Well, You've heard about the alligators sleepin' in the shade

Far, far away from the headline blues,
      D          D7        G        Bb7       A7

I saw mini vans from Boca, Buses from Perrine.

A lady dressed in purple started dancing all alone
    D      D#dim7            Em9            A7
Then she sauntered oh so gently to the vacant microphone.
      D       D7          G            Bb7              A7
She sounded like she's someone and never missed a beat. By the time the number ended they were

dancin' in the street.

It could have gone all night. But the party had to stop.When they blew the circuit breaker
A7
In the souvenir shop
