Rock'n'roll crashed down on Planet Earth without a warning half a century ago and, despite repeated assaults from as numerous as short-lived other types of music, it has carried on unruffled its own sweet way. Like it or not, rock is not dead and the Crybabys are the living proof that it is still alive and kicking. But how else could it be when you know that the band is composed of the legendary Honest John Plain (co-founder of The Boys and punk rock icon)

B E F# B F#
B E F# B
[Verse 1]
B
Well I thought I'd do the right thing
E
And just hang around 'n a bar, well--
F#
Hopin' that you might show
E F#
But it never got that far
B
Well, my plans they stunk and I wound up drunk
E
I really got the point
F#
Two black eyes and broken nose
E F#
And a night down in the joint
[Chorus]
B
I went to staggerin’ lengths
E
I went to staggerin’ lengths
F#
I went to staggerin’ lengths
B F#
To get on back with you
B
Baby, you know it makes sense
G#m
I’d go to any expense
B
I go to staggering lengths
F# B F#
To get on back with you
[Verse 2]
B
Now if I took a trip up to the moon
E
Yeah, hung around on Mars
F#
And whil'd away some hours
E F#
Droppin' bricks on top of some cars
B
Well I wound up broke and I gave up hope
E
I got an earhole and a guitar
F#
And I can get myself out of anything
E F#
Except myself out of this bar
[Chorus]
B
I go to staggerin’ lengths
E
I go to staggerin’ lengths
F#
I go to staggerin’ lengths

To get on back with you-- I'm leavin'!
[Instrumental]
B E F# E F#
B E F# E F#
[Refrain]
B
The police stood in my doorway
E
Her clothes draped on his head
F#
I left the talkin' to Honest
E F#
And hid under the bed
B
He said “one more peep out of you Son,
E
And we’ll have you banged to rights”
F#
And those few words were all that I heard
E F#
As they sped off into the night
[Chorus]
B
I went t' staggerin’ lengths
E
I went to staggerin’ lengths
F#
I went to staggerin’ lengths
