy beats
Hear the sound of the tom cat's snare
Saxophone has quite a flare
Little boy blue go on and blow your horn!
Well the stage is set, the time is right
To shimmy sham all through the night
Hear the sound of the brass band blare
Music rising in the air
Broadway meets a coffee lounge
Jazzy cat makes modern sound
Mixed with vintage slappy beats
Get up! Get on your feet!
Hear the sound of the tom cat's snare
Saxophone has quite a flare
Little boy blue go on and blow your horn!
Horny saxophony got you moaning like a lonely kitty.
What′s a pretty pussy like you, doing in this dirty city?
You look so smooth like cream let the music move you.
Whatever gets you loose baby, I′m just trying to sooth you.
Ooh, you do look to good to be true, wondering
What a street cat got to do to get with you.
I got us some catnip and a cozy spot for two.
So come here, purr in my ear, prrrr.
