[Verse 1]
F# Make me a deal, and make it strC#aight,
C# All signed and sealed, I'll take it...
F# ...To Robert E. Lee, I'll show it,
C# I hope and pray he don't blow it, 'cause...
B ...We've been around a long time,
Just trG#ying to ...trying to, trying to...
C# ...Make the big time!
[Verse 2]
F# Take me on a roller-coaster,
C# Take me for an airplane ride,
F# Take me for a six-day wonder, but don't you...
C# ...Don't you throw my pride aside, besides...
B What's real, and make believe?
BG#aby Jane's in Acapulco, C#we are flying down to Rio!

[Verse 3]
F# Throw me a line, I'm sinking fC#ast,
C# Clutching at straws, ...can't make it,
F# Havana sound we're trying,
C# A hard edge, the hipster jiving,
Oh - Boh, 'Last picture show's down the drive-in,
YoG#u're so sheer, you're so chic,
'C#Teenage rebel of the week'!
[Verse 4]
F# Flavours of the mountain streamline,
C# Midnight blue casino floors,
F# Dance the cha-cha through 'til sunrise,
C# Opens up exclusive doors, oh - wow,
B Just like flamingoes look the same,
So G#me and you, just we two,
GC#ot to search for some -thing new!

[Verse 5]
F# Far beyond the pale horizon,
C# Some place near the desert strand,
F# A-where my Studebaker takes me,
C# That's where I'll make my stand, but wait...
B Can't you see that Holtzer mane?
WG#hat's her name, ...Virginia Plain?
