D boogie woogie walking bass

This thing / called love / I just can’t handle it

This thing / called love / I must get round to it

I ain’t ready / Crazy little thing called love

This thing (this thing) / Called love (called love)

It cries (like a baby) / In a cradle all night

It swings (woo woo) / It jives (woo woo)

It shakes all over like a jelly fish

I kinda like it / Crazy little thing called love

(melody starts on “D”)

G C

There goes my baby / She knows how to rock ‘n’ roll

G E

She drives me crazy / She gives me hot and cold fever

A

Then she leaves me in a cool cool sweat

Accapella (with clapping):

I gotta be cool, / relax, / get hip / And get on my track’s

Take a / back seat, / hitch-hike / And take a long ride on my motorbike

Until I’m ready / Crazy little thing called love

I gotta be cool, / relax, / get hip

And get on my track’s

Take a back seat, hitch-hike

And take a long ride on my motorbike

Until I’m ready (ready Freddie)

Crazy little thing called love

This thing called love I just can’t handle it

This thing called love I must get round to it

I ain’t ready / Crazy little thing called love

Crazy little thing called love yeah yeah (ad nauseum)
