Ian Dury and the Blockheads - The Roadette Song
[Intro]
Am Em Am Em
Am
[Verse 1]
Am
She can roll her shoulder, she can roll her ass
Am
Ain't no doubt about it she's a gamey lass
Am
Jerking with her elbow, clever with her knees
Am
Way she move it over, does the best to please
Dm
Diction very bad, friction double rich
Am
Brazen little hussy, rock 'n' rolling bitch
Dm
When it come to business takes off like a jet
E
Rocking's her vocation she's a very high roadette
[Chorus]
F#m D C#
Young man there ain't no need to hustle
F#m D C#
Young man slow down your hustle bustle
F#m C#m F#m
You can take your time, young man
D C#
Some of this is muscle
[Verse 2]
Am
Lightning in her legs, spitfire on her hip
Am
Rock 'n' roll's a habit, guitar wrote the script
Am
Messed up on her history, won the schooling praise
Am
Does her heavy thinking, Bristols in m' face
Dm
Never had a teacher messing with her brain
Am
You should see her pupils, music's in her veins
Dm
Shifting her transmission, Chevrolet Corvette
E
Rock 'n' roll relations with a very high roadette
[Instrumental]
