"Just For A Thrill"

"Just For A Thrill"


Just for a thrill
You changed the sunshine to rain
Just for a thrill
You filled my heart with pain

To me you were my pride and joy
But to you, I was merely a toy
A plaything, that you could toss around at will

Just for a thrill
You made my life one sad song
Just for a thrill
You just led me along

Although you're free and havin' your fun
To me you're still the only one
Cause you made my heart stand still
Just for a thrill

Although you're free and havin' your fun
To me you're still the only one
Cause you made my heart stand still
Well, it was just for a thrill

And baby you, you, made my heart stand still
Just for a thrill

"Ladies Of The Evening"

"Ladies Of The Evening"


[Ladies]
Poor little daughters of the moon
When the sun is dawning
What is as sour as a day in June
For the ladies of the evening
In the morning?
Lost is the music of the night
For the daily clamor.
Noses are red and cheeks are white.
Where the hell's our glamour?
Where the hell's our glamour!

[Police]
We let the burglars take their snatch
To the shop for pawning.
All that we ever aim to catch
Is the ladies of the evening in the morning.
All night they bring rich men to grief
Till they have no cash left.
Cops can't afford the good roast beef
But we have the hash left.

[All]
A plum becomes a prune.
A joke becomes a pun,
And daughters of the moon
Must stray beneath the sun.
Let them earn an honest drachma
While the moral girls are yawning.
A policeman's lost
Is ladies of the evening
In the morning.
So start the day
The Police Department way
With the ladies of the evening
In the morning.

"Late In The Evening Blues"

"Late In The Evening Blues"


It was late in the evening and the sun was going down
I would pray to the good Lord
To please bring my baby round
Yes, I miss her more than even
To me she's the only one
I miss her more than ever
To me she's the only one
She'd be the on that..
When I need a favor done
I hate to hear the raindrops beat against my window pane
I hate to hear the raindrops beat against my window pane
I'm so blue without my baby
It's enough to drive old me insane
Will I ever find my baby
She's the one I can't afford to lose
Will I ever find my baby
She's the one I can't afford to lose
I wake up early in the morning with the late in the evening blues

"Laura"

"Laura"


Laura is the face in the misty lights
Footsteps that you hear down the hall
The laugh that floats on a summer night
That you can never quite recall
And you see Laura on the train that is passing through
Those eyes how familiar they seem
She gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura but she's only a dream

[Instrumental Interlude]

And you see Laura on the train that is passing through
Those eyes how familiar they seem
She gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura but she's only a dream

"Leave My Woman Alone"

"Leave My Woman Alone"


If you don't want, you don't have to (get in trouble)
If you don't want, you don't have to (get in trouble)
If you don't want, you don't have to (get in trouble)

Say, you better leave my woman alone
Well, I know you are a playboy
And you've got women all over town
But listen buddy if you ever sweet-talk my little girl
I'm gonna lay your body down
If you don't want, you don't have to (get in trouble)
You know you don't want, oh yeah (get in trouble)
If you don't want, you don't have to (get in trouble)
(Say it) Oh, you better leave my woman alone
Well I know you got your money
And you've got a new fifty-six too
But if I ever see my little girl in your new car
I'm gonna do some work on you.
If you don't want, you don't have to (get in trouble)
You know you don't want, oh yeah (get in trouble)
If you don't want, you don't have to (get in trouble)
(Say it) Oh, you better leave my woman alone
Well I don't believe in trouble
So I don't want to start a fight
So if you'll take heed and stay away from my little girl
Then everything will be alright
If you don't want, you don't have to (get in trouble)
You know you don't want, yeah (get in trouble)
If you don't want, you don't have to (get in trouble)

(Say it) Oh, you better leave my woman alone
My woman alone
My (woman alone)
You better leave (woman alone)
Better leave (woman alone)
My woman alone (woman alone)
I said (woman alone)
I said (woman alone)
I said (woman alone)
You better leave (woman alone)
You better leave (woman alone)
You better leave (woman alone)
My- (woman alone)
-i- (woman alone)
-i- (woman alone)
My woman (woman alone)
My woman alone (woman alone)
Oh, now (woman alone)
Oh, oo (woman alone)
Oh yeah (woman alone)
Oh yeah (woman alone)
You better leave (woman alone)
My woman alone (woman alone)
If you don't want, you don't have to (get in trouble)
If you don't want, you don't have to (get in trouble)
If you don't want, you don't have to (get in trouble)
(Say it) Yeah, you better leave my woman alone
My woman alone
My woman alone

"Let The Good Times Roll"

"Let The Good Times Roll"


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,
I said let the good times roll,
I don't care if you're young or old,
You oughtta get together and let the good times roll

Don't sit there mumbling
Talkin' trash
If you want to have a ball,
You got to go out and spend some cash

And let the good times roll now,
I'm talkin' 'bout the good times,
Well it makes no difference whether you're young or old,
All you got to do is get together and let the good times roll

Hey y'all tell everybody, Ray Charles in town,
I got a dollar and a quarter and I'm just ringing the clock,
But don't let no female, play me cheap,
I got fifty cents more than I'm gonna keep.

So let the good times roll now,
I tell y'all I'm gonna let the good times roll now,
Well it don't make no difference if you're young or old,
All you got to do is get together and let the good times roll

Hey no matter whether, rainy weather,
If you want to have a ball, you got to get yourself together,
Oh, get yourself under control, woah, and let the good times roll.

"Let Your Love Flow"

"Let Your Love Flow"


There's a reason
For the sunshine day,
There's a reason
Why I'm feelin' so high.
Must be the season
When that love light shines all around us.
So let that feeling
Grad you deep inside
And send you reeling
Where your love can't hide
And then go stealing
Throught the summer nights
With your lover.
Just let your love flow
Like a mountain stream
And let your love grow
With the smallest of dreams
And let your love show
And you'll know what I mean
It's the season.
Let your love fly
Like a bird on the wing
And let your love bind you
To all living things,
And let your love shine
And you'll know what I mean,
That's the reason.
There's a reason
For the warm sweet nights
There's a reason
For the candle lights.
Must be the season
When those love rites shine all around us.
So let the wonder
Take you into space
And lay you under
Its loving embrace
Feel the thunder
As it warms your face
You can't hold back.
Ust let your love flow
Like a mountain stream
And let your love grow
With the smallest of dreams
And let your love show
And you'll know what I mean
It's the season.
Let your love fly
Like a bird on the wing
And let your love bind you
To all living things,
And let your love shine
And you'll know what I mean,
That's the reason.

"Let's Go Get Stoned"

"Let's Go Get Stoned"


Let's go get stoned
Let's go get stoned
When your baby won't let you in
Got a few pennies, a bottle of gin
Just call your buddy on the telephone
Let's go get stoned
Let's go get stoned
Let's go get stoned

When you work so hard all the day long
And everything you do seems to go wrong
Just drop by my place on your way home
Let's go get stoned
It ain't no harm
You're takin just a taste
But don't blow your cool
And start messing up the place
It ain't no harm you're faking just a nip
But make sure you don't fall down bust your lip
Let's go get stoned
Let's go get stoned
