Karaoke Track: Sweet Gene Vincent by Ian Dury And The Blockheads (West Coast Entertainment) - Karaoke Nerds

Skinny white sailor

The chances were slender
The beauties were brief

Shall I mourn your decline

With some thunderbird wine
And a black hankerchief?

I miss your sad
Wrginia whisper

I miss the voice
that called my heart

Sweet Gene Vincent

Young and old and gone
Sweet Gene Vincent

Who who who slapped john?

White face black shirt
White socks black shoes

Black hair white strat
Bled white died black

Sweet Gene Vincent
Let the blue roll tonight

At the sock hop ball
In the union hall
Where the bop
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 reet complete

And you jump back honey
In the dungerees
Tight sweater and a pony tail

Will you guess her age
When she comes backstage?

The hoodlums bite their nails

Black gloves white frost
Black crepe white lead

White sheet black knight
Jet black dead white

Sweet Gene Wncent
There's one in every town

And the devil drives
'Till the hearse arrives
And you lay that pistol down

Sweet Gene Wncent
There's nowhere left to hide
With lazy skin
and ash tray eyes

A perforated pride

So farewell mademoiselle
Knickerbocker hotel

Farewell to money owed

But when your leg
still hurts

And you need
more shirts
You got to get
back on the road...
