Uh,huh Uh,huh She was looking at me.
F#m         B        A            B   E
Now you know that i ain't no dancer, but there's gotta be a way to meet her

Back to intro lick x2

Verse 2 and 3 are played just the same as verse 1 :

Verse 2:
Well I know I was looking cool, pretty sharp like a razor razor
Uh,huh Uh,Huh She was smiling at me

So I said if you got the notion, we could take a little trip to the ocean
She said that'll be OK
Cause I'm hot to trot.

Lick 1 x2
Lick 2 x2
Back to intro lick x2

Verse 3:
We were having a ball by the water, talking about life and philosophizing
Uh,huh Uh,huh She was really talking to me

She said I can't understand why you got to hustle
Struttin' and posin' and flexin' muscle
So I said, well that's easy baby I'm hot to trot

Lick 1 x2
