C#m
Hey kid, rock and roll
Rock on, ooh, my soul
Hey kid, boogie too, did ya?
Hey shout, summertime blues
Jump up and down in my blue suede shoes
Hey kid, rock and roll, rock on
And where do we go from here?
Which is the way that's clear?
Still looking for that blue jean, baby queen
  B              C#m
Prettiest girl I ever seen
See her shake on the movie screen, Jimmy Dean

And where do we go from here
Which is the way that's clear

Prettiest girl I ever seen
