Lyrics and Chords


[Capo 2]

Well, he went down to dinner in his Sunday best
Excitable boy, they all said
And he rubbed the pot roast all over his chest
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy

/ D - G - / Em Bm G D / : / A - D - /

He took in the four a.m. show at the Clark
Excitable boy, they all said
And he bit the usherette's leg in the dark
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy

Ooh, wa-ooh, oo-ooh, excitable boy
Ooh, wa-ooh, oo-ooh, excitable boy

He took little Susie to the Junior Prom
   Ooh, wa-ooh
Excitable boy, they all said
   Oo-ooh, excitable boy
And he raped her and killed her, then he took her home
   Ooh, wa-ooh
Excitable boy, they all said
   Oo-ooh, excitable boy
Well, he's just an excitable boy

After ten long years they let him out of the home
Excitable boy, they all said
   Oo-ooh, excitable boy
And he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones
Excitable boy, they all said
   Oo-ooh, excitable boy
Well, he's just an excitable boy

Ooh, wa-ooh, oo-ooh, excitable boy
Ooh, wa-ooh, oo-ooh, excitable boy
