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 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! 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)
