                                    D 
Jessico, don't ya know, you're the stars in our eyes 
            C             Cadd9          D            G 
You're the rhythm and the blues and the tears that we cry 
                                    D 
Jessico, don't ya know, that you've come as no surprise 
            C     D                Cadd9   D      G 
And you'll dance away with all the pretty girls tonight 
 
 
Em                                D 
He was raised up right, straight from the dollar store 
Em                                 C                  D 
He worked for every nickel and he knew what they were for 
Em                                     D 
He dropped them in the jukebox as he danced across the floor 
C                                     D                  G 
Fire flew from his tap shoes as the crowd called out for more 
 
CHORUS 
Yeehaw 
 
SOLO 
 
One day the lawmen came and they took away his shoes 
Locked him behind the big wall cause he wouldn't hear the news 
The times they are a changin' but Ol' Jesse never will 
Jessico and Elvis will always own the hills 
 
CHORUS 
 
Jessico don't ya know that you come as no surprise 
And you'll dance away with all the pretty girls tonight, yeehaw
