Jitterbug
 You put the boom-boom  into my heart
 You send my soul  sky high when your lovin'  starts
 Jitterbug into my brain
 Goes a bang-bang-bang  'til my feet  do the same
 But something's  bugging you
 Something  ain't right
 My best friend  told me what you did  last night
Left  me sleepin'  in my bed
 I was dreaming,  but I should  have been with you instead.
 (N/A)
 Wake me up before you go-go
 Don't leave me hanging  on like a  yo-yo
 Wake me up before you go-go
 I don't want to miss  it when you hit that  high
 Wake me up before you go-go
 'Cause I'm not plannin'  on going  solo
 Wake me up before you go-go
Take  me dancing tonight
 I wanna hit that high (yeah, yeah)
 You take the grey  skies out of my way
 You make the sun  shine brighter than Doris  Day
 Turned a bright spark into a flame
 My beats  per minute never been the  same
 'Cause you're  my lady, I'm  your fool
 It makes  me crazy when you  act so cruel
Come  on, baby, let's  not fight
 We'll  go dancing,  everything will be all right
Wake  me up before you go-go
 Don't leave me hanging  on like a  yo-yo
 Wake me up before you go-go
 I don't want to miss  it when you hit that  high
 Wake me up before you go-go
 'Cause I'm not plannin''  on going  solo
 Wake me up before you go-go
Take  me dancing tonight
 I wanna hit that high (yeah, yeah, baby)
 (same chords as chorus)
 (Jitterbug)
 (Jitterbug)
Cuddle  up, baby,  move in tight
We'll  go dancing  tomorrow night
It's  cold out there,  but it's warm in bed
They  can dance, we'll  stay home instead
 (Jitterbug)
Wake  me up before you go-go
 Don't leave me hanging  on like a  yo-yo
 Wake me up before you go-go
 I don't want to miss  it when you hit that  high
 Wake me up before you go-go
 'Cause I'm not plannin''  on going  solo
 Wake me up before you go-go
Take  me dancing tonight
 (continue chorus chord pattern til end)
 Wake me up before you go-go, don't you dare to leave me hanging on like a
 yo-yo
 Take me dancing
 (Boom-boom-boom)
