"Dime-A-Dance Romance"

"Dime-A-Dance Romance"


Maybe she's just another sweet thing
Just a lookin' to go for a ride
Lookin' to see what it's all about
Before she can be satisfied

Or maybe she's cool and still goin' to school
And not lookin' for no man
To write a book or make her cook
Or hold her dishpan hands

She could a duchess or even a dame
Or a lady from over the hill
Yes, come on honey what's the name of your thrill
We'll try to shake it
Come on baby, let's climb that old hill
We're bound to make it
Moon's high and I'm dry
Come on

Ha-cha-ooh-la-la
You know she's well endowed
Ha-cha-ooh-la-la
Nature of a clown
Ha-cha-ooh-la-la
Answer to a sailor's dream
Ha-cha-ooh-la-la
Make things what they seem
Ha-cha-ooh-la-la
Take me for what you will

Queen of Spades that ain't been played
Though she knows she's well endowed
Wiggly witch with a nervous twitch
And the nature of a clown
Back-street joy ride certified bona fide
Answer to a sailor's dream
Where her lonesome deeds are cherished
To make things what they seem
Oh you dreamer, sweet redeemer
Take me for what you will

Yeah, come on honey what's the name of your thrill
We're gonna shake it
Come on baby, let's find that hill
We're bound to make it
Moon's high and I'm dry
Come on, come on!

"Driftin' Blues"

"Driftin' Blues"


Drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea
I'm drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea
As I ain't got nobody in this world to care for me

If my baby would only take me back again
If my baby, if my baby would only take me back again
I would feel much better and at least I'd have a friend

I'm drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea
Drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea
'Cause I ain't got nobody in this world to care for me, oh no

"Drivin' Wheel"
(originally by Roosevelt Sykes)



Well, my baby don't have to work
And she don't have to rob and steal
Well, my baby don't have to work
And she don't have to rob and steal
Yes, I'll give her everything she needs
'Cause I am her driving wheel

Yes, she left me this morning
And she said she'd be back soon
Yes, she left me this morning
And she said she'd be back soon
Yes, she would be back early Friday mornin'
Or laid over Saturday afternoon

Yes, every time she walk
She shakes like a leaf tremblin' on a tree
Yes, when my baby walk down the street
She shakes like a leaf tremblin' on a tree
Yes, the women all hate her
But man, she's alright with me

Wo, I sent the U.N. a telegram
Don't want nobody else to break the seal
Wo, I sent the U.N. a telegram
Don't want nobody else to break the seal
I want the whole world to know
That I am my baby's driving wheel

"Enter Maurice"

"Enter Maurice"


Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah

Enter Maurice
My dearest darling, come closer to Maurice so I can whisper
sweet words of epismetology in your ear and speak to you of
the pompitous of love. Even though our road is rough and
long, for you to leave me at this time darling, must surely
be wrong. So come back and reconsider one more thing. Maurice
is the only one to make your little heart sing.

Ooh mama ooh, ooh mama ooh
How can you do the things that you do?
Ooh mama ooh, ooh mama ooh
I'm gonna buy you some brand new shoes
I'm gonna buy you some brand new shoes

Enter Maurice
I don't know why you won't make no more apple pie. Since you've
been gone it's been starvation mama, ever since I lost my
probation. Don't you remember the time that you ended up in
jail? That's right darling, it was Maurice who went your bail.
Now, there's just one more thing that I want to say before you turn
and walk away.

Bom Bom Bom Bom do wah da di dit
Bom Bom Bom Bom do wah da di dit
Bom Bom Bom Bom do wah da di dit...

Darling please, don't walk out that door, you must reconsider
darling, you've done it so many times before. It's not too late,
It's never too late, precious one, for Maurice to love you.
Just remember sweetheart, I bought myself a gun and I will be
the only one.

"Feel So Glad"

"Feel So Glad"


There are so many places
You have roamed
So many people
You have known
I know many of them you loved
Some are here, some are gone
None of them could love you
Cause I'm the only one

You've been away
Ohh, so long
And I need you
So, come on

Don't you be sad
Cause it won't be long
I know it's been bad
But you'll soon, soon be home

If I couldn't just be with you
Everything would be fine
If I couldn't just talk to you
It would ease your troubled mind

I'm your love
You're my woman
And you waited so patiently

Darling I'm waitin' here
Come on, come on, come on, come on home
There's so many things you got to hear
Some don't, don't stay away long
Don't stay away long

Well, listen little girl
You know I need you so
I'm savin' all of my love
And that's something you should know
The feeling's gettin' stronger
You know I can't get away
I've got to be with you baby
Each and every day
So hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry home
