Verse2:
I got an old photograph in my pocket
We were still in our teens
Lord knows I look alot older now,
But you still look the same to me.
Honey you don't ever laugh like you used to
And I don't want to see you blue
If you ain't busy tonight and you think it's all right
This is what I want to do.
(Chorus)
Bridge:
BbDm
Let's twist and shout,
AmBb
Just like in the good old days
GmDmC
Baby, watch out, you know I just can't stand it
D
When you look at me that way
Chorus: (but transposed up one whole tone; e.g.,)
EmGCD
I want to BOP with you baby, all night long
EmGCD
I wanna bebop with ya baby 'til the break of dawn
AmEm
I wanna make it a night like it used to be
