Walkin' down the street,
G Em G Em
Look how he walks, with a dancin' beat

G Em G Em
All day long he's a-singin a song,

And when I see him in the street

My heart takes a leap and skips a beat,

Tell him that I'll always be there,

(Spoken over drums and bass):

(Sisters): What color are his eyes?
(Mary): I dunno, he's always wearing shades.
(Sisters): Is he tall?
(Mary): Well, I gotta look up.
(Sisters): Yeah, well I hear he's bad!
(Mary): Mmmm, he's good bad, but he's not evil.

G Em
Tell me more, tell me more,

Verse II:

Big [mumble something] (Tell me more)
To match his eyes, (Tell me more)

Tight kahki pants,
High button shoes,
He's always lookin', like-a he got the blues,

Repeat chorus.

(Spoken over G Em]

(Mary): Waddya mean, is he a good dancer?
(Sisters): Well, how does he dance?
(Mary, loses Queens accent): Close, very, very, close...

Tab/Chord interpretation by Craig Carlson

Notes:

I just could not get that line in the second verse. It *sounds* kinda
like "Big broken suede", but I don't know how broken suede would match
his eyes. Help!
