Instrumental verse
 
E                     E7
If I should stumble down the street
A                               F#7
Pay no attention just jump my feet yeah 
E                 B7                  E   F#7   B7  
You can't stop me  not if it pleases me. 
 
E                     E7
And if I should steal your only girl-child 
A                            F#7
Don't worry Momma, I'll just drive her wild
E                 B7                  E    F#7   B7  
You can't stop me not if it pleases me.
