Lyrics:

You’re tellin’ me this town ain’t got no heart
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
The sunny side of the street is dark
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
Maybe that’s ’cause it’s midnight
In the dark of the moon besides
Maybe the dark is from your eyes
(Maybe the dark is from your eyes)
Maybe the dark is from your eyes
(Maybe the dark if from your eyes)
Maybe the dark is from your eyes
(Maybe the dark is from your eyes)
You know you got such dark eyes

Nothin’ shakin’ on Shakedown Street
Used to be the heart of town
Don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart
You just gotta poke around

You think you’ve seen this town clear through
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
Nothin’ here that could interest you
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
It’s not because you missed out
On the thing that we had, to start
Maybe you had too much too fast
(Maybe you had too much too fast)
Maybe you had too much too fast
(Maybe you had too much too fast)
Maybe you had too much too fast
(Maybe you had too much too fast)
And just overplayed your part

Nothin’ shakin’ on Shakedown Street
Used to be the heart of town
Don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart
You just gotta poke around

Since I’m passing your way today
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
I just stopped in ’cause I want to say
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
I recall your darkness
When it crackled like a thundercloud
Don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart
(Don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart)
Don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart
(Don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart)
Don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart
(Don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart)
When I can hear it beat out loud

Nothin’ shakin’ on Shakedown Street
Used to be the heart of town
Don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart
You just gotta poke around

Nothin’ shakin’ on Shakedown Street
Used to be the heart of town
Don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart
You just gotta poke around

Nothin’ shakin’ on Shakedown Street
Used to be the heart of town
Don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart
You just gotta poke around

Nothin’ shakin’ on Shakedown Street
Used to be the heart of town
Don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart
