she loves to dance he loves to show her off sticks her on his finger takes her dancing they swoop slide shimmer dance he kneels lays her across his knee arms drape the floor helpless lady dressed out thin white pink stars shimmer charcoal man fresh shined feet pinch creased legs Panama ridin’ low jaunty walk lickety clickety co’cola can boy whispers promises I’m gonna get me a hat and a lady like that some day a good step and don’ care too he feeds her oysters sliding sweet salty fingers past lips teasing smiling she nips at his fingers rowdy as a pup charcoal man leaves her feet propped on banquette licking oyster salt steps out to fresh air a cigar purple and pink skirts soft laughter at bayou cloud scudding moon lady dips her toes shines smile at him winsome he lifts her swings her over dangerous waters gonna make you ‘gator meat she giggles puts her on his knee smoothes sharp water on night cooling skin looses pink stars hot air tips them hard kisses pouty bottom lip night blooming jasmine flaunts blowsy on way to sea if I fell in would you save me from the ‘gators what do you think darlin’ buries mouth in dark cool neck think you can’t swim |
