G-D (x4)

D                                       G/D-D
You came walking by where I was sitting pretty
       G/D   D     C              G         A
Said, "Hey, babe, do you want to dance with me?"
       D                             G/D-D
And I noticed that you acted kind of funky
       G/D-D   C         G       A
As if somehow you were trying to be

      D                                    A
Supercool, no one's fool, just a rolling stone
        G              A
Acting out your party piece
              D
In Valentino tones


Smoking untipped cigarettes
                  A
And calling me a doll
     G              A
Sometimes I really wonder
           G           D
If you're happening at all

          Bm            A
Oh, supercool, I gotta lose you
G              D
And your hip asides
          Bm                    A
All this fair out, yeah, yeah, right on, baby
  G              A          C
Teenage talking jive

      D
Supercool, go back to school
                             A
Let's keep the whole thing clean
              G                 A
As you would say in your sweet way
                       D
You're really not my scene

G-D-A-G-A-D (x2) G

     D                                G/D  D
You cocked your brand-new felt hat to one side
     G/D-D          C    G       A
Like Bogart used to do on the screen
        D                        G/D D
You've got to realize that I'm a big girl
        G/D      D           C     G        A
Older enough to know you're early in your teens

Supercool, no one's fool, just a rolling stone
Acting out your party piece
In Valentino tones

Smoking untipped cigarettes
And calling me a doll
Sometimes I really wonder
If you're happening at all

Oh, supercool, I gotta lose you
And your hip asides
All this fair out, yeah, yeah, right on, baby
Teenage talking jive

Supercool, go back to school
Let's keep the whole thing clean
As you would say in your sweet way
You're really not my scene
              G                 A
As you would say in your sweet way
                       D
You're really not my scene
