G (add 6 in Chuck Berry style)
Valerie--You give me heart attack

Valarie--you put me on the rack

You say that I'm history, you say I'm nod

Then you want to be two babes in the wood
G           D      C          Em
That's what I call playing to the gallery
    Em   D    C               G
I'm wait wait waiting Valerie

Valerie--She's a scarn here
Valerie--She'sd in her ear
A figure like this, lips like that
Red fingernails, teeth like a cat
She never getse till five orr or three
I'm wait wait waiting Valerie

    Em
I'm soft in the head, I give her hard cash
    G
She spends all my money on junk and trash
Em
Nylon fur, plastic shoes
D
And fifty-seven things she's neverng to use
D
Never, never, neverng to use

Valerie--you'reng to choke or drown
Valerie--Why't you put thatn
If you't get over this eating jag
They'reng to take youe in ay bag
I can't stand to see one more calorie
I'm wait wait waiting Valerie

Every time I turn my back
She's round thener looking a crack
It'sng to be the ruin of me
I'm running on nervous energy

Valerie--she want to move out of town
Valerie--she want the moneyn
She want leopard-skin this, tigerskin that
Matching luggage, lipstick, hat
I can't afford her on my salary
I'm wait, wait, waiting Valerie
