Dressed so fine and looking [Cm] so pretty
Cool guys looking for a [A] kitty

Your line wheezing like a bus stop
[Cm] Running up the stairs
Gonna [C] meet you on the rooftop
[Bb] But a night is a good world
[F] Go out [Bb] and find a girl
Don't come home and that's all night
Friday evening she all by
And [G] babe, don't you know it's a pretty [Dm] day

Walking on the sidewalk, [C] all the women matching
