Graham Parker & the Rumour

The Rumour was an English rock band in the late 1970s and early 1980s. They are best known as the backup band for Graham Parker, whose early records (from 1976 to 1980) were credited to Graham Parker & The Rumour. However, The Rumour also recorded on their own, releasing three albums: Max (1977), Frogs, Sprouts, Clogs and Krauts (1979), and Purity of Essence (1980). The group broke up at the end of 1980, but reunited as Parker's backing band in 2011, and have performed and recorded with Parker ever since. The band undertook a short final UK tour in October 2015, finishing with a final concert at the London Forum on 17 October 2015. At this show, the surviving members of the horn section also reunited, for the first time in 33 years. more »

 G A D
they just keep herding through that gate
 
CHORUS

And do the New York shuffle, baby New York scuffle, 
G D
Going to stay awake all night 
 D A 
Do the New York shuffle, baby New York scuffle, 
G A D D A D
Get yourself uptight, get uptight
 
Stick around kids you're going to see some action 
better shoot them in the street
Grab a gun before the police come, 
Don't tell me you're too sweet
Down in the alley they are hitting harder 
Not as blown as a ball can be
They're burnin flags here and just in drag here
It sure is a sight to see
 
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE

Mister Mayor give the key, let me lock you up

Throw that key down the deepest subway in New York, New York
