I hear you knockin' but you can't come in
Em9 A7
You wear your stockings like you think it's a sin
Em9 A7
Don't try to tell me you ain't been where you been
G B7
'Cause I know that you've been messin' round with him
Em9
So slow down
A7
(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down)
Em9
Come on down
A7
(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down)
Em9
Oh down
A7
(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down)
C7 B7 Em7
Before it gets too late
C7 B7 Em7
Before it gets too late
Em9 A7
I met you dancin' at the high school gym
Em9 A7
You rubbed against me my head started to spin
Em9 A7
You turned around gave me a wink and a grin
G B7
And then you told me that you'd like to be friends
Em9
Don't slow down
A7
(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down)
Em9
Don't slow down
A7
(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down)
Em9
Don't slow down
A7
(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down)
Em9
Don't slow down
C7 B7 Em7
Before it gets too late
C7 B7 Em7
Before it gets too late
Take it!

A7
(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down)

Before it gets too late

You know before it gets too late
Oh, hey
