That's how he got that crazy sound
Heard he came from Memphis

Go man go
She said, “He's so good lookin', that's a fact
The girls all know he's Way Cool Jr.”

Way Cool Jr.

You know you can't have fire without the flame

Way Cool Jr.
You can't keep the fortune without the pain
That's how he makes it when he's on his own

Steel guitars run across his back

You don't live it up or never live it down
You know you can't have fire without the flame
Stop working on the women it's on real slick
He's the hottest thing to ever hit this town
The girls all know he's Way Cool Jr.”

Way Cool Jr.
She said, “He's so good lookin' and that's a fact
