I'm the hippiest number in town and I'll tell you why
I'm the snappiest dresser right down to my inch wide tie
And to get you wise I'll explain it to you
A few of the things that a face is supposed to do

I wear zoot suit jacket with side vents five inches long
I have two-tone shoes(?), all the rest, yeah you know this is wrong
But the main thing is, unless you're a fool
Ah you know, you gotta know, yeah you know, yeah you gotta be cool

So all you tickets I just want you to dig me
With my striped zoot jacket that the sods can plainly see

So the action lies with all of you guys
Is how you look in the other, the other, yeah, the other cat's eye

Well don't you see, well don't you see, well don't you see now
Well don't you see now, come on baby, 'cause don't you see now, oh baby
Well don't you see now, you drive me wild...you're crazy-looking now

Whoa, whoa, whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa)
I said whoa, whoa, whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa)
I love my baby (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Yeah, my baby love me (whoa, whoa, whoa)
And now when we get together (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Yeah, how happy we could be (whoa, whoa, whoa)
And I say all day (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Yeah, I said all night (whoa, whoa, whoa)
The reason why I'm so unhappy (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Yeah, my baby ain't treatin' me right (whoa, whoa, whoa), Yeah, I said all night long (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Yeah, I said all night long (whoa, whoa, whoa)

Said all day (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Yeah, I said all night too (whoa, whoa, whoa)
And now when we get together, baby (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Yeah, no tellin' what we might do (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Yeah, I said all night long (whoa, whoa, whoa)
And I said all night long (whoa, whoa, whoa)
And now, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa)
And I say whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa)

See that girl who's smiling so brightly
Well I reckon she's cool and I reckon rightly
She's good looking and I ain't frightened
I'm gonna show you why they call me lightning

Hey little girl who's dancing so lightly
My XKE is shining so brightly
The noose around us is slowly tightening
I'm gonna show you why they call me lightning

Hey little girl who's dancing so lightly
My XKE is shining so brightly
The noose around us is slowly tightening
I'm gonna show you why they call me lightning
You can't catch me, I'm as fast as can be
Call me lightning, I'm as fast as can be
No you can't catch me, no you can't catch me
