Verse 1:

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

 
   I've been around this town for so long
                                      
   She's been dancing since the first day

   I've been all around but
    
   I  love comin' back to see Lucy


Verse 2:

      
   She  swings me over to pull me out

   Twirls around and I fall about
      
   In giggles and laughter

   Oh! I'm plastered
   
   Can't damn help it, I'm sorry love


Verse 3:

    What's to falling feeling feet?
    For bouncing a-round-a these streets
           \                        They're lonely, like you and you for me

   To ask for a dance or two


Bridge:

          
   With a heart of gold

   And a face so pale
          
   With a second-hand dress
           
   And the lips of a temptress


Verse 4:

   
   Barstool banshee, howled out at me
                                                   
   The kings and queens of the clubs, evolved from pubs

   And too much broken heart love
       
   And singin' up the blues in a locked boxed bedroom


Pre-chorus:

        -wop-bop--loo-bops, -wop-bamboo
      Are ya gonna take the chance
      Why do ya care, know or play fair
       -Bass                      -Bass
   And neither do the lords of the dance

Verse 5:

                  Well it's a bang-bang, Anglo Saxons at the disco
     
   A-tisch-oo! All fall down
              
   Hound dogs growl on the prowl

   For the next young gal
       
   Who told her daddy "I'm goin' 'round Gemma's to...


Verse 6:

         ...learn and study.
                              
   I'm young, so free and I'm kinda sexy
                                 
   When I'm on the floor all the boys they feel me
                        -Bass                  -Bass
   And old dear diary's never been a friend of mine
