F# D#m
Oh, Jessica WJ
A#m F#
Playing bass riffs, 1998

In stories told
As Elizabeth, if you had only ever known
[Chorus 1]
F# D#m
Jessica, Jessica, Jessica, Jessica WJ
I don't know why I kept
A#m
Running, and running, and running, and running, and running away
See I like you but

Jessica, Jessica, Jessica I made a mistake
A#m
You wrote your number on a letter and I threw it away
(Shake, shake, shake, whoa-oa-oa)

A# scorpion and a scorpio
I'm moonwalking like an Eskimo
Singing oh, oh, oh (yuh!)

Surf was down and the surf was up

We're going downtown, baby
That's where we want to go
D#m
I got a map and rolled down the windows
A#m
She says "hey," I say "it's beautiful"
(Shake, shake, shake, whoa-oa-oa)
[Chorus 2]
F#
We're going downtown, baby
That's where we want to go
D#m
I got a map and rolled down the windows

She says "hey," I say "it's beautiful"
(Shake, shake, shake, whoa-oa-oa)

G#m A#m Cb
A# human cannonball
G#m
His cape hung red, white, blue

Now all that's left is the fall
But the feeling doesn't die
[Chorus 1]
