Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band

Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man

Ballerina, you must have seen her, dancing in the sand

Now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
F Em Dm C Am7
[Verse 2]
C F C F C F F G
Jesus freaks, out in the street, handing out tickets for God
C F C F C F F G
Turning back, she just laughs, the boulevard is not that bad
F Em7 Am7 Dm F C G7
Piano man, he makes his stand, in the auditorium
C F C F C G/D
Looking on, she sings the songs, the words she knows, the tune she hums
F Em Dm Am7

But oh how it feels so real
