The moon hung like a shadow on a rung over Shanghai Them soldier boys were returning home screaming "Banzai" And the kids are still playing their game Getting hustled and rustled out in the rain As I sat inside listening to the broadcast Oh save my soul sweet rock and roll ’cause I’m sinkin’ fast  And then the band played e|-9-7----------------9-7----------------9-7-------------9-7-----------------| B|------10-7---2/3--------10-7---5/7---------10-7--2/3-------10-7---5/7------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|   Out of nowhere and it was alright e|-9-7--------5/7--5-----9-7--------5/7---5-----5--7-------------------------| B|-----10-7---5/7--5---------10-7---5/7-----5---5--7-------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Now the legendary chaplain of the fighting 51st was getting ready to go I said "Padre do you know a cheap virgin who likes to tango?" He said "You can try Linda Lee" around the corner and across the sea Word is out word is out she’s fast Well blow me down now Linda ’cause I’m sinkin’ fast Yes and them cats are sure getting fat down in the train yard And the sandman brings them dreams to ship out in the boxcars The union says "Hold." Break out the dice break out the gold It’s lunchtime at last And old big Mama said "George Raft’s tonight on the late show" She sits straddling a kitchen chair really gung-ho She shivers with chills wet with slot car thrills Hypnotically lost in the glass And we all sigh with the sunrise As we watch the credits pass And then the morning cloak fell down like a hoax over Sleepy Town And garbage truck vigilantes out making the last rounds The inheritor he sipped his beer and poked cute fun of the queer And threatened to kick his ass One two three ow!  And the band played out on the radio it was alright e|-9-7----------------9-7----------------9-7-------------9-7-----------------| B|------10-7---2/3--------10-7---5/7---------10-7--2/3-------10-7---5/7------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|   It’s on the radio and he listened to the bass man (Clarence’s Bass Vocal) And the boys in the band sang (Whoa whoa whoa wo-ho) That’s right (Whoa whoa whoa wo-ho) I’m so excited (Whoa whoa whoa wo-ho) Everybody (Whoa whoa whoa wo-ho) And the band played (Whoa whoa whoa wo-ho) Everybody (Whoa whoa whoa wo-whoa)
