THE BRIAN SETZER ORCHESTRA- THE BRIAN SETZER ORCHESTRA

 

"Lady Luck"

 

Two hands reach for twelve at midnight

Clouds of smoke fill up the room

All the boys snap to attention

When Lady Luck walks into the room

She's got diamonds on her fingers

And she smells like fine perfume

Everyone drops what they're doin'

When Lady Luck walks into the room

I can't rub two dimes together

I'm so broke that it's a shame

Though we're two birds of a feather

Lady Luck don't even know my name

Bartender pour her a double

The band just played her favorite tune

And the party's just beginning

When Lady Luck walks into the room

I can't rub two dimes together

I'm so broke that it's a shame

Though we're two birds of a feather

Lady Luck don't even know my name

Bartender pour her a double

The band just played her favorite tune

And the party's just beginning

When Lady Luck walks into the room

When Lady Luck walks into the room

When Lady Luck walks into the room

She's got a fourteen carat four-leaf clover

She's got a mink rabbit's foot

When Lady Luck walks into the room.

 

 

 

"Ball and Chain"

 

Never call when you're out late

I don't know when you're comin' home

Change your mind just like the weather

And I don't know if I'm ever gonna

Break this ball and chain

And to you our love is just a little game

Now there's a fine line between

pleasure and pain

You love me like a ball and chain

When I called up information

Tryin' to pinpoint a location

When I find out unexpected

That your nunber's disconnected

Oh I got to break this ball and chain

And to you our love is just a little game

Now there's a fine line between

pleasure and pain

You love me like a ball and chain

I spent all my money

On a big shiny car

I spent all my time

In the back of a bar

Drivin down the highway

But I never get far

Keepin up with you baby's

like chasin a star

Never call when you're out late

I don't know when you're comin' home

Change your mind just like the weather

And I don't know if I'm ever gonna

Break this ball and chain

And to you our love is just a little game

Now there's a fine line between

pleasure and pain

You love me like a ball and chain

There's a fine line between

pleasure and pain

love me like a ball and chain

There's a fine line between

pleasure and pain

love me like a ball and chain.

 

 

 

 

 

"Sittin on it all the time"

 

Old maid old maid stop acting like a baby child

Old maid old maid stop acting like a baby child

You waited til you got 63

Before you started runnin wild

Oh, I'm lookin for a gal She's got to be young and neat

Yeah, I'm lookin for a gal She's got to be young and neat

What good is a stove if it don't put out no heat

Well you had your chance for love and romance

but you let it pass you by

'Cause when you were 10 you used to run from men

Kept on sittin on it all the time

When you was 15 you was a natural queen

Kept on sittin on it all the time

When you were 22 you didn't know what to do

When you was 25 you thought about that jive

Kept on sittin on it all the time

Kept on sittin on it all the time

When you was 31 you was hot as the sun,

you kept on sittin on it all the time

When you were 35 you were glad to be alive

When you were it still wasn't too late

Kept on sittin on it all the time

Kept on sittin on it all the time

When you were 44 men were still knockin on your door

Kept on sittin on it all the time

When you were 49 you changed your mind

When you were 52 you still knew what to do

Kept on sittin on it all the time

Kept on sittin on it all the time

Now you're 63 you're too old for me,

so keep on sittin on it all the time.

 

 

 

 

"Good Rockin' Daddy"

jumpin fast or rockin slow

I will see ya when the band gone blow

Now hold it, don't move it

Now boogie some more

Up on my feet I can't be beat

They stood around with a great big smile

And when you start to rock n' roll

"September Skies"

 

September Skies

Funny how that memory

never dies

And when that first leaf falls

Days turn cold, nights grow long

Like an old Sinatra song

And every year right about this time

I wind up here wishing that winds of fate

would bring you back to me

beneath September Skies

I should've known better

than to count on the weather

summer's long gone, still holdin' on

A fool pretendin' that love's never ending

With the first sign of fall, I still recall

September Skies

The autumn melody clouds my eyes

And I'll never see, why you're gone

and I dream all alone

Beneath Setember Skies

I should've known better

than to count on the weather

summer's long gone, still holdin' on

A fool pretendin' that love's never ending

With the first sign of fall, I still recall

September Skies

The autumn melody clouds my eyes

And I'll never see, why you're gone

and I dream all alone

Beneath Setember Skies.

 

 

 

 

 

"Brand New Cadillac"

 

My baby drove up in a Brand new Cadillac

I said my baby drove up in a Brand new Cadillac

She said listen to me daddy, I ain't never comin' back

Baby baby won't you hear my plea

C'mon sugar just hear my plea

She said balls to ya daddy

She ain't comin back to me

Baby baby won't you hear my plea

C'mon sugar just hear my plea

She said balls to ya daddy

She ain't comin back to me

A Cadillac pulled up about ninety-five

I said a Cadillac pulled up about ninety-five

I said get a grip baby you won't take me out alive

My baby drove up in a Brand new Cadillac

I said jesus baby where'd you get the Cadillac

She said balls to ya daddy

I ain't never comin' back

I ain't never comin' back x 4.

 

 

 

 

"There's a rainbow round my shoulder"

 

There's a rainbow round my shoulder

And a sky of blue above

How the sun shines bright

The world's all right

Cause I'm in love

There's a rainbow round my shoulder

And it fits me like a glove

Let it blow let it storm, I'll be warm

Cause I'm in love

Hallelujah, how the folks will stare

When they see that solitare

That my little baby is gonna wear

There's a rainbow round my shoulder

And a sky of blue above

And I'm shoutin so the world

will know that I'm in love

Hallelujah, how the folks gonna stare

When they see that diamond solitare

That my own true baby's gonna wear

There's a rainbow round my shoulder

And a sky of blue above

And I'm shoutin so the world

will know

I'm in love, I'm in love

There's a rainbow round my shoulder

And I'm in love.

"A nightingale sang in Berkely Square"

 

That certain night

The night we met

There was magic abroad in the air

There were angels dining at the Ritz

And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square

I may be right I may be wrong

But I'm perfectly willing to swear

That when you turned and smiled at me

A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square

The moon that lingered over London town

Poor puzzled moon he wore a frown

How could he know we two were so in love

The whole damned world seemed upside down

The streets of town were paved with stars

It was such a romantic affair

And as we kissed and said goodnight

A nightingale sang in Berekeley Square

How strange it was

How sweet and strange

There was never a dream to compare

To those hazy crazy nights we met

And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square

Ah this heart of mine

Loud and fast

Like a merry-go-round in a fair

We would dance cheek to cheek

And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square

The dawn came staeling up

All gold and blue

To interrupt our rendez-vous

I still remember how you smiled and said

Was that a dream or was it true?

Our homeward step was just as light

As the dancing feet of Astaire

And like an echo far away

And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square

And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square

That night in Berkeley Square.

"Drink that bottle down"

 

What's a man supposed to do

When the blues have got him down

What's he gonna do

When the blues have got him down

You go down to the liquor store

And you drink your bottle down

Where you gonna run to

Or are you gonna hide

Where you gonna run to

With those blues right down inside

You got no place left to go

You go down to the liquor store

And you drink your bottle down

Where you gonna run to

Are you gonna hide

Where you gonna run to

With those blues right down inside

You got no place left to go

You go down to the liquor store

And you drink your bottle down.
