Lyrics

Seedy Films

Sleazy city

Seedy films

Breathing so heavy

Next to my neighbour

Let's get acquainted

Getting to know you

Feeling sleazy

In seedy sin city

Feeling sleazy

In seedy sin city

Sleazy city

Sleepy people

Down in your alleys

Seems that anything goes

Blue films flicker

Hands of a stranger

Getting to know you

And I'm getting to like you

Hey that's fine

Got no time

Meet me on Friday

Down, down, down in blue city

Got no address

Just a telephone number

Phone me tonight

And maybe we can talk dirty

Phone me tonight

And maybe we can talk dirty

Sleazy city

Sleepy people

Down in your alleys

Seems that anything goes

Blue films flicker

Hands of a stranger

Getting to know you

And I'm getting to like you

Sleazy city

Sleepy people

Down your alleys

Seems that anything goes

Blue films flicker

Hands of a stranger

Getting to know you

Getting to like you

Sleazy city

Seedy films

Breathing so heavy

Next to my neighbour

Let's get acquainted

Getting to know you

Feeling sleazy

In sleepy sin city

Feeling sleazy

In sleepy sin city

Sleazy city

Sleepy people

Down in your alleys

Seems that anything goes

Blue films flicker

Hands of a stranger

Getting to know you

And I'm getting to like you

Hey, isn't that you on the screen?

Isn't that you on the screen?

(No that's not me)

Getting to know you

Getting to like you

Getting to know you

Getting to like you

Getting to know you

Getting to like you

Getting to know you

Getting to like you

Getting to know you

Getting to like you

Getting to know you

Getting to like you

Getting to know you

Getting to like you
