Verse 1: (Played choppy and often mute strings, by lifting fingers off the fretboard, in-between strumming.)

 Bm
   I've been around this town for so long

                                      C#m
   She's been dancing since the first day

I've been all around but

    Bm
   I  love comin' back to see Lucy

Verse 2:

      Bm
   She  swings me over to pull me out

Twirls around and I fall about

      C#m
   In giggles and laughter

Oh! I'm plastered

   Bm
   Can'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:

          Bm
   With a heart of gold

And a face so pale

          C#m
   With a second-hand dress

           Bm
   And the lips of a temptress

Verse 4:

   Bm
   Barstool banshee, howled out at me

                                                   C#m
   The kings and queens of the clubs, evolved from pubs

And too much broken heart love

       Bm
   And singin' 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
   And neither do the lords of the dance

   Well it's a bang-bang, Anglo Saxons at the disco

     Bm
   A-tisch-oo! All fall down

              C#m
   Hound dogs growl on the prowl

For the next young gal

       Bm
   Who told her daddy "I'm goin' 'round Gemma's to...

Verse 6:

      Bm\
   ...learn and study.

                              Bm
   I'm young, so free and I'm kinda sexy

                                 C#m
   When I'm on the floor all the boys they feel me

                        G-Bass                  F#-Bass
   And old dear diary's never been a friend of mine
