[Instrumental break over verse chords]
[Repeat verse II]

We woulda had fun and plenty of time
We got started just a little bit late [doo-wop]
Hope this won`t be our last date

Repeat Verse III, stretch out last line w/lead guitar.

So simple, but Ricky`s wide-eyed delivery and his crack band both
sound great. Do not play the leads with anything but a Telecaster.
