Chris Merritt - The Palace Flophouse lyrics

William the bouncer felt rejected by all but a knife Horace was tired when he settled his debt with his life The two suicides adjacent the vacant lot A new pimp was hired, the shack emptied of its stock So mack went to try and bargain for a decent rent and steal some whiskey cause he hadn't seen any money for several years for several years he'd spent missing the mark You know that Doc, he's a stand up guy but don't he look a little lonely? You know we've got to show that Doc who he's loved by and even have a little party at his place Cannery Row Why would we go? It's gonna be alright It's gonna be alright Cannery Row Why would we go? It's gonna be alright It's gonna be alright The party was jumping, everybody was there making noise Alfred the bouncer sharing whiskey with Mack and the boys, mixing with the music The whole town was there The girls got the night off work With "Black Marigolds", the whole place just went berzerk It's gonna be a good night! A fight broke out from wall to wall and you could hear the shouts all over town and so the cops came down to join the party yeah the (they hadn't seen any money for several years, for several years) cops came down to join the party (they hadn't seen any money for several years) You know that Doc, he's a stand up guy but don't he look a little lonely? You know we've got to show that Doc who he's loved by and even have a little party at his place He saved the girls when they got the flu He even saved our little Darling You know we've got to show that Doc who he's loved by and even have a little party at his place Cannery Row Why would we go? It's gonna be alright It's gonna be alright Cannery Row Why would we go? It's gonna be alright It's gonna be alright
