       C                               G
Don't dance with her Henry, don't you dance
with her Jake
C                          D     G
Oh she's an angel from the Innerlake
     C                              G
She gives me all the loving that a good
man can take
C                          D     G
Oh she's an angel from the Innerlake

G       Bm       C     D
(Sha-na, na-na, na na, oh oh)
G       Bm       C     D
(Sha-na, na-na, na na, oh oh)

Thundercrack, baby's back
G                 Bm              C           D
This time she'll tell me how she really feels
G         Bm          C          D
Bring me down to her lightning shack
G        Bm       C       D
You can watch my partner reeling

Chorus:
G            C
She moves up, she moves back
G                           D
Out on the floor there just is no one cleaner
G                                   C
She does this thing she calls the "Jump back Jack"
G                         D
She's got the heart of a ballerina

She's straight from the Bronx, hung off a line
She slips, she slides, she slops,
she bops, she bumps, she grinds
Even them dance hall hacks from
the west side of the tracks
Move in close to catch her timin'

Chorus

 G                           C
Oh, she ain't no little girl, no, she ain't
          G
got no curls
G                           D
Her hair ain't brown and her eyes ain't either
G                                         C
Round and round and round and round and round
and round and round andn round and
G                                        D
Round and round and round and round and round
and round and round
     Em                   Bm
My heart's wood, she's a carpenter
         Am                           C
She's an angel in the night, what she does is
   D
alright
G      Bm      C        D
Dance with me, partner
G      Bm      C        D
Dance with me, partner

Dance with me, partner

Thundercrack, baby's back
This time she'll tell me how she really feels
Bring me down to her lightning shack

Chorus:
She moves up, she moves back
Out on the floor there just is no one cleaner
She does this thing she calls the "Jump Back Jack"
She's got the heart of a ballerina

Oh, she ain't no little girl, she ain't got no curls
Her hair ain't brown and her eyes ain't either
Round and round and round and round
And round and round and round and round
And round and round and round and round
And round and round and round and round
My heart's wood, she's a carpenter
She's an angel in the night,
what she does is alright
Dance with me, partner

all night)
