E A
Well I was sittin' in a smokey room, band playin' rock and roll,
F#m B E
Everybody burnin', yearnin' for some alcohol.
E A
I got up to buy the wine, when I saw Shirley Jean,
F#m B A
Powdering her nose, posin' like a movie queen. E|-----------|

Shirley Jean, sweet little seventeen,

Shirley Jean, she's a lovin' machine.
E A
I tried to give her a sign, but she was too high to see,
F#m B E
Sittin' and starin', carin' not a thing for me.
Woo!
E A
Sweet little Shirley Jean, sure lookin' good to me,
F#m B A
Jet black stockings, rockin' to the bebop beat.
A
Tell by the way she was actin', musta' had a whole lot to hide,
B
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,
F#m B E
You ain't gonna get me, let me tell you right away.

I gave up and wandered out, when I saw the reason why,
F#m B A
Hugging little Shirley, a curly headed honey pie.

Shirley Jean, sweet little seventeen

Shirley Jean, sweet little lovin' machine, well

Let me grease your machine!
Let me check your oil.

Sure looks good to me!
