Verse 1
I (B flat major) was (C major) a small town boy
in South Mississippi,
and I (G major) didn't get around too much.
But I tried to get in my sheriff's tent,
I (C major) wasn't that out of touch.
(G major) Well (C major) this is a tale I didn't do too well,
I (F major) really blew my cool.
The (F sharpdim) story (G major) of Laverne, LaVoom
and the night I was made a fool (C major)
Well it was Saturday night
and the boys were uptight
for some (G major) action out of town
So we jumped in the car,
didn't drive too far
into a (C major) French Quarter bar we found
Called (C minor) the Pink (C major) Paradise
and it opened my eyes
to a (F major) whole other way of life
My mind (G major) boggled and my eyes goggled
as I gazed upon that sign. (C major)
It was a poster of a lady of charm. (G major)
She had a bracelet on her left arm. (C major)
And diamond (F major) studded earrings
and a (G major) purple band in her hair.
But besides that, friends, she was (C major) bare
Well, the sign said, this is Laverne LeVeum
And tonight (G major) she's dancin'
in the stardust room
The sexsational wonder of the stage
Only (C major) one problem, we were underage
But the (F major) man at the door said,
what you waitin' for?
Come (G major) on, boys, step right in
And we did
Oh yes, we did
And friends, I can tell you now,
it was a devil's (C major) day.
We started to hunt for a seat up front
When a spot (G major) light came up all at once
And a hush went over the audience
You could hear (C major) them patting
in the back of the room
When (F major) out on stage stepped
Laverne LeVeum
And (G major) all her splendor and all her glory
And this is where we get
to the best part of the story (C major)
Oh, should I dare, (F major)
stare at her fair, fair, pair
I'm aware (G major) it might seem crude,
obscene, unclean, and lewd
But remem (F major) ber I was falling for that lady (G major)
Laverne, (C major) Laverne, oh Lord,
she started to wiggle and
wriggle and jiggle
Every (G major) part of her body
that would move and groove
She didn't seem to (D major) care
that (G major) everybody stared
Cause she (C major) smiled a smile like the angels do
I was (F major) in a trance from that exciting dance
It was (G major) exotic, erotic
And the way I was feeling,
man, it was antibiotic (C major)
But she tossed me (G major) a star (C major) -spangled
fancy dangle (G major)
Whatchamacallit, cover -up job
Mama (D major) said, (G major) hey, Bob,
what's this in my (C major) hand?
She would bump (F major) and grind right in time
to a (G major) fast dance beat.
You could feel the heat rising in the room.
I love you, Laverne, Laverne. (C major)
Well, after the show,
I decided to go backstage
(G major) to meet this female rage.
When all at once from the audience,
a man yelled (C major) out,
Hey, is that my son?
And I turned (F major) around
and to my surprise
I was star (G major) ing my daddy right in the eyes
And I said, Dad
Are you mad? (D major)
(G major) And he told me, (C major) son I under (G major) stand
Lord, a boy's a boy
and soon he becomes a man (C major)
And I'll make you a deal,
cause I know what it's like (F major)
I (G major) won't tell your mother
if you won't tell my (C major) wife (G major)
