“Tight Squeeze”
Heard about a risk taker put all his money on a game
In a smoky pool hall in East Liberty, PA
Winning ball was trapped between the 13 the 10
But he slid it down with some wicked spin
Man across table said I don’t believe what I see
What’s the name of that shot?
Tight squeeze
Heard about a girl went to see the Rolling Stones
In a big arena far away from home
She was pressing on stranger up against the door
When it finally opened they fell down on the floor
Their legs were intertwined they were cheek to cheek
She said explain this thing
Tight squeeze
Tighter than two lovers in the back seat of a car
Tighter than the pockets of a hustler in a bar
Tighter than a drunk walking on his knees
This place well they call it tight squeeze

Heard about a man two appointments in 1 night
1 was with his lover and 1 was with his wife
Tried to keep it straight which one he was with
But he switched their names in the middle of a kiss
Looked over a the referee
What’s the name of my predicament?
Tight squeeze
Tighter than two lovers in the back seat of a car
Tighter than the pockets of a hustler in a bar
Tighter than a drunk walking on his knees
This place well they call it tight squeeze
