Blue jean man
Instrumental
13 seconds
Skinny white sailor
the chances

were slender
the beauties were brief
Shall I mourn your decline
with some

thunderbird wine
and a black handkerchief?
But genial whisper
I miss the voice
That called my heart
Sweet

Gene
Vincent
Young

and old
and gone
Sweet

Gene
Vincent
Who, who, who's

that John?
Instrumental
12 seconds
White face, black shirt
white socks, black shoes
black hair, white strat

bled white, dyed black
Sweet Gene Vincent
At the soft hop hall
in the union hall

where the hop
is their delight
Here comes
duck-tailed Danny
dragging uncanny Annie
she's the one
with the flying feet
You can break the peace

daddy sickle grease
the beat is incomplete
And you jump back
honey in your dungerees

tight sweater and
a pony tail
Well you guess her age
when she comes

back stage
the hoodlums
bite their nails
Instrumental
12 seconds
Black gloves, white frost
black crepe, white lead
white sheet, black knight
iet black, dead white
Sweet Gene Vincent
There's one
in every town
and the devil drives
till the hearse arrives
you lay that pistol down
Sweet Gene Vincent

there's nowhere
left to hide
With lazy skin

and ash-grey eyes
and perforated pride
Instrumental
12 seconds
So farewell mademoiselle
knicker-hocker hotel
farewell to money owed
But when your leg
still hurts and

you need more shirts
you'd heter get back
ontheroad
