[Verse 1]
AHang up your jeans, put out your school clothes
Tune F#min for the top ten
AMonday morning's hours away
Say gooF#mdbye to the weekend
BmSlip between the Esheets
BmWith my brand new Efriend
[Chorus 1]
Doo Awah - sugar Ebaby love (Sugar baby love)
Another night F#malone, a manic Depisode
EUnderneath the covers with the lights out
Doo Awah - where did the Esad songs go? (Sugar baby love)
They've faded far too F#mlow inside my Dradio
EUnderneath the covers with the lights out
EUnderneath the covers with the lights out
[Verse 2]
AHells angels on TV
And your F#mbiker '73
ASew on patch - cycle chains
Iron F#mcross on your C&A's
BmCan't get in the Edisco
BmCan't dance anyEway
[Chorus 2]
Doo Awah - sugar Ebaby love (Sugar baby love)
Another night F#malone, a manic Depisode
EUnderneath the covers with the lights out
Doo Awah - where did the Esad songs go? (Sugar baby love)
The future's made of F#mcoal, the past is made of Dgold
EUnderneath the covers with the lights out
EUnderneath the covers with the lights out
[Interlude]
F#mNa na na na Bmna na na na na
F#mNa na na na Bno no no no-ah
[Verse 3]
ACome on baby do the jukebox jive
Rock and F#mroll will never die
ACan't dance, you look like a freak
But at lF#meast you're still alive
BmYou developed Elate
BmWeren't the nineties Egreat?
[Chorus 3]
Doo Awah - sugar Ebaby love (Sugar baby love)
Another night F#malone, a manic Depisode
EUnderneath the covers with the lights out
Doo Awah - where did the Esad songs go? (Sugar baby love)
They've faded far too F#mlow inside my Dradio

EUnderneath the covers with the lights out
EUnderneath the covers with the lights out
