You (F5)pull in to a drive in (E5)and (F5)find a place to park.
(E5)You (F5)hop in to the back seat where (E5)you (F5)know it’s nice and dark.
(E5)You’re (F5)just a bout to move and (E5)you’re (F5)think ing it’s a breeze, (E5)there’s a (F5)light in your eye and then a guy (E5)says, (F5)“Out of the (CN.C.)car, long hair!” Ooh whee!
