Lila McCann - Yippy Ki Yai
[Verse 1]
GHey pretty boy what's cha pulling on me,
CThink you've got it all wrapped uDp,
GLying in the shade of a Sycamore tree,
CSorry but it juDst ain't enGough,
GYou've got to do better then talk the big talk,
COccasionally couresty cDall,
[Verse 2]
GI ain't seen roses and I ain't see a thDing,
What's lCove got to do with it aGll,
If you wCant to steal a kiss, 
Then you've got to steal a piece of hDeart,
CYou're a pretty little boy But a stumbling fool, 
If you're goDing for a tumble in the dark,
[Chorus]
CMy Oh MDy HaGve you got a lot to leEm7arn,
You've got to wArap me up in roA7mance,
GBefore you crash and burn,
And ICf you never cDall me to bAmlow my heart aEm7way,
Yippy Ki Yai,  
YiGppie, yippie, yippie Ki Yai Yippie, yippie, yippie ki Doh,
Wo, if you want to daGnce to the rhythm of a country girl,
BCoy, you've fot a loDng way to Ggo,
[Verse 3]
GWould it hurt so much to open my door  SCend me flowers tDoo
GCause I believe in the love like the good book says,
Not the gosCpel accDording to Gyou,
GYou can't two step around step number one,
And then sCkip down to three or four,
GYou can't touch me with a ten foot pDole,
CTil you back oDff a little bit mGore,
[Chorus]
CMy Oh MDy HaGve you got a lot to leEm7arn,
You've got to wArap me up in roA7mance,
GBefore you crash and burn,
And ICf you never cDall me to bAmlow my heart aEm7way,
Yippy Ki Yai,  
YiGppie, yippie, yippie Ki Yai Yippie, yippie, yippie Ki Doh,
Wo, if you want to daGnce to the rhythm of a country girl,
BCoy, you've fot a loDng way to Ggo,
[Bridge]
EmI know what you want and there are times I want it too,
But I'm looDking for a gentlemen who know just what to do,
I can tEmake the boots and jeans and even your beat up cadillac,
But when it coDmes to what a woman needs you ain't no Cary Grant,
EndingYippy Ki Yai,  
YiGppie, yippie, yippie Ki Yai Yippie, yippie, yippie Ki Doh,
Wo, if you want to daGnce to the rhythm of a country girl,
BCoy, you've fot a loDng way to Ggo,

Lila McCann - Yippy Ki Yai

[Verse 1]

Hey pretty boy what's cha pulling on me,

C D

Think you've got it all wrapped up,

Lying in the shade of a Sycamore tree,

C D G

Sorry but it just ain't enough,

You've got to do better then talk the big talk,

C D

Occasionally couresty call,

[Verse 2]

G D

I ain't seen roses and I ain't see a thing,

C G

What's love got to do with it all,

If you want to steal a kiss,

Then you've got to steal a piece of heart,

You're a pretty little boy But a stumbling fool,

If you're going for a tumble in the dark,

[Chorus]

C D G Em7

My Oh My Have you got a lot to learn,

A A7

You've got to wrap me up in romance,

Before you crash and burn,

C D Am Em7

And If you never call me to blow my heart away,

Yippy Ki Yai,

G D

Yippie, yippie, yippie Ki Yai Yippie, yippie, yippie ki oh,

Wo, if you want to dance to the rhythm of a country girl,

C D G

Boy, you've fot a long way to go,

[Verse 3]

G C D

Would it hurt so much to open my door Send me flowers too

Cause I believe in the love like the good book says,

C D G

Not the gospel according to you,

You can't two step around step number one,

And then skip down to three or four,

G D

You can't touch me with a ten foot pole,

C D G

Til you back off a little bit more,

[Chorus]

C D G Em7

My Oh My Have you got a lot to learn,

A A7

You've got to wrap me up in romance,

Before you crash and burn,

C D Am Em7

And If you never call me to blow my heart away,

Yippy Ki Yai,

G D

Yippie, yippie, yippie Ki Yai Yippie, yippie, yippie Ki oh,

Wo, if you want to dance to the rhythm of a country girl,

C D G

Boy, you've fot a long way to go,

[Bridge]

I know what you want and there are times I want it too,

But I'm looking for a gentlemen who know just what to do,

I can take the boots and jeans and even your beat up cadillac,

But when it comes to what a woman needs you ain't no Cary Grant,

Ending

Yippy Ki Yai,

G D

Yippie, yippie, yippie Ki Yai Yippie, yippie, yippie Ki oh,

Wo, if you want to dance to the rhythm of a country girl,

C D G

Boy, you've fot a long way to go,
