Crescent Heights
Jude Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I do the Crescent Heights shuffle to my baby's house.
I do the Crescent Heights shuffle to my baby's house.
I slip the key under the door I'm like a laboratory mouse.
I do the Crescent Heights shuffle to my baby's house.
No need to tussle, no need to fussle.
I do the Crescent Heights shuffle.

I got a gal that lives real close.
You know, I got a gal that lives real close.
And that's the best thing in the world, like french toast.
Once you get a slice, it's nicer than the whole loaf.
No need to tussle, No need to fussle.
I do the Crescent Heights Shuffle.

Late at night,A man desires a woman white, black, tan,
But the fires are flamed by
The names and traces and the places and the faces
But it's all the same in the morning game.
I got no need to tussle, I got no need to fussle.

I do the Crescent Heights shuffle to my baby's house.
I do the Crescent Heights shuffle to my baby's house.
I slip the key under the door I'm like a laboratory mouse.
I do the Crescent Heights shuffle to my baby's...
No need to tussle, no need to fussle.
I do the Crescent Heights shuffle.
