Lyrics
Price / peverett - knee trembler music - ascap
Well I was sittin' in a smokey room, band playin' rock and roll Everybody burnin', yearnin' for some alcohol
I got up to buy the wine, when I saw shirley jean Powdering her nose, posin' like a movie queen
Shirley jean, sweet little seventeen Shirley jean, she's a lovin' machine
I tried to give her a sign, but she was too high to see Sittin' and starin', carin' not a thing for me Woo! Sweet little shirley jean, sure lookin' good to me Jet black stockings, rockin' to the bebop beat
Tell by the way she was actin', musta' had a whole lot to hide She's got a whole lotta lovin', all bottled up inside Woo!
{Rod - slide solo - nick - piano solo}
I ain't goin to say a word, can't find a word to say You ain't gonna get me, let me tell you right away
I gave up and wandered out, when I saw the reason why Hugging little shirley, a curly headed honey pie
Shirley jean, sweet little seventeen Shirley jean, sweet little lovin' machine, well
Shirley jean, sweet little seventeen Shirley jean, she's a lovin' machine Well, shirley jean, sweet little seventeen Shirley jean, she's a lovin' machine Yeah, well, shirley jean!
Let me grease your machine! Let me check your oil Woo! Sure looks good to me!
