THE BRIAN SETZER ORCHESTRA - THE DIRTY BOOGIE

This Cat's On a Hot Tin Roof

This cat's on a hot tin roof

Drinkin' that whiskey, 96 proof

Don't need no doctor, don't feel no pain

My legs are just two steps ahead of my brain

This cat's on a hot tin roof

This cat's gonna shake it loose

This cat don't get the blues

'Cause this cat's shakin' on a hot tin roof

This cat's been out on the town

I'm the cat's meow, I'm the king with a crown

My head is spinnin' and I got the shakes

I can't stop now 'cause I got no brakes

This cat's on a hot tin roof

This cat's gonna shake it loose

This cat don't get the blues

'Cause this cat's shakin' on a hot tin roof

There ain't no point in holdin' me down

I'll kick and I'll scratch and I'll howl

Hey hound dog, get outta my way

'Cause this cat is on the prowl

This cat's on a hot tin roof

Jumpin' up and down like a long neck goose

Shimmy and shake, baby you can't fail

Rockin' so hard that it's off the scale

This cat's on a hot tin roof

This cat's gonna shake it loose

This cat don't get the blues

'Cause this cat's shakin' on a hot tin roof

The Dirty Boogie

I got a little boogie but it ain't too clean

It's real low down and it's kinda mean

The dirty boogie

When I get low down, it's the dirty boogie for me

The dirty boogie

What's it called?

The dirty boogie

Hey you all

The dirty boogie

How's it go?

The dirty boogie

Not too slow

When I get low down, it's the dirty boogie for me

Well you rattle and shake, you moan and groan

A girl like you I could never bring home

The dirty boogie

When I get low down, it's the dirty boogie for me

The dirty boogie

What's it called?

The dirty boogie

Hey you all

The dirty boogie

How's it go?

The dirty boogie

Not too slow

When I get low down, it's the dirty boogie for me

They're shakin' their hips and scream and shout

And doin' things I can't even talk about

The dirty boogie

Catch my drift

The dirty boogie

When I get low down, it's the dirty boogie for me

The dirty boogie

What's it called?

The dirty boogie

Hey you all

The dirty boogie

How's it go?

The dirty boogie

Not too slow

When I get low down, it's the dirty boogie for me

This Old House

This old house once knew its children

This old house once knew its wife

This old house was home and comfort

As they fought the storms of life

This old house once rang with laughter

This old house heard many shouts

Now it trembles in the darkness

When the lightning walks about

Ain't gonna need this house no longer

Ain't 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 the window pain

Ain't gonna need this house no longer

He's getting ready to meet the saints

This old house is gettin' shaky

This old house is gettin' old

This old house has seen the rain

This old house has seen the cold

Oh his knees are gettin' chilly

But he feels no fear or pain

'Cause he sees an angel peepin'

Through a broken window pane

Ain't gonna need this house no longer

Ain't 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 the window pain

Ain't gonna need this house no longer

He's getting ready to meet the saints

This old house is gettin' shaky

This old house is gettin' old

This old house has seen the rain

This old house has seen the cold

Oh his knees are gettin' chilly

But he feels no fear or pain

'Cause he sees an angel peepin'

Through a broken window pane

Ain't gonna need this house no longer

Ain't 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 the window pain

Ain't gonna need this house no longer

He's getting ready to meet the saints (repeat)

Let's Live It Up

You only go around once on this big spinnin' planet of love

So don't be wastin' my time

Tell me what you're dreamin' of

We'll take a rocket to the moon and when we get that far

I'll hang your coat and hat upon a shooting star

Let's live it up! Let's live it up! Let's live it up!

Hang up the cat and put the dog out to dry

Roll up the bird, let the alligator wave bye-bye

We'll take a sloe gin to China, a train to Peru

In a rusty old steamer or a leaky canoe

Let's live it up! Let's live it up! Let's live it up!

Around the block in a hot balloon sounds awfully good to me

Or a seat on the wing of a jumbo jet flying straight to Mercury

What's the matter with me? Baby I've been such a fool

We'll hop on a raft and navigate around in the pool

We'll take a rocket to the moon and when we get that far

I'll hang your coat and hat upon a shooting star

Let's live it up! Let's live it up! Let's live it up!

What's the matter with me? Baby I've been such a fool

We'll hop on a raft and navigate around in the pool

We'll take a rocket to the moon and when we get that far

I'll hang your coat and hat upon a shooting star

Let's live it up! Let's live it up! Let's live it up!

Jump Jive An' Wail

Baby, baby it looks like it's gonna hail

Baby, baby it' looks like it's gonna hail

You better come inside

Let me teach you how to jive and wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail away!

Papa's in the icebox lookin' for a can of ale

Mama's in the backyard learning how to jive and wail

(chorus)

A woman is a woman and a man ain't nothin' but a male

One good thing about him

He knows how to jive and wail

Jack and Jill went up the hill to get a pail

Jill stayed up, she wants to learn how to jive and wail

(chorus)

You're the Boss

When it comes to kissin', I just got to keep insistin'

Baby, you sure do swing

And when it comes to kissin', I just got to keep insistin'

Daddy, you are the king

Baby, you've got me beat up and down, inside out and across, oh yeah

But in the middle of the night, when the moon is shinin' bright

You're the boss

Talkin' 'bout a-dancin' and a-down home romancin'

Daddy, you are the king

Talkin' 'bout a-dancin' and a-down home romancin'

Baby, you are the queen

Man, when push comes to shove, when it comes down to love

You're the boss

But in the middle of the night, when the moon is shinin' bright

You're the boss

You're the best of everything

You're a peach

You're a plum

You're a diamond

You're a pearl

You're the best of everything

Daddy, you're my man

Baby, you're my girl

When it comes to knowin' which way the wind is blowin'

Baby, you sure are wise

And when it comes to knowin' which way the wind is blowin'

Daddy, you take the prize

Baby, you're a genius when it comes to cookin' up some chili sauce

But in the middle of the night, when the moon is shinin' bright

You're the boss

Baby, you're a genius when it comes to cookin' up some chili sauce

But in the middle of the night, when the moon is shinin' bright

You're the boss

When it comes to kissin', I just got to keep insistin'

Baby, you sure do swing

And when it comes to kissin', I just got to keep insistin'

Daddy, you are the king

Baby, you've got me beat up and down, inside out and across

But in the middle of the night, when the moon is shinin' bright

You're the boss

Rock This Town

Well, my baby and me went out late Saturday night

I had my hair piled high and my baby just looked so right

Well, pick you up and ten, gonna get you home at two

Your mama don't know what I got in store for you

But baby that's all right we're looking as cool as can be

We found a little place that really didn't look half bad

I had a whiskey on the rocks and change of a dollar for the jukebox

Well, I put a quarter right into that can

But all it played was disco, man

Come on pretty baby, let's get out of here right away

We're gonna rock this town

Rock it inside out

We're gonna rock this town

Make 'em scream and shout

Let's rock, rock, rock, man, rock

We're gonna rock 'til we pop

Gonna roll 'til we drop

Rock this town

Rock it inside out

Well, we're having a ball just tearing up the big dance floor

Well, there's a real square cat, he looks 1974

Well, he looked at me once, he looked at me twice

Look at me again and there's gonna be a fight

We're gonna rock this town

Rip this place apart

We're gonna rock this town

Rock it inside out

We're gonna rock this town

Make 'em scream and shout

Let's rock, rock, rock, man, rock

We're gonna rock 'til we pop

Gonna roll 'til we drop

Rock this town

Rock it inside out

We're gonna rock this town

Rock it inside out

We're gonna rock this town

Make 'em scream and shout

Let's rock, rock, rock, man, rock

We're gonna rock 'til we pop

Gonna roll 'til we drop

Rock this town

Rock it inside out

We're gonna rock this town

Rock it inside out

We're gonna rock this town

Rock it inside

Yeah, we're gonna rock this town

Tear it up

We're gonna rip it down

Rock this town

Rock it inside out

Since I Don't Have You

I don't have plans and schemes

And I don't have hopes and dreams

Baby, I just don't have anything

Since I don't have you

I don't have fond desires

And I don't have happy hours

Baby, I just don't have anything, anything

Since I don't have you, I don't have you

I don't have happiness

And I guess I never will ever again

When you walked out on me

In walked old misery

And he's been here since then

I don't have love to share

And I don't have one who cares

Baby, I just don't have anything

Since I don't have you, I don't have you

I don't have happiness

And I guess I never will ever again

When you walked out on me

In walked old misery

And he's been here since then

I don't have love to share

And I don't have one who cares

Baby, I just don't have anything

Since I don't have you

Switchblade 327

Lit cigarette in his hand

Steel-toed boots on the accelerator

Oil leakin' outta the pan

Switchblade, three two-barrels

Gettin' there as fast as he can

All juiced up like a hot carburetor

Spittin' gas onto the fan

Blacktop burnout, Saturday night

Try to catch him if you can

Switchblade 327

Switchblade, seven come eleven

Switchblade, he's all right

When he gets drunk he fights all night

Switchblade 327

Pullin' way ahead of the pack

Chop top deuce, Saturday night

Flames shootin' outta the back

Switchblade, don't cut him off

He won't cut you no slack

He'll cut you to ribbons if you come to town

He'll carve his name in your back

Blacktop burnout, Saturday night

Try to catch him if you can

Switchblade 327

Switchblade, seven come eleven

Switchblade, he's all right

When he gets drunk he fights all night

Switchblade 327

Someone was calling his name

All he could hear was his engine

And the sound of the pouring down rain

Switchblade 327

Ran 125 down the lane

But someone had cut both his fuel lines

And the '32 burst into flames

Blacktop burnout, Saturday night

Try to catch him if you can

Switchblade 327

Switchblade, seven come eleven

Switchblade, he's all right

When he gets drunk he fights all night (repeat)

Nosey Joe

There's a man in town all the women know

He goes by the name of Nosey Joe

He don't care if they're married

He takes his pick

Long as they're women, he's ready to stick

His big nose in their business

That's Nosey Joe, the nosiest guy I know

He ain't good lookin' and he ain't big and stong

The guy's got a nose that's four foot long

I'm tellin' you women, this ain't no jive

If you get too close this man will drive

His big nose in your business

That's Nosey Joe, the nosiest guy I know

I saw him just the other day

Tried to steal my gal away

He offered her money

He offered her love

She said thank you sir, but please don't shove

Your big nose in my business

That's Nosey Joe, the nosiest guy I know

Old Nosey finally lost his life

Messin' with my buddy's wife

My buddy caught him with his chick

Chopped off his nose, now he can't stick

His big nose in my business

That's Nosey Joe, the nosiest guy I know

Hollywood Nocturne

There's a place where you can go

Music's hot and lights are low

But there's something you should know

Before the night is through

'Neath a buzzing neon sign

Dressed in style so cool and refined

Stands a man from another time

Who's calling out to you

There in the night that has heard a thousand voices

Whispered a thousand names

Sang out a thousand love songs

He lives his Hollywood nocturne

There's a place he'd like to go

Where it's cool and lights are low

But the shadows won't let go

They dance and call his name

As he roams the streets at night

Haunted by this devil sight

There's a man in dark red light

Who's calling out to you

There in the night that has heard a thousand voices

Whispered a thousand names

Sang out a thousand love songs

He lives his Hollywood nocturne

His Hollywood nocturne

As Long As I'm Singin'

As long as I'm singin'

There's a bell up in my brain that's ringin'

Makin' a crazy ding dong

And if this band don't desert me

Then there's nothin' in the world can hurt me

As long as I'm singin' my song

Give me trumpets, legato

Put some saxes with 'em

Bones, pizzicato

Gimme rhythm

As long as I'm singin'

Then the world's all right

And everything's swingin'

Long as I'm singin' my song

As long as I'm singin'

Then the world's all right

And everything's swingin'

Long as I'm singin' my

Long as I'm singin' my song
