lyrics

There’s some kind of commotion by the jukebox machine
A sea of leather jackets and tight blue jeans, oh yeah
And they’re coming for me, ‘cos I’ve got myself all tangled up
All upside-down and dummystruck, oh yeah, because of just one thing

I know she’s Jimmy’s girl but I love her
The guys at the Hop don’t seem to understand
She’s got me in a whirl, I’m in trouble
And now’s the time I up and ran

The cops pulled me over to the side of the road
and said, “Get out of here, son, things are going to explode in your face,
those guys are coming after you,”
So I hitched a ride out to Dead Man’s Curve and rued the day I fell in love
And threw it all away

‘Cos I know she’s Jimmy’s girl…

Jimmy and the Vipers found me up at the Pass
I could have sworn this Friday night on earth was gonna be my last
But I stood my ground like I was greeting old friends
‘Cos some day every jukebox record must come to an end
Jimmy clapped his hands, his boys moved in for the kill
Then I heard the Giant’s T-Bird cruising slowly up the hill
I turned and smiled, said:
“You’ve got one choice, I think you’d better run- here come the Zatopek boys.”
