1. Valentino's got a booky shop
   Cmi         Eb       Gmi       Gmi
   and what he takes He gives for what he's got
   Cmi           Eb     Gmi         B
   And what he's got he says he has not
   Cmi    Eb         GmiGmi
   Stolen from anyone

   Cmi                    Gmi
   It's not that he don't tell the truth
   Cmi             F
   Or even that he misspent his youth
   Cmi               Gmi
   It's just that he holds the proof
   As                               B
   But you feel there's something's wrong

   Eb                                       Gmi As B
R: Waiting for an alibi, Waiting for an alibi

2. Valentino's in a cold sweat, placed all his money on that last bet
   Against the odds he smokes another cigarette
   Says that it helps him to forget
   That he's a nervous wreck
   
   It's not that he misses much
   Or even that he's lost his lucky touch
   It's just that he gambles so much
   And you know that it's wrong

R: Waiting for an alibi, Waiting for an alibi
   Waiting just to catch your eye
   Waiting for an alibi, Waiting for an alibi
   Try to say I told you I told you

R: Waiting for an alibi
   Waiting just to get you
   Waiting for an alibi
   Waiting for an alibi
   To say I told you
   Waiting for an alibi
   Waiting for an alibi
   Oh mamamama..
