"A Story Everybody Knows"

"A Story Everybody Knows"


Went to a party
The New York style
I met a lady
Make a sane man wild
She said the words only her lips could say
She made me want to throw my life away
But when I asked her
She said "Maybe tomorrow, B.B."
And that's a story everybody knows

I took her flying
Out across the sea
I thought I had her
I know that she had me
And when we landed
It was Paris, France
Seemed like a nice place
For some French romance
But when I touched her
She said "Maybe a little later, B.B."
And that's the story everybody knows

We went to Berlin
And to Stockholm too
And on the Moscow
Then to the Peking Zoo
As far as travel, she couldn't get too much
Somewhere in Oakland
She let me have just a little touch
And then she said "I'm late for beauty appointment,
I've got a headache, And I believe I'm coming down with the flu"
And that's the story everybody knows

"Actions Speak Louder Than Words"

"Actions Speak Louder Than Words"


You won't listen to nothing I tell you, baby
You keep on doing just as you please
Hey, you won't do nothing I tell you, baby
Keep on doing as you please
I've taken as long as I can, baby
When is this foolishness gonna cease
I've worried myself crazy, baby
Cried both night and day
I said I've worried myself crazy, baby
Cried both night and day
You don't believe me, baby
But I'm gonna leave one of these days
Well, you told me that you love me
But actions speak louder than words
Oh, you said you love me, baby
But action speaks louder than words
I won't be fooled no longer, baby
That line everybody's heard
Well, If you're gonna change, baby
You better do it real soon
Hey, If you're gonna change
For the better, baby
You better do it real soon
Because you'll wake up one of these mornings
Find yourself in a empty room

"Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens"

"Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens"


One night farmer Brown was takin' the air
Locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care
Down in the hen house something stirred
When he shouted, "Who's there?"
This is what he heard
There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So calm yourself and stop that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
We chickens tryin' to sleep and you butt in
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, with your chin
There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
You're stompin' around and shakin' the ground
Kicking up an awful dust
We chickens tryin' to sleep and you butt in
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, it's a sin

Tomorrow is a busy day
We got things to do, we got eggs to lay
We got ground to dig and worms to scratch
It takes a lot of sittin', gettin' chicks to hatch
Oh, there ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So quiet yourself and stop that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
Kindly point the gun the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay

Tomorrow is a busy day
We got things to do, we got eggs to lay
We got ground to dig and worms to scratch
It takes a lot of sittin', gettin' chicks to hatch
Oh, there ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So quiet yourself and stop that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
Kindly point the gun the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay

Hey, hey boss man, what do you say?
It's easy, pickins, there ain't nobody here but us chickens

"Ain't Nobody Like My Baby"

"Ain't Nobody Like My Baby"


I'm in love with a real fine woman and she gives me everything
I said I'm in love with a real fine woman and she gives me everything
And it makes me feel so good, just to hear my baby call my name

My baby's sly way of loving, makes me feel so good I could sing
Hey my baby's sly way of loving, makes me feel so good I could sing
I feel just like I'm a millionaire, when I hear my baby call my name

Oh, there ain't nobody like my baby, that's the reason I love her so
Oh, ain't nobody, nobody like my baby, that's the reason I love her so
People, I would even die for her, I want the whole round world to know

When I'm down she'll picks me up, she says, "Daddy, you can't lose"
Oh, when I'm down, when I'm down, she picks me up, tells me, "Baby, you can't lose"
When all of my friends forget about me, my baby keeps away all these blues

"Ain't That Just Like A Woman"

"Ain't That Just Like A Woman"


There was Adam, happy as a man could be
Till Eve got him messin' with that old apple tree

Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

Lot took his wife down to the corner for a malted
She wouldn't mind her business, boy, did she get salted

Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time
Samson thought Delilah was on the square
Till one night she clipped him all his hair

Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

From our history books we all learned
Nero fiddled while Rome was burned

Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

Marie Antoinette met some hungry cats at the gate
They was crying for bread, she said, "Let them eat cake"

Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

You can buy a woman clothes
And give her money on the side
No matter what you do
She ain't never satisfied
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

"Always On My Mind"
(originally by Brenda Lee)



Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I should have
Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I could have
If I made you feel second best
Girl, I'm so sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
Girl, I'm so happy that you're mine

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To satisfy, I'll keep you satisfied

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, I'll keep you satisfied

"Any Other Way"

"Any Other Way"


Caught me in, in the palm of your hand
I'm right where you knew that I would land
So, baby, if you'll love me everyday
I wouldn't want it, I wouldn't have it any other way

You make me jump like a puppy on a string
But when I'm in your arms I feel like a king
So, baby, if you'll love me everyday
I wouldn't want it, I wouldn't have it
I wouldn't want it any other way

Take my lips, my arms, darling, take all of me
You can do what you please but just don't set me free
Baby, if you'll love me everyday
I wouldn't want it, I wouldn't have it
I wouldn't want it any other way

You know I wouldn't want it, baby
I wouldn't have it, baby in any other way
Just tell me you love me
All I wanna hear from you, baby

I don't want it any other way
Baby, I wouldn't want it any other way
Just say you love me because I need it
Don't wanna have it any other way

"Army Of The Lord"


I'm a soldier (in the army of the Lord)
I'm a soldier (in the army)
I'm a soldier (in the army of the Lord)
I'm a soldier (in the army)

Well, I've got a mother, in the promised land
Not gonna stop, till I shake her righteous hand
I am weak, but Thou art strong
Jesus got the power, for the right and the wrong
Keep on walking, up the narrow way
One of these days, you're gonna hear me say

I'm a soldier (in the army of the Lord)
I'm a soldier (in the army)
Yes, I'm a soldier (in the army of the Lord)

Well, I've been to the river, been baptized
Soul is anchored in Jesus, feel alright
You can believe, I've been redeemed
Come and go with with me brother, to the ...

I'm a soldier (in the army of the Lord)

I am working for my Lord (in the army of the Lord)
I am working for my Lord (in the army)


I'm a soldier (in the army of the Lord)
I'm a soldier (in the army)

Well, I went in the valley, didn't go to stay
Truth got me happy brother, way down deep
My hand got stuck, to the gospel plow
I wouldn't take nothin', for my journey right now

I'm a soldier (in the army of the Lord)
I'm a soldier (in the army)
I am fighting for my Lord (in the army of the Lord)
I am fighting for my Lord (in the army)

Hey, I'm a soldier (in the army of the Lord)
I'm a soldier (in the army)

"As Used In The Film Species II"


Hey, everybody, let's have some fun
You only live but once
And when you're dead you're done, so
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll
Don't sit there mumblin', talkin' trash
If you want to have a ball
You gotta go out and spend some cash, and
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll
Hey Mr. landlord, lock up all the doors
When the police comes around
Just tell 'em that the joint is closed
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll
Hey tell everybody
Mr. king's in town
I got a dollar and a quarter
Just rarin' to clown
But don't let nobody play me cheap
I got fifty cents more that I'm gonna keep, so
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll
No matter whether rainy weather
Birds of a feather gotta stick together
So get yourself under control
Go out and get together and let the good times roll

"B.B. Blues"

"B.B. Blues"


If you love me, baby
Why don't you write me sometime
If you, if you love me, baby
Why don't you let me
Hear from you sometime
You don't do nothing
But keep me worried
You just keep me worried
All the time
You know I think about you, baby
I think about you
Every night about this time
Oh you know, you know
You know I think about you, baby
I think about you
Every night about this time
It seems like you would treat me
A little better, baby
It seems like you would be
A little nicer and kind
Let me love you one more time, baby
Let me love you one more time
Before you go away
Let me, let me love you
One more time, baby
One more time before you go away
If you let me love you one more time
I think we can talk it over
Before you go away
Here I am, baby
My heart's right here in my hand
Oh here I am, baby
My heart's right here in my hand
Oh I don't want you to leave me, baby
Don't want you to go
To no other man
