You gotta look sharp
And you gotta have no illusions
Tell me what they're wearing this year
Just keep going your way
Well ace, shut your face
Big shot, thanks a lot
That I got something going right here
Smoke my cigarettes and drink my beer
And you gotta have no illusions
Tell me how they run the crime down every street
Gotta go it's getting late
Okay, what you say
Just keep going your way
Looking over your shoulder
You gotta look sharp
Go on and get me in the corner
Thanks for putting me so straight
Tell me that this world is no place for the weak
Then you can look me in the eye
I got a date with my tailor now
You gotta look sharp
Go on and laugh at me cause you don't see
And you gotta have no illusions
Maybe you will see or hear
Looking over your shoulder
Say I'm just a dreamer, say I'm just a kid
And tell me if you see a trace of fear
But check your watch and wallet now
Before I go and you're too late
You gotta look sharp
You gotta look sharp
You gotta look sharp
Just keep going your way
