It was short on the sides and short in the back
Shined in the dark, the color was black
With a pompadour up to the sky
And a wave that would make a surfer cry
New rockabilly guy's in town

He had a pack of Luckys rolled in his sleeve
And a belt buckle from '53,
Shiny black boots and a Gretsch guitar
All eyes were on him, he stepped to the bar
New rockabilly guy's in town

He drank a bottle of mescal and ate the worm
The lead guitarist started to squirm
The singer he began to choke
Told the punchline, left out the joke
New rockabilly guy's in town

His lip was in a permanent curl
He was eyein' every girl
He started to dance and his hair didn't move
0n his arm he had an Elvis tattoo
New rockabilly guy's in town

The guys in the band were wonderin' why
They couldn't outdo this rockabilly guy
Then he found a girl and began to romance her
And they drove away in his Nissan Stanza
New rockabilly guy's in town
