G# D#
I'm the hippiest number in town and I'll tell you why,
G# D#
I'm the snappiest dresser right down to my inch wide tie,
A# D#
And to get you wise I'll explain it to you,
G# D#
A few of the things that a face is supposed to do.
G# D#
I wear zoot suit jacket with side vents five inches long,
G# D#
I have two-tone brogues yeah you know this is wrong.
A# D#
But the main thing is unless you're a fool,
G# D#
Ah you know you gotta know, yeah you know, yeah you gotta be cool.

G# D#
So all you tickets I just want you to dig me,
G# D#
With my striped zoot jacket that the sods can plainly see,
A# D#
So the action lies with all of you guys,
G# D#
Is how you look in the other, the other, yeah, the other cat's eye.
Well don't you see, well don't you see, well don't you see now,
Well don't you see now, come on baby, 'cause don't you see now...

Comments to:
bleicher@who.net
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official HIGH NUMBERS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
