MY LITTLE BABY'S (Goin' Boppin' Tonight)

Well my little baby's she's not very tall
don't like jivin' no swing or no stroll
she's got blood red hair eye's of green
blue jeans on she's a boppin' machine

Yeah my little baby's goin' boppin tonight
my little baby's goin' boppin' tonight
clear the floor she's goin' bop bop boppin' tonight

when she hits the dance floor
you know she's doin' right
all the cats all round her give her room
cause she's gonna be boppin' there all night
my little baby's goin' boppin' tonight
my little baby's goin' boppin' tonight
clear the floor she's goin' bop bop boppin' tonight

Well when she hears a tune with a rockabilly beat
she starts hitting the floor and a stamping her feet
if you saw my gal well you know what I'd mean
she starts jumpin' around like a dog on heat
Yeah my little baby.........

Now I tried to teach her how to jive
but she kept leading well man alive
so I sent her in to a strollin' queue
she starts hoppin' round like a kangaroo
Yeah my little baby's...........


HEART BREAKIN' MAMA

Heart breakin' mama when you gonna put me down
Heart breakin' mama been with every guy in town
well you broke their hearts but you won't break mine
cause I'm not gonna let you see me cryin'
Heart breakin' mama when you gonna put me down

Heart breakin' mama when you gonna set me free
Heart breakin' mama I'm not to blind to see
I called you twice and you don't call back
my suitcase is empty and your already packed
Heart breakin' mama when you gonna put me down

Heart breakin mama your as cold as ice
Heart breakin' mama want no more of your lies
well you tell me that that your mine alone
then I hear you flirtin' on the telephone
Heart breakin' mama when you gonna put me down

Heart breakin' mama when you gonna put me down
Heart breakin' mama tired of being your clown
well I thought that things would be different with me
but now I know they could never be
Heart breakin' mama when you gonna put me down


CHICKA BOOM

She sassy's by strollin' down the street
eyes pop out and your heart skips a beat
shaped like a goddess with a view from the back
like two squirrels struggling out of a sack
among the beauties she stands out in a room
that's my baby, baby chicka boom chicka boom

The cats all gather when she hits the town
just to find out where she'll be around
they try to woo her but to their suprise
she walks on by and barely flashes an eye
so well proportioned like a flower in bloom
that's my baby baby chicka boom chicka boom

she drives me crazy goin' outta my mind
my heart is racin' that's not a good sign
her perfumed body smellin' so divine
and when she's near me it get's har har har
harder all the time

A real gone kitten from her head to her feet
the kind a gal that your bustin' to meet
real tight skirt with the top to match
like two eggs getting ready to hatch
she drives me crazy like a ravin' loon
that's my baby, baby chicka boom chicka boom

I took her cruizin' and I showed her the town
we went out parkin' as the sun went down
I made my move at just the right pace
she screamed and slapped me right there in the face
no time for foolin' when we're under the moon
that's my baby, baby chicka boom chicka boom


YONDER COMES THE DEVIL

If you gotta little woman that's treatin' you right
don't go out cattin' on a saturday night
for a pretty little face you might happen to find
turn right around and don't pay her no mind
don't give her a wink not even a smile
you'll take an inch she'll expect a mile
then yonder comes the devil with the look in her eye
whisperin' in your ear and tellin' those lies

Now if whisky's your taste or maybe it's a brew
limit your rounds before the night is through
because when the drink is plenty by the end of the night
that beauty you found she might give you a fright
you'll wake up in the morning your heads full of lead
she'll be right by your side to remind the things that you said
then yonder comes the devil with the look in her eye
whisperin' in your ear and tellin' those lies

Now certain girls have certain things
like all their teeth and diamond rings
but then there's some that don't have much
just a net in hand to land their catch
and before you know it you'll be down the aisle
tremblin' hands and a nervous smile
then yonder comes the devil with the look in her eye
whisperin' in your ear and tellin' those lies

STUTTERIN' SUE

She's got a ha ha ha ha heart of gold
pretty little eyes of blue
she's got ar ar ar ar arms you wanna hold
when she smiles at you
she starts sta sta sta sta sta stutterin'
that's my stutterin' sue

Well I take her to a drive-Inn show
to a horror late at night
she starts screamin' in my ear so loud
she goes ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

ha ha ha ha heart of gold
pretty little eyes of blue
she's got ar ar ar ar arms you wanna hold
when she smiles at you
Yeah I lov lov lov lov lov lov love
love my stutterin' sue

Yeah when we're all alone at night
she starts holdin' me so tight
I kiss her on her ruby red lips
she goes ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

ha ha ha ha heart of gold
pretty little eyes of blue
she's got ar ar ar ar arms you wanna hold
when she smiles at you
Yeah I lov lov lov lov lov lov love
love my stutterin' sue


YOU AINT SO BIG (To Be Littlin' Me)

Well you ain't so big to be littlin' me
you ain't so big at all
you think your'e so high and mighty
to me your weak and small
you strut around in your fancy clothes
now you know that's all you own
you ain't so big to be littlin' me
you ain't so big at all

Oh can't you see
your're no better than me
take some time to look around
and you will plainly see
that wealth and fame don't mean a lot
if you've got no-one to call
you ain't so big to be littlin' me
you ain't so big at all

Well you ain't so big to be littlin' me
you ain't so big at all
your feet are so far off the ground
some day your sure to fall
you drive around in the latest car
and your always on the ball
but you ain't so big to be littlin' me
you ain't so big at all


LONESOME

Lonesome
I'm so lonesome
with out you darlin'
I'm so all alone

The sun has sunken low
the moon is high
the stars are shinning bright
in the midnight sky
and my body's trembling so
so much that I could die

The fire burns so bright
lighting up my room
it casts a single shadow
where there once was two
and I sit here wondering
my heart's sinking low
with memories of you

Each morning I awake
to face another day
the memories start flooding back
and in my mind they'll stay
and I keep waiting for
this pain to go away


BAD LUCK BLUES

I got a big fat mama she ain't right
nags and bugs all day and night
I got the bad luck blues
the bad luck blues
I got the bad luck blues
and brother I ain't amused

I come home each night about half past four
my dinner's cold under my old dogs paw
I got the bad luck blues
the bad luck blues
I got the bad luck blues
and brother I ain't amused

Well my job ain't flash but it pays the rent
I work all day but ain't got a cent
I got the bad luck blues
the bad luck blues
I got the bad luck blues
and brother I ain't amused

When I leave this world and go to heavens gate
I'll probably queue and have to wait
I got the bad luck blues
the bad luck blues
I got the bad luck blues
and brother I ain't amused



NO TURNING BACK

Half hearted love is what I'm giving to you
taking your sunshine and turning it blue
I'm heading along down off a beaten track
but there's no backing up there's no turning back

Too many woman in a one horse town
leading me astray alimony bound
just like a north bound train on a south bound track
I'm heading for disaster there's no turning back

Every man has a weakness of sort
hiding it away until he is caught
he'll lose his mind with a heart attack
when's he's gone to far there's no turning back

Now a pretty little face ain't easy to find
they always appear at just the wrong time
so play it smart with your plan of attack
cause when you cross that line there's no turning back


LONG GONE

I'm leaving town tomorrow
can't say when I'll be back
I'm leaving on the first train out
gonna ride ten miles of track
Well I'll be long gone
Long long gone from you
this time I'm gonna do it
I'll be so long gone from you

Yeah I'm going down to that station
gonna buy me a one way ticket
you can tell that lying cheating gal
tell her where to stick it
Well I'll be long gone
Long long gone from you
this time I'm gonna do it
I'll be so long gone from you

I'm gonna board that golden rocket
ride those ribbons of steel
and when the black smoke clears from the morning sun
you'll hear those ribbons squeal
cause I'll be long gone
Long long gone from you
this time I'm gonna do it
I'll be so long gone from you


FOOT IN THE DOOR

Ain't got no worries ain't got no troubles no more
ain't got a heartache no more the pacin' the floor
I got a date with a gal about a quarter to nine
the clocks a tickin' going outta my mind
gonna buy me some clothes down at the store
got a date with a doll I got my foot in the door

Got my foot in the door
ain't got no worries no more
got a long way to go
but I'v got me my foot in the door

Well I stopped by to a bar the other day
started drinking my life savings away
when a fella come up to me and he said
you keep drinking like that son you're gonna be dead
well I ain't finished till I end up on the floor
got a long way to go I've got my foot in the door

Got my foot in the door
ain't got no worries no more
got a long way to go
but I'v got me my foot in the door
