John
White face black shirt
White socks black shoes
Black hair white strat
Bled white died black
Sweet gene vincent
Let the blue can roll tonight
At the sock hop ball in the union hall
Where the bop is there delight
Walley the fight choice
Danny dragging Uncanny Annie
She's walk with the flying feet
You can break the peace daddy sickle grease
The beat is reet complete
And you jump back honey in the dungerees
Tight sweater and a ponny tail
Will you guess her age when she comes back stage
The hoodlems bite their nails
Black gloves white frost
Black crepe white lead
White sheet black knight
Jet black dead white
Sweet gene vincent
There's one in every town
And the devil drives 'till the hurse arrives
You lay that pistol down
Sweet gene vincent
There's nowhere left to hide
With lazy skin and ash-tray eyes
A perforated pride aw
So farewell mademoiselle knicker-bocker hotel
Farewell to money owed
But when your leg still hurts and you need more shirts
Got to get back on the road
Sweet gene vincent
Sweet gene vincent
Sweet gene vincent
Sweet gene vincent
Where the left to hide
