Blue Gene babySkinny white sailor, The chances were slenderThe beauties were briefShall I mourn your decline With some Thunderbird wineAnd a black handkerchief? I miss your sad Virginia whisperI miss the voice that called my heartSweet Gene VincentYoung and old and goneSweet Gene VincentWho, who, who slapped John?White face, black shirtWhite socks, black shoesBlack hair, white StratBled white, died blackSweet Gene VincentLet the blue roll tonightAt the sock hop ball in the Union HallWhere the bop is their delightHere come duck-tailed Danny Dragging Uncanny AnnieShe's the one with the flying feetYou can break the peace Daddy sickle greaseThe beat is reet completeAnd you jump back, honey In the dungereesTight sweater and a pony tailWill you guess her age When she comes back stage?The hoodlums bite their nailsBlack gloves, white frost Black crepe, white lead White sheet, black knight Jet black, dead white Sweet Gene VincentThere's one in every townAnd the devil drives Till the hearse arrivesAnd you lay that pistol downSweet Gene VincentThere's nowhere left to hideWith lazy skin and ash tray eyesA perforated prideSo farewell mademoiselle, Knickerbocker HotelFarewell to money owedBut when your leg still hurts And you need more shirtsYou got to get back on the road
Lyrics by Ian Dury & the Blockheads
