I was sitting outside one night, and... 

A                        D                       A 
The moon hung like a shadow on a rung over Shanghai 
F#m                                                 E 
Them soldier boys were returning home screaming "Banzai" 
A                                      
And the kids are still playing their game 
A                                        F#m 
Getting hustled and rustled out in the rain 
           Bm              A           E   
As I sat inside listening to the broadcast 
A                        E                       A 
Oh, save my soul, sweet rock and roll, 'cause I'm sinkin' fast

And then the band played

A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Out of nowhere and it was alright

A                           D                                A 
Now the legendary chaplain of the fighting 51st was getting ready to go 
F#m                                                   E 
I said, "Padre, do you know a cheap virgin who likes to tango?" 
A                                                              F#m 
He said, "You can try Linda Lee", around the corner and across the sea 
        Bm          A            E 
Word is out, word is out she's fast 
A                      E                     A 
Well, blow me down now, Linda, 'cause I'm sinkin' fast 
  

F#m                                                       E 
Yes, and them cats are sure getting fat down in the train yard 
Bm                                                  A 
And the sandman brings them dreams to ship out in the boxcars 
Bm                                      F#m 
The union says, "Hold." Break out the dice, break out the gold 
D                   E 
It's lunchtime at last 

      A                                                  E 
And old big Mama said, "George Raft's tonight on the late show" 
D                                              E 
She sits straddling a kitchen chair, really gung-ho 
F#m                                   Bm 
She shivers with chills, wet with slot car thrills 
A                        E 
Hypnotically lost in the glass 
            G                    E 
And we all sigh with the sunrise 
E 
As we watch the credits pass 

A                        D                       A 
And then the morning cloak fell down like a hoax over Sleepy Town 
F#m                                            E 
And garbage truck vigilantes out making the last rounds 
Bm                                                  F#m 
The inheritor he sipped his beer and poked cute fun of the queer 
D                          E 
And threatened to kick his ass 

One, two, three, ow!

It's on the radio and he listened to the bass man 

(Clarence's Bass Vocal) 
                                 A                E 
And the boys in the band sang (Whoa whoa whoa wo-ho) 
 A                             F#m 
That's right (Whoa whoa whoa wo-ho) 
A                              E 
I'm so excited (Whoa whoa whoa wo-ho) 
A                          F#m 
Everybody (Whoa whoa whoa wo-ho) 
A                           E

A                              F#m 
Everybody (Whoa whoa whoa wo-whoa)
