This guy's name is Jeffrey Jack

He can shoot the eyes out of a pool ball
D A
He can get those young girls into the sack

We'll drop down to the dance hall
C
Locals will be kickin' up their heels

They'll be drinkin' tequila sunrises

Until the morning light fills up the window sills

Well she ain't half bad to talk to
