Shining Like a Chandelier

Intro

One, two...

Straighten your collar, grease back your hair...

The Chandeliers are in the house.

Verse

I got a pocket full of nickels and a cherry red ride,

Black and white TV, and I'm full of pride.

I know every answer, don't you even try,

If you're wrong, I'll tell you before you ask me why.

I'm king of the soda shop, coolest cat in town,

When I walk the hallway, everybody looks down.

You can call me boss, you can call me dear,

'Cause nobody shines like a chandelier.

Chorus

We're shining like a chandelier,

Bright enough to light the atmosphere.

From the jukebox beat to the Cadillac gear,

Everybody stares when The Chandeliers appear.

We're shining like a chandelier,

Smooth as Brylcreem, loud and crystal clear.

You can keep your cool, but the truth's right here—

Nobody shines like a chandelier.

Verse

Got my letterman sweater and my penny loafers on,

I tell the DJ which record belongs.

If you think you're slick, well that's pretty cute,

I'll school you quicker than a telephone booth.

I know every dance from the stroll to the bop,

You can try to keep up, but you'll never reach the top.

I ain't being mean... that's what I always say,

While I bump your milkshake halfway down the tray.

Bridge

Hey, jukebox, spin it one more time,

The world keeps moving but I'm always right.

The girls all sigh, the fellas roll their eyes,

Still they gather 'round when it's Saturday night.

Chorus

We're shining like a chandelier,

Swinging high from another great year.

Sock hops, chrome, and root beer cheer,

Everybody's humming when The Chandeliers are near.

We're shining like a chandelier,

Too cool to whisper, too bold to fear.

Love us or hate us, you'll still hear—

The brightest bunch around...

The Chandeliers
