Oh E7Carol
don't let him steal your heart Baway
I'm F#7gonna learn to dance if it 
takes me all night and Bday
Well, come iBn to my machine, so we can cruse on out
I know a swingin' little joint where we can jump and shout
It's not too E7far back off the highway not so long a ride
You park your cBar out in the open, you can walk inside
A little cF#utie takes your hat and you can thank her ma'am
'cos ev'ry tBime you make the scene you find the joint is jammed
