Rockabilly Poem No.1 - Baby, Give Me Half a Chance

Well I took my baby to the new soda shop

And I put a few coins in the big juke box

I tried to grab her hand but she just said, "Stop."

She said she wasn't ready to do the bop

I said come on baby, come on let's dance

Can't you see you've got me in a trance

I just know my heart won't last 

If you don't give me half a chance

Well I took my baby to the burger shack

I tried to hold her hand but she gave it a whack 

She said, "Take me home, just take me back!"

Yeah my baby wasn't cuttin' me no slack 

I said come on baby, come on let's dance

Can't you see you've got me in a trance

I just know my heart won't last 

If you don't give me half a chance

Well I took my baby to the drive-in show

I tried to hold her hand but she said, "No no."

We've got to take things nice and slow

Just let this romance take a natural flow

I said come on baby, come on let's dance

Can't you see you've got me in a trance

I just know my heart won't last 

If you don't give me half a chance

Well I took my baby to a big bandstand

And though the band was playing something grand

Things weren't going quite as planned 

Then my baby grabbed ME by the hand 

And she said

Come on baby, come on let's dance

Can't you see you've got me in a trance

I just know my heart won't last 

If you don't give me half a chance

That's right

My baby finally gave me half a chance

My baby finally gave me half a chance
