ROCKABILLY FEVER
(Billy Hancock - Tex Rubinowitz)
BILLY HANCOCK & THE TENNESSEE ROCKETS
(BIG BEAT / RIPSAW, 1981)

Well, I met a [real] fine chick just the other day
She had a real cute smile [style] and I liked her way
I was snugglin' up, makin' time you know
Till she reached out to turn on the radio
I said, I can't go for no sounds [tunes] like that
Well, you must be a disco maniac

I got that rockabilly fever
Well, the rockabilly fever
The rockabilly fever, I'm just a rockabilly boy

Gimme some old Carl Perkins, some Elvis too
Some Rock 'n' Roll Ruby and some Linda Lou
Charlie Feathers, Hank Williams, jolly right
Buddy Holly & The Crickets will do just fine

Well, she looked at me like she didn't understand
I told her that her music was mighty bad
I'm just a good [plain] country lovin', a rockin' man
Gimme a hiccup singer and a three piece band

Oowh, I got that rockabilly fever
The rockabilly fever
Well, the rockabilly fever, I'm just a rockabilly boy
Oowh, cool it
[Guitar break]
Oh, get real gone

Well, I raced on home and I was back in a flash
I rid her turntable of that disco trash
Her feet started movin', now it's plain to see
She's got that rockabilly fever just like me

Oowh, she's got that rockabilly fever
Well, the rockabilly fever
Well, the rockabilly fever and she's my rockabilly joy
Well, the rockabilly fever and I'm her rockabilly boy
