Verse 1:
(Played choppy and often mute strings, by lifting fingers off the fretboard, in-between strumming.)
   BmI've been around this town for so long
   She's been dancing since the first C#mday
   I've been all around but
   I  Bmlove comin' back to see Lucy
Verse 2:
   She  Bmswings me over to pull me out
   Twirls around and I fall about
   In C#mgiggles and laughter
   Oh! I'm plastered
   BmCan't damn help it, I'm sorry love
Verse 3:
 Bm\
   What's to falling feeling feet?
 Bm\
   For bouncing a-round-a these streets
           C#m\                     Bm\
   They're lonely, like you and you for me
   To ask for a dance or two
Bridge:
   With a Bmheart of gold
   And a face so pale
   With a C#msecond-hand dress
   And the Bmlips of a temptress
Verse 4:
   BmBarstool banshee, howled out at me
   The kings and queens of the clubs, evolved from C#mpubs
   And too much broken heart love
   And Bmsingin' up the blues in a locked boxed bedroom
Pre-chorus:
     Bm\
   A-wop-bop-A-loo-bops, A-wop-bamboo
   Bm\
   Are ya gonna take the chance
   G\
   Why do ya care, know or play fair
       G-Bass                      F#-Bass
