Meet the boys for a couple of drinks

Shoot pool and talk about girls

And nothing ever happens round here

Nothing ever happens round here

One day in a local bar
C G D G
She heard a movie man was looking for a star

Got the call to come on down

Every heart went boom, boom, boom, ('Who's that girl?')

No doubt that she was the best

The camera fell in love with her

Before she knew it she was on the way

To make that dream come true

And her boyfriend all alone

Shoot pool and talk about girls

And nothing ever happens round here
