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!
