[Ab] [Cm] that chick that used to [Db] dance a lot
Every [Cm] night she'd be on the floor shaking while she'd got
Man, when I told you she was cool, [Db] she was red hot
I mean she was steaming
[Ab] And [Cm] that time over at Johnny's [Db] place

The drink [Fm] will flow and blood will [Db] spill
If the boys want to [Bbm] fight, you better let them
[Ab] Let you [Cm] box in the corner blabbing out [Db] my favorite song
Good [Dbm] night to get warm or it [Eb] won't be long
[Fm] Won't be long till summer [Db] comes
