Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

~~~~~~

This is a story 'bout a girl that I knew

she didn't like my songs

and that made me feel blue

she said: "a big band is far better than you"...

Part I:

~~~~~~~

She don't rock 'n' roll, she don't like it

she don't do the stroll, well she don't do it right

well, ev'rythings wrong and my patience was gone

when I woke one morning

and remembered this song

O-oh-oh, kinda catchy,

I hoped

that she would talk to me now

and even allow me to hold her hand

and forget that old band.

Part II:

~~~~~~~~

I strolled around to her pad

her light was off and that's bad

her sister said that my girl was gone

"But come inside, boy, and play, play, play me a song!"

Additional Lyrics:

(w/PART I)

I said "Yeah! Here I go"

She's kinda cute, don't you know?

That after a while of seeing her smile

I knew we could make it, make it in style!

(w/PART II)

So now I've got all I need

She and I are in love, we've agreed

she likes this song and my others too

so now you see my world is...

because of this tune!

(w/PART I)

What a boon this tune!

I tell you soon

We'll be lying in bed, happily wed,

and I won't think of that girl

or what she said...
