Jump around the room and sing

F               C            Dm
Singin’ at the top of their lungs
F                              Bb      F
  Till the neighbors from all sides complained
       Bb         C      F
To the cops who’d never come

In that Polk Street SRO
F F Bb F
F
  When the sun went down
      Bb           F
They crushed some ice
         Bb         C
Ordered Chinese to go
Bb                         F
   And turned that stereo again real loud
F               C            Dm
Singing at the top of their lungs
F                              Bb          F
   Till the neighbors got the broomsticks out

Called the cops who’d never come

Love me like I wanna be loved

Willie, you have no idea
