Shirley Jean Songtext
Well I was sittin′ in a smokey room, band playin' rock and roll,
Everybody burnin′, yearnin' for some alcohol.
I got up to buy the wine, when I saw Shirley Jean,
Powdering her nose, posin' like a movie queen.
Shirley Jean, sweet little seventeen,
Shirley Jean, she′s a lovin′ machine.
I tried to give her a sign, but she was too high to see,
Sittin' and starin′, carin' not a thing for me.
Woo!
Sweet little Shirley Jean, sure lookin′ good to me,
Jet black stockings, rockin' to the bebop beat.
Tell by the way she was actin′, musta' had a whole lot to hide,
She's got a whole lotta lovin′, all bottled up inside.
Woo!
I ain′t goin to say a word, can't find a word to say,
You ain′t gonna get me, let me tell you right away.
I gave up and wandered out, when I saw the reason why,
Hugging little Shirley, a curly headed honey pie.
Shirley Jean, sweet little seventeen
Shirley Jean, sweet little lovin' machine, well
Shirley Jean, sweet little seventeen,
Shirley Jean, she′s a lovin' machine.
Well, Shirley Jean, sweet little seventeen,
Shirley Jean, she′s a lovin' machine.
Yeah, well, Shirley Jean!
Let me grease your machine!
Let me check your oil.
Woo!
Sure looks good to me!
Everybody burnin′, yearnin' for some alcohol.
I got up to buy the wine, when I saw Shirley Jean,
Powdering her nose, posin' like a movie queen.
Shirley Jean, sweet little seventeen,
Shirley Jean, she′s a lovin′ machine.
I tried to give her a sign, but she was too high to see,
Sittin' and starin′, carin' not a thing for me.
Woo!
Sweet little Shirley Jean, sure lookin′ good to me,
Jet black stockings, rockin' to the bebop beat.
Tell by the way she was actin′, musta' had a whole lot to hide,
She's got a whole lotta lovin′, all bottled up inside.
Woo!
I ain′t goin to say a word, can't find a word to say,
You ain′t gonna get me, let me tell you right away.
I gave up and wandered out, when I saw the reason why,
Hugging little Shirley, a curly headed honey pie.
Shirley Jean, sweet little seventeen
Shirley Jean, sweet little lovin' machine, well
Shirley Jean, sweet little seventeen,
Shirley Jean, she′s a lovin' machine.
Well, Shirley Jean, sweet little seventeen,
Shirley Jean, she′s a lovin' machine.
Yeah, well, Shirley Jean!
Let me grease your machine!
Let me check your oil.
Woo!
Sure looks good to me!
