       I hate to face your dad

       Too bad [too bad]

       I know he's gonna be mad

       

       It's late [it's late]

       We been gone too long

       

       [Instrumental break over verse chords]

       [Repeat verse II]

       

       If we coulda left home by a quarter to nine

       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.
