For What It’s Worth – The Hut Lounge

Something’s happening here

Buffalo Springfield on the jukebox
Linda Lane slayed us with her
intricate guitar work and
sensuous vocals

What it is ain’t exactly clear

Her band – Lady and the Tramps
George Hoka on his Hammond
mesmerizing sound like the Animals
voice soulful like Burdon’s

There’s a man with a gun over there

Ted and I compete for Janie’s
attention danced with me
danced with Ted but only
had eyes for George

Telling me I got to beware

She crushed on him
he used her as he would
and she kept going back
interest in me merely bemused

I think it’s time we stop

her dependable ride
wait outside
take her home
maybe see ya around

Children, what’s that sound

maybe next time we
can party wherever
Lady and the Tramps
is playing

Everybody look what’s going down
