* 3-bar intro
"Allo.
* 3 1/2-bar break
* Verse 1 Well, the time's gettin' hard for you, little girl.
I'm-a hummin' and a strummin' all over God's world.
You don't remember when you got your last meal
And you forgot just how a woman feels.
You didn't know what rock'n'roll was
Until you met a drummer on a Greyhound bus.
I got there in the nick of time
Before he got his hands across your state li-i-ine.
* 3 1/2-bar break
* Verse 2 Well, in the middle of the night on the open road,
And the heater don't work and it's oh so cold,
You're gettin' tired, baby, lookin' kind of beat.
The music on the street dirves you off your feet.
You didn't know how rock'n'roll looked
Until you caught your sister with a guy from the crew.
Halfway home in the parking lot,
By the look in her eyes, she was givin' what she got.
* Chorus Ya know I, I, I, once bitten, twice shy, babe.
Ya know I, I, I, once bitten, twice shy, babe.
Ya know I, I, I, once bitten, twice shy, babe.
* 4-bar break
* Verse 3 Woman, you're a mess, gonna die in your sleep.
All the blood on my amp and my Les Paul heat.
I can't leave you home because you're runnin' around.
My best friend told me you're the best trick in town.
You didn't know that rock'n'roll burned,
So you bought a candle and you loved and you learned.
You've got the rhythm, you've got the speed.
Mamma's little baby likes it short and sweet.
* Repeat chorus
* 8-bar guitar solo
* Verse 4 I didn't know you got a rock'n'roll record
Until I saw a picture on your other guy's jacket.
You told me I was the only one.
Look at you now, well, it's dark, yes, it's gone.
* Chorus 2 I, I, I, once bitten, twice shy, babe.
Ya know I, I, I, once bitten, twice shy, babe.
Ya know I, I, I, once bitten, twice shy, babe.
Ya know I, I, I, once bitten, twice shy-y-y-y-y-y-y.
