"Disco Man"

"Disco Man"


Disco man dressed in white
Ladies on the left and ladies on the right
Drives a T-bar top car all around the town
Disco man sure gets around

Disco man you'll go far
Take all the pretty girls and ride 'em in your car
Take 'em uptown downtown all around the square
Disco man goes everywhere

Disco man he's so bad
What he ain't got he has had
With a T-bar top car never far away
Disco man goes all the way

Disco man dressed to the nines
Talking to the pretty girls a line at a time
Stepping up to the rhythm of the music of the band
Ishco moogalo disco man

Disco man he's so free
He's my hero yesiree
Drives a T-bar top car all around the town
Disco man sure gets around

Disco man he's so bad
What he ain't got he has had
With a T-bar top car never far away
Disco man goes all the way

Disco man he's so free
He's my hero yesiree
Drives a T-bar top car all around the town
Disco man sure gets around

Disco man he's so bad
What he ain't got he has had
With a T-bar top car never far away
Disco man goes all the way

"Do Ya Wanna Go To Heaven"

"Do Ya Wanna Go To Heaven"


Looka Huck, do you wanna go to heaven
Do you wanna go to Heaven
Well I'll tell you right now
You better learn to read and you better learn your writin'
Or you'll never get to heaven 'cause you wont know how
You may think that the whole thing is silly
But it ain't silly really and I'll tell you right now
If you don't learn to read then you can't read your Bible
And you won't get to heaven 'cause you wont know how
Looka here Huck, now you better think it over
Do you wanna be a loafer like your pappy is now
You better learn to read and you better learn your writin'
Or you'll never get to heaven 'cause you wont know how
Hey, hey do you wanna go to heaven
Do you wanna go to heaven
If you don't go to hell
Looka here Huck, do you wanna go to heaven
Do you wanna go to heaven
Well I'll tell you right now
You better learn to read and you better learn your writin'
Or you'll never get to Heaven 'cause you wont know how
You may think that the whole thing is silly
But it ain't silly really and I'll tell you right now
If you don't learn to read then you can't read your Bible
And you won't get to heaven 'cause you wont know how
Looka here Huck, now you better think it over
Do you wanna be a loafer like your pappy is now
You better learn to read and you better learn your writin'
Or you'll never get to heaven 'cause you wont know how
Hey, hey here's the situation concernin' education aggravatin' and how
Do you wanna go to heaven
Well you better get your lessons or you won't know how
Looka here Huck, do you wanna be a feller
Like a feller really ought to be
I'll tell you right now
You better learn to read and you better learn your writin'
Or you'll never get to Heaven 'cause you wont know how

"Do-Wacka-Do"

"Do-Wacka-Do"


I hear tell you're doin' well,
Good thing have come to you.
I wish I had your happiness
And you had a do-wacka-do,
Wacka do, wacka-do, wacka-do.

They tell me you're runnin' free,
Your days are never blue.
I wish I had your good-luck charm
And you had a do-wacka-do,
Wacka do, wacka-do, wacka-do.

Yeah, I see you're goin' down the street in your big Cadillac,
You got girls in the front, you got girls in the back,
Yeah, way in back, you got money in a sack,
Both hands on the wheel and your shoulders rared back
Root-doot-doot-doot-doot, do-wah,

I hear tell you're doin' well,
Good things have come to you.
I wish I had your happiness
And you had a do-wacka-do,
Wacka do, wacka-do, wacka-do.

"Don't We All Have The Right"

"Don't We All Have The Right"


l laughed it off when she left, l said she'd come back again
Don't we all have the right to be wrong now and then

She won't come home, says her love will never be mine again
Don't we all have the right to be wrong now and then

Guess l wasn't so smart after all
l forgot that with love there are two ways to fall

She won't come home, says her love will never be mine again
Don't we all have the right to be wrong now and then

l laughed it off when she left, l said she'd come back again
Don't we all have the right to be wrong now and then

"Engine, Engine #9"

"Engine, Engine #9"


Engine, engine number nine
Coming down the railroad line
How much farther back did she get off.
Old brown suitcase that she carried.
I've looked for it ev'rywhere.
It just ain't here among the rest
And I'm a little upset, yes... tell me

Engine, engine number nine,
Coming down the railroad line,
I know she got on in Baltimore.
A hundred and ten miles ain't much distance
But it sure do make a diff'rence;
I don't think she loves me anymore.

I warned her of dangers
Don't speak to strangers
Did she find new romance
Warmer lips to kiss her,
Arms to hold her tighter,
Stirring new fires inside her,
How I wish that it was me instead
Of he that stands beside her.

Engine, engine number nine,
Coming down the railroad line,
I know she got on in Baltimore.
A hundred and ten miles ain't much distance
But it sure do make a diff'rence;
I don't think she loves me anymore.

No I don't think she loves me anymore.
I dont think she loves me...

"England Swings"

"England Swings"


England swings like a pendulum do,
Bobbies on bicycles, two by two,
Westminster Abbey the tower of Big Ben,
The rosy red cheeks of the little children.

Now, if you huff and puff and you fina'lly save enough
Money up to take your family on a trip across the sea,
Take a tip before you take your trip; let me tell you where to go,
Go to Engeland, Oh;

Mama's old pajamas and your papa's mustache,
Falling out the window sill, frolic in the grass,
Tryin' to mock the way they talk fun but all in vain,
Gaping at the dapper men with derby hats and canes

"Every Which-A-Way"

"Every Which-A-Way"


Every which-a-way I go and every which-a-way I turn I seem to be
Looking for a love I never never find, fighting back pain and misery,

One day my love run away now everything I touch just seems to turn
To more heartache and misery, making my poor heart burn, burn

I found the thrill of love
Then felt the chill of love
Funny I'm still in love
Even though she let me down
And then gave me the run-around

Every which-a-way I go and every which-a-way I turn I seem to be
Looking for a love I never never find, fighting back pain and misery,

I found the thrill of love
Then felt the chill of love
Funny I'm still in love
Even though she let me down
And then gave me the run-around

Oh, every which-a-way I go and every which-a-way I turn I seem to be
Looking for a love I never never find, fighting back pain and misery,

"Everybody's Talkin'"

"Everybody's Talkin'"


Everybody's talkin' at me
I don't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind

People stopping, staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Thru' the pourin' rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Backin' off the north east wind
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skippin' over the ocean like a stone

Everybody's talkin' at me
I don't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind

"Everything's Coming Up Roses"

"Everything's Coming Up Roses"


Here we are in court today
Rose just took the stand
She's divorcin' me for reasons
I still don't understand

That dress is showin' more of her
Than I've seen in years
And the story that she's tellin's
Even got the judge in tears

She's accusin' me of hangin' out
With girls of ill repute
Adultery, abandonment
Even alcohol abuse

I just heard my mother shout
Your honor throw the book
And even my attorney
Just gave me a dirty look

Everything's coming up roses
The house, the car
The kids and all the cash
Everything's coming up roses
And I'll be lucky
If I keep the shirt that's on my back

My head is buried in my hands
The courtroom is adjourned
She got all I ever made
And all I'll ever earn

If I had a handkerchief
I'd break right down and cry
Why, even Johnny Carson
Got a better deal than mine

Everything's coming up roses
The house, the car
The kids and all the cash
Everything's coming up roses
And I'll be lucky
If I keep the shirt that's on my back

Everything's coming up roses
And I'll be lucky
If I keep the shirt that's on my back

"Feel Of Me"

"Feel Of Me"


Look at you you're cryin' lonesome plain to see
But don't feel bad
If you think you feel lonesome, feel of me
I got lots of heartaches and all that misery
So don't feel bad
If you think you feel misery, feel of me
Touch and feel the tremble in my hand
Look at my eyes look how they cry then I think you'll understand
Look at you you're cryin' lonesome plain to see
But don't feel bad
If you think you feel lonesome, feel of me
