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

  D    D#dim7  Em9    A7
Far, far away from the headline blues,
   D     D7    G    Bb7    A7
Down a secondary road that severely shows its age The forties comes to life

on a make-shift stage.

I saw mini vans from Boca, Buses from Perrine.

A lady dressed in purple started dancing all alone

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
A7
dancin' in the street.

They'd died and gone to heaven That lively little crowd
  D      D#dim7   Em9           A7
Trombones and saxophones Sent 'em through the clouds
  D           D7        G     Bb7    A7
It could have gone all night. But the party had to stop.When they blew the circuit breaker
A7
In the souvenir shop
