Lyrics:

Price Peverett - Knee Trembler Music - Ascap




well I Was Sittin' In A Smokey Room, Band Playin' Rock And Roll,
everybody Burnin', Yearnin' For Some Alcohol.

i Got Up To Buy The Wine, When I Saw Shirley Jean,
powdering Her Nose, Posin' Like A Movie Queen.

shirley Jean, Sweet Little Seventeen,
shirley Jean, She's A Lovin' Machine.

i Tried To Give Her A Sign, But She Was Too High To See,
sittin' And Starin', Carin' Not A Thing For Me.
woo!
sweet Little Shirley Jean, Sure Lookin' Good To Me,
jet Black Stockings, Rockin' To The Bebop Beat.

tell By The Way She Was Actin', Musta' Had A Whole Lot To Hide,
she's Got A Whole Lotta Lovin', All Bottled Up Inside.
woo!

{rod - Slide Solo - Nick - Piano Solo}

i Ain't Goin To Say A Word, Can't Find A Word To Say,
you Ain't Gonna Get Me, Let Me Tell You Right Away.

i Gave Up And Wandered Out, When I Saw The Reason Why,
hugging Little Shirley, A Curly Headed Honey Pie.

shirley Jean, Sweet Little Seventeen
shirley Jean, Sweet Little Lovin' Machine, Well

shirley Jean, Sweet Little Seventeen,
shirley Jean, She's A Lovin' Machine.
well, Shirley Jean, Sweet Little Seventeen,
shirley Jean, She's A Lovin' Machine.
yeah, Well, Shirley Jean!

let Me Grease Your Machine!
let Me Check Your Oil.
woo!
sure Looks Good To Me!
