(Part 2)

I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway, lookin' for the love getaway 

Headed for the love getaway, love getaway, 


I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20 

So hurry up and bring your jukebox money

Love baby, that's where it's at, 

Love baby, that's where it's at

Play Part 2

Bb -----C------------Bb---C---------------Bb---C---------------Bb---C -- (Play Part 4) 
Well it's set way back in the middle of a field, just a funky old shack and I gotta get back 

Play Part 2 here…(refer to other parts thereafter…etc…)

Glitter on the mattress 
Glitter on the highway 
Glitter on the front porch 
Glitter on the hallway

Chorus:



Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin', wearin' next to nothing 
Cause it's hot as an oven 

The whole shack shimmies! 
The whole shack shimmies when everybody's 
Movin' around and around and around! 

Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby! 
Folks linin' up outside just to get down 

Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby 
Funky little shack! Funky little shack! 

Part 3: (Guitar solo=variations of Part 3 tab)

Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale 
and it's about to set sail! 

I got me a car, it seats about 20 
So come on, and bring your jukebox money. 

(Chorus)

* bang bang on the door baby! 
Knock a little louder baby! 
* bang bang on the door baby! 
I can't hear you..
* bang bang on the door baby! 
Knock a little louder sugar!
* bang bang on the door baby! 
I can't hear you!
5...
6...
7...
You're what?!!!... 

Tin roof, rusted! 

Love baby, that's where it's at 
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin' at the love shack
