You know that [Cm] chick that used to dance a [Db] lot
Every night [Cm] she'd be on the floor shaking what she got
Man, when [Fm] I tell you she was cool, she was red [Db] hot
I mean she was steaming
[Ab] And that [Cm] time over at Johnny's [Db] place
Well, this chick [Dbm] got up and she slapped Johnny's [Cm] face
Man, [Fm] we just fell about the place

[Db] Down at [Cm] Dino's [F] bar and grill
[Cm] The drink will [Fm] flow and blood will spill
[Db] And if the boys want to fight, you better let them
[Ab] Left you boxed in [Cm] the corner blasting out my [Db] favorite song
Good night to [Dbm] get warm, but it won't [Eb] be long
Won't be [Fm] long till summer [Db] comes
