"Walking On The Water"

"Walking On The Water"


I could be walkin’ on the water
Never let my feet touch the ground
That’s how you don’t need me girl
I don’t want you hangin’ around

I could be walkin’ on the water
Treadin’ cross the deep blue sea
That’s how you don’t need me girl
Something got a hold on me

I’m gonna sing rock’n’roll all night long
Burn my blues right here in the sun
Hey little girl keep a hold on me
I’m gonna find a route cross the sea

I could be walkin’ on the water
Never let my feet touch the ground
That’s how you don’t need me girl
I don’t want you hangin’ around

[SOLO]

I’m gonna sing rock’n’roll all night long
Burn my blues right here in the sun
Hey little girl keep a hold on me
I’m gonna find a route cross the sea

I could be walkin’ on the water
Never let my feet touch the ground
That’s how you don’t need me girl
I don’t want you hangin’ around

I’m gonna walkin’ on the water
Well walkin’ on the water
Oh walkin’ on the water
Walkin’ on the water
Walkin’ on the water

"Way Down Yonder In New Orleans"
(originally by The Peerless Quartet)



Well, a-way down yonder in New Orleans
In the land of a-dreamy scenes
A-There's a Garden of Eden, a-you know what I mean
Yeah, real babies with flashing eyes softly whisper with tender sighs
And then you stop! Oh, won't you give your lady fair a little smile?
And then you stop! You bet your life you'll linger there a little while

Yeah, there is heaven right here on earth
A-with those beautiful queens
Yeah, way down yonder in New Orleans
Whoo!
Way down yonder in New Orleans, whoo!

In the land of a-dreamy scenes
A-There's a Garden of Eden, a-you know what I mean
Well, real babies with flashing eyes softly whisper with tender sighs
And then you stop! Oh, won't you give your lady fair a little smile?
And then you stop! You bet your life you'll linger there a little while

Yeah, there is heaven right here on earth
A-with those beautiful queens
Well, way down yonder in New Orleans
Yeah! Whoo!

"What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For?"

"What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For?"



What do you wanna make those eyes at me for
If they don't mean what they say
Ooh, they make me glad, they make me sad
They make me want a lot of things that I never had
You're fooling around with me now
Oh, you lead me on and then you run away

Oh, that's alright
I'll get you a lonesome night
And baby you'll find you're messing with dynamite
So what do you wanna make those eyes at me for
If they don't mean what they say

What do you wanna make those eyes at me for
If they don't mean what they say
Ooh, they make me glad, they make me sad
They make me want a lot of things that I never had
You're fooling around with me now
Oh, you lead me on and then you run away

Oh, that's alright
I'll get you a lonesome night
And baby you'll find you're messing with dynamite
So what do you wanna make those eyes at me for
If they don't mean what they say

What do you wanna make those eyes at me for
If they don't mean what they say
Ooh, they make me glad, they make me sad
They make me want a lot of things that I never had
You're fooling around with me now
Oh, you lead me on and then you run away

Oh, that's alright
I'll get you a lonesome night
And baby you'll find you're messing with dynamite
So what do you wanna make those eyes at me for
If they don't mean what they say

If they don't mean what they say
If they don't mean what they say, yeah!

"White Christmas"

"White Christmas"



I'm dreaming of a white christmas
Just like the one's I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white christmas
With every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your christma's be white

I'll dreaming of a white christmas
Just like the one's I used to know
May your days, may your days, may your days
Be merry and bright
And we all your christma's be white
And we all your christma's be white
And we all your christma's be white

"White Lightning"

"White Lightning"


Well in North Carolina, way back in the hills
There lived by old pappy and he had him a still
He brewed white lightning till the sun went down
Then he filled him a jug and he passed it around
Mighty, mighty pleasing, pappy's corn squeezings
Ooh white lightning

[Chorus:]
Well the "G" men, the "T" man, revenuers too
Searching for the place where he made his brew
They were looking, trying to book him
But my pappy kept on cooking
Ooh white lightning

One day I asked my pappy what he called his brew
White lightning instead of mountain dew
I took a little sip and right away I knew
When my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
Lightning started flashing, thunder started crashing
Ooh, my goodness, white lightning

[Chorus]

Well a city slicker came and he said I'm tough
I think I'd like to try that powerful stuff
He took a little slug and he drank it on down
You could hear him a moaning as he hit the ground
Mighty, mighty pleasing, pappy's corn squeezings
Ooh white lightning

[Chorus]

"Why Do You Treat Me This Way"

"Why Do You Treat Me This Way"



If I can move a mountain
Or swim the rollin' sea
I'd do anything
If you'd only hear my plea
Oh me Oh my
Why do you treat me this way

I'd walk the...
If you'd only take me hand
If it's heaven or hell
Girl is well
Oh me Oh my
Why do you treat me this way

I know you gotta heart
Why do you tear me apart
Leave me in this misery
Why do you pretend
C'mon and surrender
C'mon and give your heart to me

I'd climb the highest building
To reach a shooting star
To have and to hold you
Where ever you are
Oh me Oh my
Why do you treat me this way

If I can move a mountain
Or swim the rollin' sea
I'd do anything
If you'd only hear my plea
Oh me Oh my
Why do you treat me this way

I know you gotta heart
Why do you tear me apart
Leave me in this misery
Why do you pretend
C'mon and surrender
C'mon and give your heart to me

I'd climb the highest building
To reach a shooting star
To have and to hold you
Where ever you are
Oh me Oh my
Why do you treat me this way

Oh me Oh my
Why do you treat me this way
Oh me Oh my
Why do you treat me this way

"With My Heart"

"With My Heart"



Well let me tell you, about a girl
The only one for me in the world
She went a long, long way away with my heart

You red hot lips, your fingertips
Oooh, you make my heart flip-flip
You went a long, long way away with my heart

Whenever I was lonely you always used to come around
We gotta whole lotta lovin' and a whole lotta huggin' down
And when I call you on the phone, to meet you way out of town
Oooh well on that day, yea I caught you foolin' around

She told her friends, before she ran
There never ever be another man
She went a long, long way away with my heart

Whenever I was lonely you always used to come around
We gotta whole lotta lovin' and a whole lotta huggin' down
And when I call you on the phone, to meet you way out of town
Oooh well on that day, yea I caught you foolin' around

Mmmm, so sweet so fine
I really thought that girl was mine
She went a long, long way away with my heart

She told her friends, before she ran
There never ever be another man
She went a long, long way away with my heart

She went a long, long way away with my heart
She went a long, long way away with my heart

"Without A Love"

"Without A Love"



I'd rather be a fish
down in the deep blue see
then be a lonely man with-out a love of my own

a fish in the sea, with another to swim with me
and not a lonely man with-out a love of my own

Weeell
without a love, a love of my own
without a love, a love of my own
without a love, a love of my own
without a love a love of my own

I'd rather be a dove
Up in a tree so high
then be a lonely man without a love of my own

A dove in a tree, so high it mean we fly
and not a lonely man with-out a love of my own

Weeell
without a love, a love of my own
without a love, a love of my own
without a love, a love of my own
without a love a love of my own

I'd rather be a dove
Up in a tree so high
then be a lonely man with-out a love of my own

A dove in the tree, so high it mean we fly
And not a lonely man with-out a love of my own

Weeell
without a love, a love of my own
without a love, a love of my own
without a love, a love of my own
without a love a love of my own

without a love, a love of my own
without a love, a love of my own
without a love, a love of my own
without a love, a love of my own
without a love, a love of my own
without a love, a love of my own
without a love, a love of my own

"Yakety Yak"

"Yakety Yak"



Take out the papers and the trash
Or you don't get no spendin' cash
If you don't scrub that kitchen floor
You ain't gonna rock and roll no more
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

Just finish cleanin' up your room
And sweep the dust out with that broom
Get all that garbage out of sight
Or you don't go out friday night
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

You just put on your coat and hat
And walk yourself to the laundromat
And when you finish doin' that
Bring in the dog and put out the cat
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

Don't you give me no dirty looks
Your father's hip; he knows what cooks
Just tell your hoodlum friend outside
You ain't got time to take a ride
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

Yakety yak, yakety yak
