[Dbm7/Gb] cats are crazy

[B5] They were asking
[Ebm7] if you were around

[Dbm7/Gb] crazy

VERSE 3:
[B5] You know the chick that
[Ebm7] used to dance a lot
[E] Every night she'd be
[Ab7sus4] on the floor shaking what she'd got
[Ebm7] Man when I tell ya,
[Ab7sus4] "she was cool, she was red hot"
[Dbm7] I mean she was
[Dbm7/Gb] steaming
VERSE 4:
[B5] That night over at
[Ebm7] Johnny's place

VERSE 5:
[B5] Friday night they'll be
[Ebm7] dressed to kill
[E] Down at dino's
[Ab7sus4] bar and grill
[Ebm7] The drink will flow and
[Ab7sus4] blood will spill
And if the
[Dbm7] boys want to fight, you'd better let them
VERSE 6:
[B5] That jukebox in the corner
[Ebm7] blasting out my favorite
[E] song
The nights are getting
[G] warmer, it won't be long
[Ebm7] It won't be long till
[Ab7sus4] summer comes
[Dbm7] Now that the boys are here again
