YIPPY KI YAI Lila McCann
G
Hey pretty boy what's cha pulling on me
C D
Think you've got it all wrapped up
G
Lying in the shade of a Sycamore tree
C D G
Sorry but it just ain't enough
G
You've got to do better then talk the big talk
C D
Occasionally couresty call
G D
I ain't seen roses and I ain't see a thing
C G
What's love got to do with it all
C
If you want to steal a kiss
D
Then you've got to steal a piece of heart
C
You're a pretty little boy But a stumbling fool
D
If you're going for a tumble in the dark
CHORUS:
C D G Em
My Oh My Have you got a lot to learn
A A7
You've got to wrap me up in romance
G
Before you crash and burn
C D Am Em
And If you never call me to blow my heart away
Yippy Ki Yai
G D
(Yippie, yippie, yippie Ki Yai Yippie, yippie, yippie Ki Oh)
G
Wo (If you want to dance to the rhythm of a country girl)
C D G
(Boy, you've fot a long way to go)
G C D
Would it hurt so much to open my door Send me flowers too
G
Cause I believe in the love like the good book says
C D G
Not the gospel according to you
G
You can't two step around step number one
C
And then skip down to three or four
G D
You can't touch me with a ten foot pole
C D G
Til you back off a little bit more
Go to chorus, then bridge,
BRIDGE:
Em
I know what you want and there are times I want it too
D
But I'm looking for a gentlemen who know just what to do.
Em
I can take the boots and jeans and even your beat up cadillac
D
But when it comes to what a woman needs you ain't no Cary Grant.
