F
1951 Small town kids
Got nothing to do
G
But dream all night
Of movie stars and Cadillac cars
F
And beautiful girls
And big city lights
C
A River dragnet coming down
G
Boom, shakalakalakalakalaka boom,
Shimmy shimmy shake, shimmy shake, shimmy shimmy shimmy
C
A River dragnet coming down
G
Boom, shakalakalakalakalaka boom,
Shimmy shimmy shake, shimmy shake, shimmy shimmy shimmy
F
From every corner
Of this great old nation
G
Good kids succumb
To the depths of temptation
F
Homecoming queens
Get lost in the cracks
G
And quarter back heroes
Get strung out on Smack
C
A River dragnet coming down
G
Boom, shakalakalakalakalaka boom,
Shimmy shimmy shake, shimmy shake, shimmy shimmy shimmy
C
A River dragnet coming down
G
Boom, shakalakalakalakalaka boom,
Shimmy shimmy shake, shimmy shake, shimmy shimmy shimmy
F
You wake up one day
With a monkey on your back
G
With foil on all your windows
And you're hiding all your tracks
F
The sheriff's shotgun
Don't make a sound
G
When it's pointed at your corpse
After he shot you down
C
A River dragnet coming down
G
Boom, shakalakalakalakalaka boom,
Shimmy shimmy shake, shimmy shake, shimmy shimmy shimmy
C
A River dragnet coming down
G
Boom, shakalakalakalakalaka boom,
