Findin' a job tomorrow mornin'
Got a little somethin' I wanna do
Gonna buy (gonna buy) somethin' I could ride in
a-Take my girl (take my girl) datin' at the drive-in
Our love's gonna be written down in history
a-Just like Romeo and Juliet

I'm gonna buy her pretty presents
Just like the ones in a catalog
Gonna show (gonna show) how much I love
Let 'er know (let 'er know) one way or the other
Our love's gonna be written down in history
a-Just like Romeo and Juliet

(ooh-ooh-oop)
(dooo, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doo-doop)


<sax instrumental with backups doing four "Just like Romeo and Juliet" 's

Talk about love and romance
Just wait till I get myself straight
*I'm a-gonna put Romeo's fame
Right smack-dab outta date*

Ah, all right, now, I'm speculatin'
Wonder what tomorrow's gonna really bring
If I don't (if I don't) find work tomorrow
It's gonna be (gonna be) heartaches 'n' sorrow
Our love's gonna be destroyed like a tragedy
Just like Romeo and Juliet

(ooh-ooh-oop)
(dooo, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doo-doop)

Just like Romeo and Juliet
a-Just like Romeo and Juliet
a-Just like Romeo and Juliet
a-Just like Romeo and Juliet

FADE

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: Words inside asterisks were very hard to decipher so I 
reverted to the sheet music.  In that the singer is bragging how he'll be
such a lover after he gets himself straight, it makes sense that he would be
talking of being a greater lover than Romeo--essentially putting Romeo's
fame "right smack-dab outta date."
