I was sitting outside one night, and... A D A The moon hung like a shadow on a rung over Shanghai F#m E Them soldier boys were returning home screaming 'Banzai' A And the kids are still playing their game A F#m Getting hustled and rustled out in the rain Bm A E As I sat inside listening to the broadcast A E A Oh, save my soul, sweet rock and roll, 'cause I'm sinkin' fast
And then the band played

A D A Now the legendary chaplain of the fighting 51st was getting ready to go F#m E I said, 'Padre, do you know a cheap virgin who likes to tango?' A F#m He said, 'You can try Linda Lee', around the corner and across the sea Bm A E Word is out, word is out she's fast A E A Well, blow me down now, Linda, 'cause I'm sinkin' fast F#m E Yes, and them cats are sure getting fat down in the train yard Bm A And the sandman brings them dreams to ship out in the boxcars Bm F#m The union says, 'Hold.' Break out the dice, break out the gold D E It's lunchtime at last A E And old big Mama said, 'George Raft's tonight on the late show' D E She sits straddling a kitchen chair, really gung-ho F#m Bm She shivers with chills, wet with slot car thrills A E Hypnotically lost in the glass G E And we all sigh with the sunrise E As we watch the credits pass A D A And then the morning cloak fell down like a hoax over Sleepy Town F#m E And garbage truck vigilantes out making the last rounds Bm F#m The inheritor he sipped his beer and poked cute fun of the queer D E And threatened to kick his ass One, two, three, ow!
And the band played out on the radio, it was alright

It's on the radio and he listened to the bass man (Clarence's Bass Vocal) A E And the boys in the band sang (Whoa whoa whoa wo-ho) A F#m That's right (Whoa whoa whoa wo-ho) A E I'm so excited (Whoa whoa whoa wo-ho) A F#m Everybody (Whoa whoa whoa wo-ho) A E And the band played (Whoa whoa whoa wo-ho) A F#m Everybody (Whoa whoa whoa wo-whoa)
