Hey, here I am, I'm feelin' good 
                   G 
Takin' a ride on a hot summer night 
            C 
'cause on a long, hot, hot summer night 
                      G 
Just don't know why I know what I am

So let'em keep on runnin'

So let'em keep on chasin' me 
C 
Yes, here I am, all heavy legged 
                      G 
Been dancin' on, on a hot summer night 
          C 
Call me a scrounger, a degenerate bum 
                  G 
Every day hear it over again 
          g 
So let'em keep on runnin'

You're always sayin' I'm sleepin' all day 
                    G
