Blue jean ba-by, L. A. la-dy,

Seam-stress for the band

Pret-ty eyed, pi-rate smile,

you'll mar-ry a mu-sic man

Bal-le-ri-na, you must have seen her

danc-ing in the sand
3   6-54 4    4  -3  6-5 56   5   -3
And now she's in me, al-ways with me, 
6-55-5 4   -3 -3 4  -5-4-33
ti-ny dan-cer in my  hand

Jesus freaks out in the street

Hand-ing tickets out for God

Turn-ing back she just laughs

The boul-e-vard is not that bad


Pi-an-o man he makes his stand

In the au-di-to-ri-um

Look-ing on she sings the songs

The words she knows the tune she hums

-5*-5* -5* 5   -5*  -6  -6
But oh how it feels so real 
-5 -5   -5   -3* -5 -5*  -5*
Ly-ing here with no one near


-5-5* -5*  5  -5  -5  -5*  -5
On-ly you and you can hear me
-3*  4  -5  -6  7  7-6  -6
When I say soft-ly slow-ly

-7   -8  8   5  -5 5-5 -6-54 -3
Hold me clos-er ti-ny danc-  er
-7    -8   8     5    -5  5   6   -5
Count the head-lights on the high-way
-7  -8  8   5    -5   5 -6-54 -3
Lay me down in sheets of lin- en
-6   -7-8  8  5  -5 5   6
you had a bus-y day to-day

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
