Emperor's New Clothes
Richard Clapton
CHORUS:
Shakedown in Memphis Town,
Joan Jones is steppin' out,
Memphis City - freak out!
Hotel linen - we're party bound.
Shakedown in Memphis Town,
Five A.M. and not a soul around,
Joan checked in to the Belvedere Motel,
Red red eyes, and drunk as hell,
There's just one thing we don't understand,
Whatever happened to the emperor's pants;
CHORUS:
Shakedown in Memphis Town,
Joan Jones is steppin' out,
Memphis City - freak out!
Hotel linen - shake it out.
We welcome you to Tennessee,
Joan Jones the transvestite queen,
Come on down to the Admiral Hotel,
Hey Joan - you don't look well,
County sheriff said you're bad bad bad,
But you look cute dressed up in drag;
CHORUS:
Shakedown in Memphis Town,
Joan Jones is steppin' out,
Memphis City - freak out!
Hotel linen - shake it out
