C#
Hey! Look out for that moving van
A#m C#
Driving down our streets
You better lock up your man
G#
Before he meets
C#
The new girl in town
A#m
Who just came on the scene
C#
The new girl in town
A#m
Can't be more than sixteen
F#
And she's got a way of makin'
C#
A boy act like a clown
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
G# F#
We don't know what to do
C#
'Bout the new girl in town
G#
C#
The new girl in town
A#m
Seems to dance on air
C#
The new girl in town
A#m
She's got the coolest hair
F#
You better tell the homecoming queen
C#
To hold on to her crown
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
G# F#
Or she's gonna lose it to
C#
The new girl in town
C#7
F# C#
She's hip, so cool
F# C#
I'm gonna get her after school!
F# C#
And yet we'd like to be like her
D#7 G#
'Cause she's the kitten that the cats prefer
A --
Ladies, step aside!
D
The new girl in town
Bm
Has my guy on a string
D
The new girl in town

Hey look she's wearing his ring
G7
I can't stop crying and so
D
In my own tears I'm gonna drown
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
A G7
Cause he wants to rendezvous
With the new girl
D G7
We're kinda sad and blue
Yes it's true girl
A
We'd like to say...
D
To the new girl in town
Bm
D
The new girl in town
Bm D
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Bm
From out of the blue girl
D
This town's in a stew girl
What a hullabaloo girl
Bm D
She ain't just passing through girl
Bm
She's sticking like glue girl
To the man I though I knew girl
D
Whoa whoa whoa whoa

Hey look out for that moving van
Look out, look out. Look out, look out
She was...the new girl in town
