Well, they danced to every tune 
         G
the band could play

              D       
At just about midnight, 

       C                  G
they decided to call it a day

              D         G      C        
Well, there's one thing that's left here 

F        G 
on their minds,

            Em     Am
 yeah, yeah, yeah 

                Em  Am  
To get a little slice at 

    Em        Am
Any price, yeah

               Em
They stole the shoes and rice

D

He was dumb, he was dirty,

But she was a princess

           D             
But custom-made it to fit 

      C        G
Right into his arms 

          D         
Shе could thrill him, 

Am 
She could chill him (Woo), 

G           Em
Down to the bone

Am                Em
But hе was in his teens

Am                  Em    Am
He had to spill the beans

                  Em
Still looking for ways and means

D                      
Surrender to the rhythm 

        Bm          D
That is calling him home
 
 
[Bridge]

C              Bm     
Well, who's to say if 

     Am       G
It's right or wrong?

C           Bm        Am      G C Bm Am G C Bm Am
Not another singer in another song
G            Am
I said we're doing alright

Well, now guess what, 
           C 
Guess what happened,  

                    G
Guess what happened next 

             D         
She said she had to go, 

             C 
Said she was meeting up with

            G
 One of her friends

           D               Am       
But it was nothing more or less than 

                    G     Em Am
Another mess of the blues

                   Em   Am
But he had more to lose

                   Em    Am
Started putting in clues

Oh yeah, paying his dues
D
Surrender to the rhythm 

That is calling him home
