Notes
-
- Nice rocker whose slightly racy tone may have been the reason it was left in the can until the two-fer releases.
- Melody in the verses used in Landlocked-era tune "I Just Got My Pay"
- Opening vocal tag is progression used on "Goin' On" and "Heroes and Villians" outtakes.
- "Dit Dit Dit"'s possibly courtesy of Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow

Well she first caught my eye a runnin' round in shorts
................A7...................................D
But she never bothered with her hair

Just a barefooted chick with all skinned up knees

All summer long she had a crush on me
..........A7.............................D
But I just couldn't care at all
...................D..............................................G
But those new to school threads really did it for her
....................A7..................D
Now she's turned into a doll
...........D................................................G
Goes out every night 'cause she's a sharp little doll
...............A7...............................D
And the guys can't leave her alone
...................D...........................................G
Now she hardly ever finds the time to talk to me
........................A7.................................D
She's not the little girl I've always known
