Thank you very much,

Bm
G
and good evening here to our first show this
D
evening here at the Copa.
G
You know, when we were

selecting material for the act,
C
D
I of course consulted some
Bm
of the older veterans
G
Am
in show business for advice.
D
You know, the older people
G
like Fabian and Sal Mineo
C
and all the older guys.
Cm
G
And they said, well,
Bm
why don't you do at least
D
G
C
one blue song in the act?
G
D
So with this thought in mind,
G
C
I would like to ask all of you
Cm

to come along with me and try
G

and picture a typical teenage soda bar
G

just before school lets out along
G
about 3 o 'clock.
It's a quarter to three,
Dm
G
Abdim
no one in the place
G
except you and me.

I flunked my exam.

My girl digs Elvis Presley

in preference to me

I'm playing second fiddle to his guitar
Dm
G
C
Now I don't mean to

knock that good Presley rock

So make it one triple milkshake

and one more cherry

Ab
C#
D
C
blow.

they are all eaten away

of hearing my woes
