[Verse 1]
F#                 C#
   Make me a deal, and make it straight,
C#
   All signed and sealed, I'll take it...
F#
 ...To Robert E. Lee, I'll show it,
C#
   I hope and pray he don't blow it, 'cause...
 B
 ...We've been around a long time,
    G#
Just trying to ...trying to, trying to...
C#
 ...Make the big time!


[Verse 2]
F#
   Take me on a roller-coaster,
C#
   Take me for an airplane ride,
F#
   Take me for a six-day wonder, but don't you...
C#
 ...Don't you throw my pride aside, besides...
 B
   What's real, and make believe?
 G#           C#
Baby Jane's in Acapulco, we are flying down to Rio!

[Verse 3]
F#                 C#
   Throw me a line, I'm sinking fast,
C#
   Clutching at straws, ...can't make it,
F#
   Havana sound we're trying,
C#
   A hard edge, the hipster jiving,
   B
Oh - oh, 'Last picture show's down the drive-in,
 G#
You're so sheer, you're so chic,
 C#
'Teenage rebel of the week'!


[Verse 4]
F#
   Flavours of the mountain streamline,
C#
   Midnight blue casino floors,
F#
   Dance the cha-cha through 'til sunrise,
C#
   Opens up exclusive doors, oh - wow,
B
   Just like flamingoes look the same,
  G#
So me and you, just we two,
   C#
  Got to search for some -thing new!

[Verse 5]
F#
   Far beyond the pale horizon,
C#
   Some place near the desert strand,
F#
   A-where my Studebaker takes me,
C#
   That's where I'll make my stand, but wait...
B
   Can't you see that Holtzer mane?
 G#
