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!
|

|
|
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!
