You know that chick that used to dance a lot

C                    Bm                              Em

Ev'ry night she'd be on the floor shakin' what she'd got.

                     Am                               C

G                         Bm

And at that time over at Johnny's place,

C                             Eb

Well, this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face.

D             Em

Man! We just fell about the place.

            Am                     D7

If that chick don't wanna know, forget her!

The drink will flow and the blood will spill

           Am7                         D7

And if the boys wanna fight you better let 'em.





G                           Bm                           C

That jukebox in the corner blasting out my fav'rite song.

                        Eb                               D

The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long,

Won't be long till summer comes
