[G5] You know the chick that

[C] Every night she'd be
[E7sus4] on the floor shaking what she'd got

[E7sus4] "she was cool, she was red hot"
[Am7] I mean she was
[Am7/D] steaming

[G5] That night over at

VERSE 5:
[G5] Friday night they'll be
[Bm7] dressed to kill
[C] Down at dino's
[E7sus4] bar and grill
[Bm7] The drink will flow and

And if the
[Am7] boys want to fight, you'd better let them
VERSE 6:
[G5] That jukebox in the corner
[Bm7] blasting out my favorite

The nights are getting

[Bm7] It won't be long till
[E7sus4] summer comes
[Am7] Now that the boys are here again
