"Shake Rattle & Roll"

"Shake Rattle & Roll"


Well get out from that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans
Get out from that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans
Well roll my breakfast 'cause I'm a hungry man

When you wear those dresses the sun comes shinin' through
When you wear those dresses the sun comes shinin' through
I can't believe my eyes, all of this belongs to you

I said shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll
Well you never do nothin' to save your doggone soul

Way over the hill and wigged out underneath
Way over the hill and wigged out underneath
You make me roll my eyes baby make me grit my teeth

I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a sea-food store
I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a sea-food store
I can look at you tell you don't love me no more

"She Once Was Mine"

"She Once Was Mine"


I had a fine looking woman,
Who lived way 'cross this man's town
I had a fine looking woman,
And I lived on the other side of town
Every time I was with her
She didn't want no-one else around

She was once my little girlfriend
And I was truly once her man
She was once my little girlfriend
And I was truly once her man
I bought her anything she wanted
And laid it right down in her hand

You know I still love her,
I'll do anything she told me to
You know I still love her truly,
Do anything she'll tell me to
I can't stop thinking about her
And all the sweet things we used to do

I cried "oh Lord have mercy,
What wrong have I done?"
I cried "oh Lord have mercy,
What wrong have I done?"
The only girl I ever loved
I lost her to some other one

"Some People"

"Some People"


Some people live each week in fun and play
From sweat by you and by me
While we must toil so long each day
Just to stay alive and free

Some people live in homes, so content and reposed
Unrushed through all the woe
While we share that woe
With those who have no woe at all

Some people live with much and care the least
If war should end or stay
While we, with less, pay more for peace
Uum, why should it be this way?

Oh, the day's sure to come
When we would have to live
In love and peace and happiness
And we will have the will to love
And to give to those who do have less

"Soul Rockin'"

"Soul Rockin'"


Moving out to California, I've been living in Missouri too long
When the sun sets tomorrow your soul rocking love'll be gone
And I really doubt that I'll be back because I'm taking everything that I own

Bright lights, big city, I am ready, ready, ready for you
Bye-bye, Alma Mater, I've got to see what I can do
Just tell the folks back home I'm on a soul rocking rendezvous

No more yak-a-ty yak-a-ty, farewell, my best to you
You know you kept on teasing me just to see what I would do
Now, I've got a soul rocker baby, see if you can get yourself one, too

Oh, soul rocking, baby, you know you make my head act up
Oh, send me, send me, deliver me into your world
Let me loose, let me live, let me love a soul rocking girl

"South Of The Border"

"South Of The Border"


South of the border - down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love, where the stars above - came out to play
And now as I wander - my thoughts ever stray
South of the border - down Mexico way

She was a picture - in old Spanish lace
Just for a tender while, I kissed a smile - upon her face
'Cause it was fiesta - and we were so gay
South of the border - Mexico way

Then she smiled as she whispered "manjanna"
Never dreaming that we were parting
Then I lied as a whispered "manjanna"
'Cause our tomorrow never came

South of the border - I jumped back one day
There in a veil of white, by the candle light - she knelt to pray
The mission bells told me (ding-dong) - that I musn't stay
South of the border - Mexico way

"St. Louis Blues"

"St. Louis Blues"


I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
'Cause the woman I'm loving, she has left this town

If I'm feeling tomorrow just like I feel today
If I'm feeling tomorrow just like I feel today
I'm gonna pack my bags and make a getaway

St. Louis woman without your diamond ring
If you didn't have good looks, you wouldn't mean a thing
If it was not for powder and your super hair
Without the man who loves you, you wouldn't get nowhere...

I got the St. Louis blues, blue as I can be
I got the St. Louis blues, blue as I can be
You know I love you, but you don't care for me

I got the St. Louis blues, blue as I can be
I got the St. Louis blues, blue as I can be
You know I love you, but you don't care for me
I got the St. Louis blues, blue as I can be

"Still Got The Blues"

"Still Got The Blues"


How many times have you heard this song
If I had what he has my blues would be gone
But I got the blues, still got the blues for you

I could have been happy with fortune and fame
I had everything that a poor man could name
I but I still got the blues, I got the blues for you

Searching all over, thinking I'd find
Someone who'd even give me peace of mind
Talking the unknown out of my head
Can't even remember a thing that I said

Give me a chance and take me back
You'll see a change in the way I act
Cause I got the blues, nothing but the blues for you

Searching all over, and thinking I'd find
Someone who'd even give me peace of mind
Talking the unknown out of my head
Just can't remember a thing that I said

Give me a chance and take me back
And you'll see a change in the way I act
And I won't have the blues, no-no blues

"Stop And Listen"

"Stop And Listen"


Stop and listen, I hear my baby call my name.
Stop and listen, I hear my baby call my name.
She don't call too loud, but she calls, ooh, nice and plain.

Stop and listen, before you make a start.
Stop and listen, before you make a start.
Because if you fall in love, it may break your heart.

I love my baby, I'll tell the world I do.
I love you, baby, I'll tell the world I do.
And they'll just have to stop and listen to everything for you.

"Sue Answer"

"Sue Answer"


If I don't get a letter from Sue tomorrow I'm a catch the next eastbound je-je-je-jet
I done write her four wrotes now in a row and I ain't got nare a heard ye-ye-ye-yet

I write Sue an' told her if I don't see somethin' soon
I'm a-have ta start sneckin' in d-d-d-d-d-d-doors
She write back and say, if you don't send somethin' soon
I'm a-have to sell somethin' of y-y-y-y-y-yours

Sue don't allow me to m-m-mess around
She say the folks back home begin to t-t-t-t-talk
I got to get my reputation b-b-back again
And settle down and start walkin' the ch-ch-ch-ch-chalk

What be lookin' good to d'goose
Is gotta be groovy to d'g-g-g-g-gand
Two birdies in a bush ain't worth as much as one
Twitchin' right there in yo' h-h-hand

I sent Sue somethin' so I b-b-be safe
She write and say I mighty nigh b-b-b-blew it
It won't matter which one wh-what you do
It b-be's in the way dat you d-d-d-d-d-do it

"Sweet Little Rock & Roller"

"Sweet Little Rock & Roller"


She's 9 years old and sweet as she can be
All dressed up like a downtown christmas tree
Dancin' and hummin' a rock-roll melody

She's the daughter of a well-respected man
Who taught her how to judge and understand
Since she became a rock-roll music fan

Sweet little rock and roller, sweet little rock and roller
Her daddy don't have to scold her, her mother can't hardly hold her
She never gets any older, sweet little rock and roller

Should've seen her eyes when the band began to play
And the famous singers sang and barred away
When the stars performed, she screamed and yelled "hooray!"

Ten thousand eyes were watching them leave the floor
Five thousand tongues were screaming "more! more!"
And about 15 hundred waitin' outside the door

Sweet little rock and roller, sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller, sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller, sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller, sweet little rock and roller...
