D7 C7
When evenin’ rolls around and it’s time to go to town

where do you go to rock and roll
the old folks say that you gotta end your day by ten
if you’re out on a date and you bring it home late, it’s a sin
there just ain’t no excuse and you know you’re gonna lose and never win
I’ll say it again, (spoken)And it’s all because …… (repeat verse 1
then bridge)
Bb-C* Bb-C*
you pull into a drive-in and find as place to park
Bb-C* Bb-C*
you hop into the back seat where you know it’s nice and dark.
Bb-C* Bb-C*
you’re just about to move in, you’re thinkin’ it’s a breeze
Bb-C* Bb-C*
there’s a light in your eye and then a guy says
(spoken) «Out of the car, long hair»
