"Jukebox"

"Jukebox"


...I'll fake it
But some how-a old Jerry comes through
Sometimes I feel like I, I just can't take it
But somehow the Killer comes through
Ye-aah

I was born in Ferriday, Lou'siana
Lord, I was born feet first
Come out jumpin', been jumpin'ever since
Lord, I know how to take it
Oh, the Killer's gotta come through

Pick your guitar, fella

Born on the farm in Lou'siana
Lord, I had a hard time choppin' that cotton
Ooooooh, mama used to say
'Son, I'm gonna get ya a piano
'And you may turn out to be rotten'
But I didn't

Ooh, I'm gonna make it
I gotta make it
'Look out son, you might get yourself in trouble'
But I didn't
Woo-hoo!
Turned out good!
What am I gonna do now?
Wouldn't know if I could

Take it, son

New Orleans, Louisiana
Found me a little Cajun queen
We were doin' pretty good
One night she shook that thing
And then we vowed to marry, Lord
What a big mistake, I made it
But, I'll make it wait and see

Woo! Give it to me, now

C'mon, I gotta make it
Wooo-wooo-wooo-ooo!
I hear ya
Just layin' it in, hangin' it in
A-like Gunga Dinh

Woo!

Pick it, son!

Ooh, the floor is shakin' with that juke box
And ev'rybody is singin', 'yeah-yeah-yeah'
Woo!

Do ya love me baby?
Don't you think I'm out of sight?
Mama, she rolls but she don't roll right
Think about it, umm

The town is burnin' with the heat wave
The weather broadcast keeps sayin'
Fine, fine, fine, fine

Do ya love me baby?
Don't ya think I'm outta sight?
Mama, she rolls but she don't roll all night
Yeah

Yes, the town is burnin' with the heat wave
The weather broadcast keeps sayin'
Fine, fine, fine
Do you love me, baby?
Don't you think I'm outta sight?
Oh mama, she rolls, but she don't roll right

Play it organ, stud! Ho!

The floor is shakin' with the juke box
And ev'rybody is singin' ha, ' yeah-yeah-yeah'
Do ya love me baby?
Do you think I'm outta sight?
Mama, she rolls, but she don't roll right

[Jerry Lee yodles a verse]

Well mama, she rolls, but she don't roll right.

"Just A Bummin' Around"

"Just A Bummin' Around"


I got an ol' slouch hat,
Got my roll on my shoulder
I'm as free as a breeze
An' do as I please,
Just a bummin' around...

Gotta million friends,
I don't feel any older
I've got nothin' to lose
Not even the blues,
Just a bummin' around...

Whenever worries start
To botherin' me (start botherin' me!)
I grab my coat, my ol' slouch hat,
Hit the trail again,
You see...

I ain't got a dime,
Don't care where I'm goin'
I'm as free as a breeze
An' do as I please,
Just a bummin' around!

I hit the trail again,
You see...

I ain't got a dime,
Don't care where I'm goin'
I'm as free as a breeze
An' do as I please,
Just a bummin' around...

Just a bummin' around...
Just a bummin' around...
Just a bummin' around...

"Just Because"

"Just Because"


Now just because you think you're so pretty and you ain't pretty
And just because you think you're so hot honey you ain't hot
And just because you think that you got somethin'
Honey you ain't got nothin' but nobody at all ain't got
Honey you may now honey you may spend up all my money
You may call me on the telephone
But I'm tellin' you good gal I'm through with you
Just because baby just because

Well well well just because you think you're so pretty
And just because your mama thinks you're hot
Well just because you think you've got somethin' that no other girls has got
You've caused me to spend all of my money
You laughed when they called me old Santa Claus
Well I'm tellin' you baby I'm through with you because baby just because

Oh there'll come a day when you'll be lonely
And there'll come a day when you'll be blue
There'll come a day when you gonna want ol' Jerry Lee
Start to play piano and play it around with you
But I got news for you baby ain't gonna play anything heaven knows
I'm tellin' you honey I was through with you
Just because just because just because just because just because
Just because just because just because just because
Just because baby just because

"Keep Me From Blowing Away"

"Keep Me From Blowing Away"


Well I spent my whole lifetime
In a world where the sunshine
Finds excuses for not hangin' 'round
I squandered emotions
On the slightest of notions
And the first easy loving I found
But soon all the good times
The gay times and play times
Like colors run together and fade
Oh Lord if you hear me
Touch me and hold me
And keep me from blowing away
There's times when I trembled
When my mind remembered
The days that just crumbled away
With nothing to show
But these lines that I know
Are beginning to show in my face
Oh Lord if you're listening
I know I'm no Christian
And I ain't got much coming to me
So send down some sunshine
Throw out your lifeline
And keep me from blowing away
Oh Lord if you hear me
Touch me and hold me
And keep me from blowing away

"King Of The Road"
(originally by Roger Miller)

"King Of The Road"
(originally by Roger Miller)



Trailer for sale or rent rooms to let fifty cents
No phone no pool no pets I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah but two hours of pushing broom buys a eight by twelve four bit room
I'm a man of means by no means king of the road

Third bocxcar midnight train destination Bangor Maine
Old worn out suit and shoes I don't pay no union dues

I smoke old stogies I have found short but not too big around
I'm a man of means by no means king of the road
I know every engineer on every train all of the children and all of their names
Every handout in every town
And every lock that ain't locked when no one's around
I sing trailer for sale or rent...

"Last Cheater's Waltz"

"Last Cheater's Waltz"


She was going to pieces when he walked in the door
She had to see him she can't wait no more
Tonight she'll be with him no matter the cost
As the band plays The Last Cheater's Waltz

And oooooooohh don't they play lonely
Oooooooohh don't they play sad
Oooooooohh three quarter only
See how he holds her
As the band plays The Last Cheater's Waltz

He tells her he loves her as the music plays on
He tells he loves her but someone's at home
The ball game's all over and she knows she's lost
As the band plays The Last Cheater's Waltz

And oooooooohh don't they play lonely
Oooooooohh don't they play sad
Oooooooohh three quarter only
See how he holds her
As the band plays The Last Cheater's Waltz

"Late Night Lovin' Man"

"Late Night Lovin' Man"


I don't-a want no watered down whiskey
I said I never get the blues
Hey, if you're lookin' for a good time, honey
Jerry Lee's the man to use

I can't help myself, baby (I can't help it baby)
Hey, don't you understand?
I'm just a day time sleepin', late nite lovin' man

When those neon signs start blinkin'
Then when I really go to town
My heart never starts beatin', baby
Till-a, till-a sun-a goes-a down

Lord, I can't help myself, baby (I can't help it baby)
Don't you understand?

I'm a day time sleepin', late nite lovin' man

Whoa, I don't believe in hobbies (oh-no)
I got better things to do (a-ooo-ooo)
I ain't into watchin' no t.v., baby
Jerry Lee's got his eye on you

When I can't help myself, baby (I can't help it baby)
Hey, don't you understand?
I'm a day time sleepin', late night lovin' man

I'm gonna play for ya now, I love you

Good boogie blues.

"Let's Talk About Us"

"Let's Talk About Us"


We talked about the birdies
That fly up in the trees
We talked about the moon
And the stars we couldn't see
But you keep on pretending
You don't know what's wrong with me

Come on, let's talk, about us

We talked about the good times
That made us laugh and sigh
We talked about the bad times
That brought tears to our eyes
Now, I think it's about time
For you to realize

Come on, let's talk, about us

Hey
Dear, I swear I'll love you, 'til the very end
But I don't plan on stickin' around
If it's just to be your friend

We've talked, and talked, and talked, and talked
But there's been nothin said
The things that you've been talking about

Just don't stick to my head
Sometimes I think, little girl
That your heart is filled with lead

Come on, let's talk, about us

Well, dear, I swear I'll love you, oh, 'til the very
End
Well, I don't plan on stickin' around
If it's just to be your friend

We've talked, and talked, and talked, and talked
And there's been nothin said
The thing that you've been talkin' about
Just don't stick to my head
My darlin'little girl
I think that your heart is made of lead

Come on, let's talk, about us
Come on, let's talk, about us
Well, well, well, well, well
Come on, let's talk, about us

"Lewis Boogie"

"Lewis Boogie"


My name is Jerry Lee Lewis, come from Louisiana
I'm gonna do you a little boogie on this here piano
Doing mighty fine, I'm gonna make you shake it
I'll make you do it and make you do it, until you break it

It's called the Lewis boogie, in the Lewis way
Lord, I do my little boogie woogie every day

Well, down in New Orleans, the land of dreams
The best doggone place, son, you have ever seen
The cats go wild, do a boogie that's hot
My boogie woogie makes you want to stop and do the bop

It's called the Lewis boogie, in the Lewis way
Lord, I do my little boogie woogie every day aw, oh, boy

Well, now let's cruise on down to old Memphis town
That's where that Presley boy said, you ain't nothing but a hound
But now you take my boogie, it keeps you in the groove
Then your sacroiliac begins to shiver and a move

It's called the Lewis boogie, in the Lewis way
Lord, I do my little boogie woogie every day

Oh, boogie woogie when your hips start rockin'
And your knees start knockin', Lewis boogie, Lewis way
Lord, I do my little boogie woogie every day
