A [lead guitar repeats intro riff]
Back beat boogie got a hold on me, make me wanna jump and shout
D Dsus4 D
Twisting like a top, I never want to stop tonight

Pre-chorus:

You surely look like a [1, 3: magazine 2: movie queen]

Come on and dance with me

A [lead guitar repeats intro riff]
I'm a rocker, I'm a roller
I been a-boogieing since I ditched the stroller
E A
So come on hold me tight
D E A [1st repeat: E]
And we can rock the night away

Verse 2:

Tight booted teenie with the smiling face
Make me want to smile and shake
Come on out today and shimmy like a rattlesnake

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

D
I get this feeling when I hear that beat
A
I gotta jump and get up on the table
D
'Cause when that rhythm and blues electrifies my shoes

I get the message like it came by cable (Hey!)

(guitar 2 plays a contrasting part that I can't pick out of
the near-mono mix)
