Billy, he's down by the railroad tracks
   A               F#m              Bm        D
Sitting low in the back seat of his cadillac

Diamond Jackie she's so intact
       A        F#m      Bm        D
As she falls so softly beneath him

Jackie's heels are stacked
            F#m

                 Bm
Together they're gonna boogaloo down Broadway

And come back home with their loot
     Bm
It's midnight in Manhattan
