VAN HALEN- Tattoo LYRICS

(Tattoo, tattoo)

[Intro solo]

I got Elvis on my elbow
and when I flex Elvis talks
I got hula girls on the back of my leg
and she hula’s when I walk

Speaking cherry red
Screaming electric green
Purple mountains’ majesty
You can talk to me
Talk to me babe!

Housewife to Bomshell in the time it took to get that new tattoo
(Tattoo, tattoo)

(Tattoo, tattoo)
Show me your dragon magic
(Tattoo, tattoo)
So autobiographic

Best believe that needle art machine
Best deceive these true colours that follow one of your false virtues

Tell you a secret to make you think
Why is the the crazy stuff we never said poetry in ink?
Speak in day-glow red, Explodo paint
Purple mountain’s majesty
Tell me you, I’ll show you me

(Tattoo, tattoo)

Woo!
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Sexy dragon magic
(Tattoo, tattoo)
So very autobiographic
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Got a hold on me
(Tattoo, tattoo)
You put a spell on me-eehh

Baby-yeeaahh

[Solo]

Uncle Danny had a gold tattoo
He fought for the unions – some of us still do
On my shoulder is a number of the Chapter he was in
That number is forever like the struggle here to win

Everybody!

(Tattoo, tattoo)
Sexy dragon magic
(Tattoo, tattoo)
So very autobiographic!
(Tattoo, tattoo)
You got a hold on me
(Tattoo, tattoo)
You put a spell on me
(Tattoo, tattoo)
I’m in love with you
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Show me, show me your
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Look at me, look at you!
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Whoa!
