Valerie
Richard Thompson, from Daring Adventures

G (add 6 in Chuck Berry style)
Valerie–You give me heart attack
Valarie–you put me on the rack
You say that I’m history, you say I’m no good
Then you want to be two babes in the wood
G D C Em
That’s what I call playing to the gallery
Em D C G
I’m wait wait waiting for Valerie
Valerie–She’s got a scar down here
Valerie–She’s got gold in her ear
A figure like this, lips like that
Red fingernails, teeth like a cat
She never gets home till five or four or three
I’m wait wait waiting for Valerie
Em
I’m soft in the head, I give her hard cash
G
She spends all my money on junk and trash
Em
Nylon fur, plastic shoes
D
And fifty-seven things she’s never going to use
D
Never, never, never going to use
Valerie–you’re going to choke or drown
Valerie–Why don’t you put that down
If you don’t get over this eating jag
They’re going to take you home in a body bag
I can’t stand to see one more calorie
I’m wait wait waiting for Valerie
Every time I turn my back
She’s round the corner looking for a crack
It’s going to be the ruin of me
I’m running on nervous energy
Valerie–she want to move out of town
Valerie–she want the money down
She want leopard-skin this, tigerskin that
Matching luggage, lipstick, hat
I can’t afford her on my salary
I’m wait, wait, waiting for Valerie
