Biografia:
The Manhattan Transfer foi o resultado de muitos anos e muita persistência do cantor e fundador Tim Hauser (voz:baixo), cuja história remonta a um grupo de "doo-wop" chamado "Criterions" quando Tim ainda tinha 15 anos.
Posteriormente, Tim formou o primeiro Manhattan Transfer com cinco membros e gravou um obscuro disco. Essa primeira versão do grupo acabou em 1971.
The Manhattan Transfer, como o conhecemos, renasceu como quarteto com Janis Siegel (voz:Alto)

verse 1
Cmaj9 Fmaj9
The fool screams, 'no more!'
Cmaj9 Fmaj9
He grabs his shirt and hits the door
Cmaj9 Fmaj9
What she needs from him he ig nores.
Cmaj9 Fmaj9 Cmaj9 Fmaj9
It's a bore. Oh it's a bore. Oh it's a bore. Oh it's a bore.
(Oh it's a ...)
Abmaj7/Bb Ebmaj9
Blast the radi o.
Gbmaj7/Ab Dbmaj9
The hits just come and go.
Abmaj7/Bb Ebmaj9
black out what he knows that he has blown
G11
(That he has blown...)
verse 2
Cmaj9 Fmaj9
The night hangs it's head
Cmaj9 Fmaj9
As the fool crawls into bed.
Cmaj9 Fmaj9
Still his hungry heart begs to be fed
Cmaj9
All the words she once said
Fmaj9
(That she said. That she said. That she said.)
Abmaj9/Bb Ebmaj9
So then he grabs his Chevro let
Gmaj7/Ab Dbmaj9
In one more attempt to get away
Abmaj7/Bb Ebmaj9
But the thoughts of all the crimes of passion lay
G11
lay in his way.
chorus
Fmaj9 E7+9
He can shake the blues,
Am7 Gm7
But you know he still can get confused.
Fmaj9 G11
It seems like such a waste
Cmaj9
'Cause he can't shake her.
C11
Shake her
Chorus
Fmaj9 E7+9
He can shake his tail,
Am7 Gm7
But you know his moves are getting stale
Fmaj9 G11
He's on the make, but oh, his heart can't fake
Cmaj9
That he can't shake her.
G11
He can't shake her.
Cmaj9
No, he can't shake her.
Solo on verse and choruc
Romance falls like rain
But all the motives are insane
Everytime that he plays the game he feels the pain
(He feels the pain. Who is to blame? Who is to blame?)
He finds a joint that's jive
Guys are spinning girls like 45's.
All of the live bait sink for his lines they are so high
He knows he is beat
As his heart puts on the heat
Run from the street that don't even fit his feet
(Don't fit his feet. Now he can see. Now he can really see)
Tell him here's a telephone
He can beg to let the fool come home
He tells her that his life's a drag alone
(Can't be alone)
He can shake the blues,
But you know he still can get confused.
It seems like such a waste
'Cause he can't shake her.
He can shake his tail,
But you know his moves are getting stale
He's on the make, but oh, his heart can't fake
That he can't shake her.
He can't shake her.
No, he can't shake her
