ooohooooh
Am Em
its a cold night , beneath the street light , theres a man whose pants are too tight .
Dm E7
oh no , his pants are too tight .

my pants are too tight .
Am Em
he stands there , and empty stare , trying to make enough money for his cab fare home .
Dm E7
he’ll have to walk home tonight .

don’t have enough for the ride .
Am Em
the streets are cruel , he tries to act cool , he goes to work with only his work tool .
Dm E7
you can put away your tool , jermaine .
