[Verse 1]
F      C     F          C    F              C   G 
On our block all of the guys call her flam..in..go.
F         G           F        C
Cause her hair glows, like the sun.
C   F   G        F         C
And her eyes can light the sky.
F        C         F        C     F            C   G 
When she walks she moves so fine, like a flam..in..go.
F       G          F         C
Crimson dress that clings so tight.
C     F      G         F      C
She's out of reach and out of sight.

[Chorus]
C              F       G                C
When she walks by, she brightens up the neighbourhood.
C         F         G                C
Oh, every guy would make her his, if he just could,
   G
if she just would.

[Verse 2]
F          C   F             C     F            C   G
Some sweet day I'll make her mine, pretty flam..in..go.
F    G              C                    G       F          C
Then every guy will envy me, cause para..dise is where I'll be.
C           F       C   F            C   G
La, la, la..la, la, la, pretty flam..in..go.
C           F       C   F            C   G
La, la, la..la, la, la, pretty flam..in..go.

[Chorus]
C              F       G                C
When she walks by, she brightens up the neighbourhood.
C         F         G                C
Oh, every guy would make her his, if he just could,
   G
if she just would.

[Verse 3]
F          C   F             C     F            C   G
Some sweet day I'll make her mine, pretty flam..in..go.
F    G              C                    G       F          C
Then every guy will envy me, cause para..dise is where I'll be.
