Intro: G A7 Am7 D7

Verse 1:
G
Who's the livin' dolly with the beautiful eyes?
G
What a pair of lips -- I'd like to try 'em for size.
C
I'll just tell her, "Baby, won't you swing it with me?"
G
Hope she tells me "Maybe" -- what a wing it will be.
D7
So I said politely, "Darlin' may I intrude?"
 Am7       G             C6               Eb7 D7  G6
She said   don't keep me waitin' when I'm in  the mood."

G
First I held her lightly and we started to dance;
G
Then I held her tightly -- what a dreamy romance!
C
And I said, "Hey, baby, it's a quarter to three...
G
There's a mess of moonlight, won't you share it with me?"
D7
"Well," she answered, "Mister, don't cha know that it's rude
Am7       G           C6                   Eb7 D7  G6
