Crazy Downtown Chords & Lyrics - Misc Unsigned Bands - Alan Sherman

INTRO: [Bb] [F] [Bb] [Eb] [F]

#1.
Mommy and [Bb]Dad are never nervous or mad
when [F]you teen[Bb]agers go, [Eb]down[F]town.
Daddy and [Bb]Mom just stay at home and keep [F]calm
and watch the [Bb]late late show, [Eb]up..[F]town.

[CHORUS]
Cause [Bb]when you kids are gone we get to [Gm7]spend

some time alone, here.
[Bb]That's our only chance to use the [Gm7]bathtub or
the phone here..[Dm]when you're away.
[Gm]Be-[Eb]sides, we're stuck, where we are, because you
[Cm]kids took our [C]money, you kids took our car and
went, [F]down[Dm]town, [F]where can you possibly..?
[F]down[Dm]town, [F]it's twenty after three.
[F]down[Dm]town, [F]what do you mean by, "L[Bb]et's Frug"?
(Down[F]town..[Bb] ...[F] ....[Bb]down[F]town..)

#2.
[Bb]You don't come home till 4 AM cause you're [F]roaming
in the [Bb]streets somewhere, [Eb]down[F]town.
[Bb]We would feel swell if only someone would [F]tell us
what goes [Bb]on down there, [Eb]down[F]town.
[Bb]And every time we ask you what you're [Gm7]doing after

dark, there.
[Bb]You just say that you were Frugging [Gm7]to Petula Clark,
there..[Dm]that's what I mean.

[CHORUS]
So, [Eb]kids, give your [F]folks a [Eb]break, because you're
[C]driving us crazy, we sit here all night and take,
[F]Mil[Dm]town, [F]swallowing pills so we'll [F]calm [Dm]down, [F]counting
the hours you're [F]down[Dm]town, [F]you and your Frug and your [Bb]Slop.
(Down[F]town..[Bb] ...[F] ....down[Gb]town..down[Gbm]town..)

INTERLUDE: B..Gb B.....E Gbm......B Ebm.....E Gb

#3.
[B]While we're lying there we try to [Abm7]watch the television.
[B]Then you call us up and say you've [Ab]had a slight [Abm]collision..
[Ebm]there goes the car.
[Bb]Besides that, you've [Ab]been arrested so we've [Db]got to get up,
and we've got to get dressed and go..[Gb]down[B]town....[Gb]borrow
a car and go..[Gb]down[B]town....[Gb]that's where you are, [B]you finks..
[Gb]down[B]town, [Gb]wait 'till I get you kids [B]home.
([B]Down[Gb]town.........[B]down[Gb]town..[B]down[Gb]town..)

OUTRO:(SPOKEN:)

There'll be no more Frugging, no Swim, no Jerk,
([B]Down[Gb]town.........[B]down[Gb]town..[B]down[Gb]town..)

no Mashed Potato, no Slop!..and you know what else?
([B]Down[Gb]town.........[B]down[Gb]town..[B]down[Gb]town..)
You're gonna stay home tonight, and your mother and I are

going downtown and we're going to dance the Tango, and the
([B]Down[Gb]town.........[B]down[Gb]town..[B]down[Gb]town..)
Waltz, and the Foxtrot, and we're gonna do the Bunny Hop.

That's a nice dance!..and there'll be no more Frugging!
([B]Down[Gb]town.........[B]down[Gb]town..[B]down[Gb]town..)

Is that quite clear?..NO MORE FRUGGING!!
