Verse
G A
Well, I was out at the Long Branch, and I was talkin? to this girl.
C D
And every hound dog in the joint was sniffing around her.
G A
I was playing it slow and cool, being the gentleman that I am.
C D
Well, then this grease ball with long black slick back hair
G A
Struts right up to her like I wasn?t even standing there.
C D
He looks her up and down and cocks his eyebrow and he says, "Baby, damn."
G
How do you get in those jeans?
A
Mercy you looking fine.
C D
How do you get in those jeans baby, and tell me how do I?
Verse
G A
She looked at him and smiled and said I thought you?d never ask.
C D
He looked at me and said that?s how that?s done son, just like that.
G A
I wanted to be mad at him, but to tell you the truth I was really kinda impressed.
C D
He said you might get slapped 9 times out of 10,
G A
but there?s always one that wants a no B.S. kinda man.
C D

G
How do you get in those jeans?

Mercy you looking fine.

How do you get in those jeans baby, and tell me how do I? (I sure did)

You see, uh, turns out the girl that I propositioned had man, with a chip on his
shoulder and blunt object in his hand,
C A
who proceeded to express his disapproval of the lines that I crossed.

Well, they told me I could leave, so I put my clothes back on.
C D
I stumbled past the waiting room just minding my own.
