1. Don’t look at me, don’t
touch me, keep your mind straight ahead,
A G A G
don’t
get no funny ideas about me, or you’ll wish that you were dead.
D
That’s what I’m thinking she must be thinking,
the
girl I spent 53 bucks on last night,
A G
she gives me a look from the corner of her
eye that says:
A G
Boy, keep acting alright.

E G
How surprised was I when she
learned over and whispered in my ear.
A G A G
Get a leg up, ah ah, get a leg over boy, yeah yeah !
A G A G
Get a leg up, ah ah ! What’s the matter, are
you shy, shy, shy ?
A G
2. I’m pretty good with first impressions,
A G
but
sometimes I’m not always right,
A G A
G
I pulled the car to the shoulder of the
road to see what she had in mind.
D
Want me to spend the night,
hey, lover boy, you know I will,
A G A G
and my best girlfriend lives down the road,
together we will thrill you.
B7 E
And I’m thinking to myself, I could be
happy Pierre tonight.
A G A G
If I could get a leg up, ah ah, if I could get a leg over, yeah yeah !
A
G A G
You know I ain’t that handsome, ah ah, but you know I ain’t shy, shy,
shy.

3. The rest of the night went
on and on, and the moral to this song,
A
G
don’t
go making hasty judgements,
A G
because
sometimes they could be wrong.
D
Nothing wrong with a good time,
just
keep yourself protected, make a list.
A G
And you can bet your life that the women don’t
know,
A G
the
little girls are acting like this.
B7 E
So the next time a young one
moves up, and she whispers in your ear.
A G A G
If I could get a leg up, ah ah, if I could get a leg over, yeah yeah !
A G A G
Get a leg up, ah ah, now don’t you be shy, shy, shy !
A
G A G
Get a leg up, ah ah, get a leg over, boy, yeah, yeah !
A G A G
You know I ain’t that handsome, ah ah, but you know I ain’t shy, shy,
shy.
A G A G
Get a leg up, ah ah, get a leg over, boy, yeah, yeah !
A G A G
Get a leg up, ah ah, now don’t you be shy, shy, shy !
A
+ Oh, get it up !
