[Verse 1]
It was twenty-five past nine at night
And I was really bored
So I sat down with my guitar
But I needed some new chords
I spoke to my good friend, called Chas
He was an indie boy
With skinny jeans, and vintage shoes
And hair all over the shop
[Chorus]
And he said
"Oh girl, just use a good chord combination
That will make the boys go goo-goo eyed
And give them inspiration, honey
You need a sweet and simple melody
That you can sing along to, an indie tune
That will make the girls swoon
That a raver boy can dance to
[Verse 2]
I said it sounds okay
He said "Of course it does, you're a magician on guitar"
I said, "thank you love, I'm not that great
And I wouldn't go that far"
I've got this friend called Paul and his brain ain't small
He played the violin
But now he's a rocker, a leather jacket shocker
I wish I could play like him
[Chorus]
He said
"Oh girl, just use a good chord combination
That will make the boys go goo-goo eyed
And give them inspiration, honey
You need a sweet and simple melody
That you can sing along to, an indie tune
That will make the girls swoon
When a raver boy asks for a dance"
For a dance, for a dance
And he said
"Oh girl, just use a good chord combination
That will make the boys go goo-goo eyed
And give them inspiration, honey
You need a sweet and simple melody
That you can sing along to, an indie tune
That will make the girls swoon
That a raver boy can dance to"
