Em9                          A7
I hear you knockin' but you can't come in
Em9                                A7
You wear your stockings like you think it's a sin
Em9                             A7
Don't try to tell me you ain't been where you been
       G                               B7
'Cause I know that you've been messin' round
with him

Chorus:
        Em9
So slow down
                     A7
(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down)
        Em9
Come on down
                     A7
(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down)
   Em9
Oh down
                     A7
(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down)
  C7      B7       Em7
Before it gets too late
  C7      B7       Em7
Before it gets too late

I met you dancin' at the high school gym
You rubbed against me, my head started to spin
You turned around gave me a wink and a grin
And then you told me that you'd like to be friends

Chorus

(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down) On down
(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down) On down
(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down)
Don't try to tell me
(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down)
You'll never sell me
(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down)
Before it gets too late
I said before it gets too late
You know before it gets too late
Oh, hey
