"The Shape I'm In"



I can't go, I can't stay
It's your fault, I'm this way
I ain't ever been, hmm, the shape I'm in
I can't sit, I can't stand
This feeling is so grand
Hoping it never ends, hmm, the shape I'm in
You tell me no, then you tell me yes
You keep my mind a wreck
I'm not gonna ever rest, I'm gonna get you yeah
I feel good, I feel bad
I feel happy, I feel sad

"The Story Of The Rockers"

"The Story Of The Rockers"



It started out with Haley's Comets
A-rockin' round the clock
Well, then along came Presley
With some hillbilly rock,
Mix it in with Carl Perkins
Chuck Berry when he's workin'
And Little Richard out of Macon
Inspired Jerry Lee to shakin'
Slow down the tempo with the Fat Domino
Bring back the rhythm with Bo's band
Don and Phil and Eddie Cochran
And Buddy Holly kept a-rockin'

And that's the story of the rockers
Yeah, who kept us dancin'
Everybody was movin'
And it looked so fine
You feel the emotion
As you looked around
Sock it to me rockers
Roll it down the line

Jump back down to to Philly
For a daily Bandstand Rock
At The Hop with Danny's Juniors
The Stroll was very hot now
Rydell, Cannon and Dion sang
While Eddy's Rebels twanged on
Soon the world a-started twistin'
With the Checker dance
The Four Seasons sang Sherry
While Barry Gordy shopped the Champs
Ike and Tina and a-Uncle Ray
Along with Shannon's Runaway

And that's the story of the rockers
Yeah, who kept us dancin'
Everybody was movin'
And it looked so fine
You feel the emotion
As you looked around
Sock it to me rockers
Roll it down the line

The West Coast started surfin'
With the Beach Boy band
Jan and Dean and the Surfaris
Spread the songs throughout the land
And soon the Beatles from a-Liverpool
Electrified, began to rule
Roll out the Stones with Satisfaction
Mix in a bit of blues reaction
Byrds and Spoonful got in motion
With a very good time notion
Otis Redding and Revue
Young Rascals attitude

And that's the story of the rockers
Yeah, who kept us dancin'
Everybody was movin'
And it looked so fine
You feel the emotion
As you looked around
Sock it to me rockers
Roll it down the line

"The Train Kept A Rollin'"

"The Train Kept A Rollin'"



I caught the train, I met a real dame
She was a hipster and a gone dame
She was pretty, from New York City
And she trucked on down the ol' fair lane
With a hee, and a hoo
And I just couldn't let her go
So get along, sweet little woman get along
Better be on your way
Get along, sweet little woman get along
Better be on your way
With a hee, and a hoo
And I just couldn't let her go
Yes, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Yeah, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Oh, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Mmm, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Oh, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
And I still wouldn't let 'er go

We made a stop at Albuquerque
She must have thought I was a real gone jerk
We got off the train in El Paso
Her lovin' was so fine Jack, I couldn't let 'er go
Get along, sweet little woman get along
Better be on your way
Get along, sweet little woman get along
Better be on your way
With a hee, and a hoo
And I sure couldn't let her go
Yeah, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Oh, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Ooh, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)

Ooh, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
And I still wouldn't let 'er go

"This Ole House"

"This Ole House"



This ole house once knew his children
This ole house once knew a wife
This ole house was home and comfort
As we fought the storms of life
This old house once rang with laughter
This old house heard many shouts
Now she trembles in the darkness
When the lightnin' walks about

(Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer)
(Ain't a-gonna need this house no more)
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't a-got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
She's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints

This ole house is gettin' shaky
This ole house is gettin' old
This ole house lets in the rain
This ole house lets in the cold
On my knees I'm gettin' chilly
But I feel no fear nor pain
'Cause I see an angel peekin'
Through the broken windowpane

(Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer)
(Ain't a-gonna need this house no more)
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't a-got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
She's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints

This ole house is afraid of thunder
This ole house is afraid of storms
This ole house just groans and trembles
When the night wind flings out its arms
This ole house is gettin' feeble
This old house is needin' paint
Just like me it's tuckered out
But I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints

(Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer)
(Ain't a-gonna need this house no more)
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
She's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints

(Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer)
(Ain't a-gonna need this house no more)
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
She's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints

"This Time"

"This Time"



This time we’re really breaking up
This time we’ve said way too much
This time’s for all time
How about this time?
This time there’ll be no goodnight kiss
This time is for ever
This time I find that i’m really loosing you

My heart is broken now
It really doesn’t matter anyhow
Now that you’ve gone away
I only live from day to day
This time there’ll be no goodnight kiss
This time is for ever
This time I find that I’m really loosing you

This time there’ll be no goodnight kiss
This time is for ever
This time I find that I’m really loosing you

"Tiger"

"Tiger"



Hey, lumpa sugar, you look kinda sweet
Cuter than a baby walkin' down the street
When I look into your eyes, I wanna leap
I go insane 'cause I can't be tamed
Like a tiger, ooh, ooh, ooh, like a tiger
Ooh, ooh, ooh, just to see you smile nearly drives me wild
I wanna growl, wow!

I'm feelin' stronger than a grizzly bear
Soarin' like an eagle flyin' through the air
When I get you in my arms, you'd better beware
I go insane 'cause I can't be tamed
Like a tiger, ooh, ooh, ooh, like a tiger
Ooh, ooh, ooh, just to see you smile nearly drives me wild
I wanna growl, wow!

You keep my heart jumpin' like a kangaroo
Floatin' like an onion in a bowl of stew
Baby, ev'ry time you come in view
I run like an antelope to get to you
I'm your tiger and you're my mate
Hurry up, buttercup, and don't be late
I might get mad if I have to wait
Come right now 'cause I'm on the prowl
Like a tiger, ooh, ooh, ooh, like a tiger
Ooh, ooh, ooh, just to see you smile nearly drives me wild
I wanna growl, wow!

You keep my heart jumpin' like a kangaroo

"Till I Waltz Again With You"

"Till I Waltz Again With You"



Till I waltz again with you
Just the way we are tonight
Well, I will keep my promise through
Till I waltz again with you

Till I kiss you once again
Keep my love locked in your heart
Well darling, I'll return and then
Then we'll never have to part

Though it may break your heart and mine
The minute when it's time to go
Remember dear, these ways of mine
That means I love you so

Till I waltz again with you
Just the way we are tonight
Well, I will keep my promise through
For you are my guiding light

Though it may break your heart and mine
The minute when it's time to go
Remember dear, these ways of mine
That means I love you so

Till I waltz again with you
Just the way we are tonight
Well, I will keep my promise through
For you are my guiding light
Well, I will keep my promise through
Till I waltz again with you

"Too Too Much"

"Too Too Much"



It's askin' too too much
Your eyes say "Please don't touch"
My Love, that's askin' too too much

It's really too too bad
You make me fell so sad
My love, you're askin' too too much

What's happened to you happened
Seems like I never know you
Your eyes push me away
While askin' me to stay
Oh no, that's too too much
You play too too rough
My love, you're askin' too too much

What's happened to you happened
Seems like I never know you
Your eyes push me away
While askin' me to stay
Oh no, that's too too much
You play too too rough
My love, you're askin' too too much

It's really too too bad
You make me fell so sad
My love, you're askin' too too much

My love, you're askin' too much
My love, you're askin' too much

Too too much, too too much
My love, that's askin' too too much
Too too much, too too much
My love, that's askin' too too much

"Tossin' And Turnin'"

"Tossin' And Turnin'"



I couldn't sleep at all last night
Just a-thinkin' of you
Maybe things weren't right
Well I was tossin' and turnin'
Turnin' and tossin'
Tossin' and turnin' all night
I kicked the blankets on the floor
Turned my pillow upside down
I never, never did before
Because I was tossin' and turnin'
Turnin' and tossin'
Tossin' and turnin' all night
Jumped out of bed, turned on the light
I pulled down the shade
Went to the kitchen for a bite
Rolled up the shade, turned off the light
I jumped back into bed
It was the middle of the night
The clock downstairs was strikin' four
Couldn't get you off my mind
I heard the milkman at the door
'Cause I was tossin' and turnin'
Turnin' and tossin'
Tossin' and turnin' all night

I jumped out of bed, turned on the light
I pulled down the shade
Went to the kitchen for a bite
Rolled up the shade, turned off the light
I jumped back into bed
It was the middle of the night
The clock downstairs was strikin' four
Couldn't get you off my mind
I heard the milkman at the door
'Cause I was tossin' and turnin'
Turnin' and tossin'
Tossin' and turnin' all night
Baby, baby, baby
I was a-tossin' and turnin'
Yeah, turnin' and tossin'
Tossin' and turnin' all night
