Sally’s puttin’ on her perfume - slippin’ into high-heeled shoes Sally used to have a boyfriend play the blues Billy’s puttin’ gas in the pick-up - combin’ his hair just right Money burnin’ holes in his pocket till tonight
’cause it’s nine o’clock - time to rock Goin’ downtown - gonna hear a little guitar talk
Mama does her time at the factory Daddy minds the local store Nothin’ much to say about it anymore When they get lost in the music - under the dancehall lights Mama still makes lovin’ daddy feel all right
’cause it’s nine o’clock - time to rock Goin’ downtown - gonna hear a little guitar talk
When the guitar talks, when the bass man walks There’s a place down deep inside your heart it will unlock When there’s singin’ strings, and the guitar rings Everywhere around the world the message is the same
Weatherman tells the weather - tv man reads the news But there’s nothin’ like a fender talkin’ ’bout blue suede shoes And if your baby leaves you, and if it’s been a low down day Listen what a good old six-string has to say
’cause it’s nine o’clock - time to rock Goin’ downtown - gonna hear a little guitar talk
All around the block - we’re all gonna rock Goin’ downtown - goona hear a little guitar talk Hear a little guitar talk Hear a little guitar talk Hear a little guitar talk Hear a little guitar talk
