  • Oh
    Oh

    New kid in town
    Got fancy clothes
    Old T-Bird car, baby
    And you can tell your nose
    He said, "Where is all the action in this town?"

    Stop working on the women
    It's on real slick
    Heard enough about sin, girl
    Gonna make it stick
    Hey! What makes him so special anyhow?

    She said, "So good lookin', that's a fact
    Steel guitars run across his back"
    The girls all know he's Way Cool Jr.

    Check him out on his good side

    Heard he came from Memphis
    Somewhere down south
    Started hangin' with the blues crowd
    That's how he got that crazy sound
    What is all this talkin' goin' round?

    She said, "So good lookin', turns me on"
    Out all night, keeps me up 'til dawn"
    The girls all know he's Way Cool Jr.

    You know you can't have fire without the flame
    Can't keep the fortune without the pain
    That's how he makes it when he's on his own

    Way Cool Jr.
    You don't live it up or never live it down
    Way Cool Jr.
    He's the hottest thing to ever hit this town

    Go man go

    She said, "So good lookin' and that's a fact
    Steel guitar scratched off the back"
    Everybody knows it's Way Cool Jr.

    You know you can't have fire without the flame
    Can't keep the fortune without the pain
    That's how he makes it when he's on his own

    Way Cool Jr.
    Always comin' 'round the bend
    Way Cool Jr.
    He's gonna live it up or never live it down
    Way Cool Jr.
