My Mama don’t like it, the way I comb my hair,

Papa thinks I’m crazy, in the clothes I wear.
                 G+G                         C majorC
They took all my records but I play it all day..
  G+G                    D MajorD                         G+G
I am what I am and I’m gonna keep a rockin’ that way.

      G+G
I’m a rockabilly rebel from head to toe.

                                                    D MajorD
When the school is over, they put their cat clothes on,
