A new [G] sensation, a fabulous creation, a danceable solution to teenage revolution.
[Bb]
Do [F] the scramble, [G]
when [F] you feel love, [G]
it's [D] the new way, [Dm]
[C] that's why we say, [Bm]
do [E] the scramble.
In [G] the tables, [Eb]
quacking face [G] on maple, [Gm]
slow [F] and gentle,
[D] [F] sentimental,
[A] all [D] styles serve here.
[Dm] Do the [C]
[D] [E] scramble, do [G] the scramble, do the scramble.
Dance
[Bb] [F] on moonbeams,
[G] slide [F] on rainbows,
[D] in furs or blue jeans, [Dm] you know [C] what I mean,
[D] do [E] the scramble.

[D] your [G] fill of quadrilles, the Madison and Chiefs rilles, bored with the big game, the Sambas and your [Gm] scene.
We're playing [F] our tune, [G]
by [F] the pale moon, [Eb] we're [D] incomplete, [Dm]
down [C] the lead hole, [D] and we like [E] strands.
Irish [G] at the oasis, Eskimos and Chinese,
[Bb] if [F] you feel blue,
[C] look [F] through who's who,
[A] see [D] like Hulu, [Dm]
and [C] Nijinsky,
[D] [E] Kutuzov, Stransky, weary [G] of the walls, mashed potato schmalls.
[Bb] [F] Rotterdam rum,
[D] [F] it's a nice flower,
[Eb] [D] evergreen is, [Dm] the last [C] forever, [D] but it can't [E] beat the Scram power.
Skinks and [G] Mona Lisa, Lolita and Ganyga, do the scramble.
