Blue Jean Bop

(Vincent)



Blue jean baby with your big blue eyes
Don't want you looking at other guys
Got to make you give me one more chance
I can't keep still so, baby, let's dance

Well, the blue jean bop is the bop for me
It's the bop that's done in the dungaree
You dip your hip, you free your knee
Well, wiggle on your baby, one, two, three

Well, blue jean bop, blue jean bop a baby
Blue jean bop, blue jean bop a baby
Blue jean bop, baby, won't you bop with me?

Well, blue jean baby when I bop with you
Well, my heart starts a-hopping like a kangaroo
My feet do things they've never done before
Well, blue jean baby, give me more, more, more

Well, blue jean bop, blue jean bop a baby
Blue jean bop, blue jean bop a baby
Blue jean bop, baby, won't you bop with me?

Well, blue jean bop, blue jean bop a baby
Blue jean bop, blue jean bop a baby
Blue jean bop, baby, won't you bop with Gene?

(Williams)



Dum diddle dee dum dum
Little girl, where did you come from?
You fine little thing
You make my heart sing
Come on, baby, let me buy the wedding ring

Baby, you drive me crazy
Got my poor heart hazy
You got my senses reeling
Ooh, baby, what a feeling
Come on, baby, let me make love to you

She said, "yeah!"
She said, "yeah!"
She said, "yeah, yeah, yeah!" Come on, baby, I’m gonna make love to you too

In my soul
You know I love no one above you
Come on, baby, just let me love you, yeah

She said, "yeah!"
She said, "yeah, yeah, yeah!"
Come on, baby, I’m gonna make love with you too.

Well, you got me crazy
My love you've been saving
You see what I miss, I wanna kiss
Come on, baby, don't treat me like this

She said, "yeah!"

All Shook Up

(Blackswell/Presley)



Well, a bless-a my soul, what's wrong with me?
I’m itching like a man on a fuzzy tree
My friends says I’m acting wild as a bug
I’m in love-- I’m all shook up
Uh-huh-huh, uh-huh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh well, my hands are shaking and my knees are weak
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet
Who do you thank when you have such luck?
I’m in love-- I’m all shook up
. Uh-huh-huh, uh-huh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well now, please don't ask what's on my mind
I’m a little mixed up but I’m feeling fine
When I met a girl that I love the best
My heart beats so it scares me to death

When she touched my hand what a chill I got
Her lips are like a volcano when it's hot
I’m proud to say that she's my buttercup
I’m in love-- I’m all shook up
Uh-huh-huh, uh-huh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well now, please don't ask what's on my mind
I’m a little mixed up but I’m feeling fine
When I met a girl that I love the best
My heart beats so it scares me to death

When she touched my hand what a chill I got
Her lips are like a volcano when it's hot
I’m proud to say that she's my buttercup
I’m in love-- I’m all shook up
Uh-huh-huh, uh-huh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Run Devil Run

(McCartney)



Run, devil, run
The angel's having fun
Making winners out of sinners
Better leave before he's done
When he gets through, he'll be coming after you
Listen what I’m saying to you, run…
Run, devil, run

By a swamp in Alabama in the cold and damp
Sitting reading by the light of a kerosene lamp
Lives a holy roller with a mission on her mind
Got to spread the word to anyone she can find
You can hear her screaming any time of night or day
This is what she says to keep her demons away

Run, devil, run
The angel's having fun
Making winners out of sinners
Better leave before he's done
When he gets through, he'll be coming after you
Listen what I’m saying to you, run…
Run, devil, run

Her brother and her sister said that she brought them down
Stepping on a bus that was heading for town
There they started drinking, they got into a fight
The sheriff introduced them to the jailhouse for a night
When the holy roller came to town to pay the bill
This is what she sang as she was leaving the jail

Run, devil, run
The angel's having fun
Making winners out of sinners
Better leave before he's done
When he gets through, he'll be coming after you
Listen what I’m saying to you, run…
Run, devil, run

Well, by the middle of the summer they were back at the shack
Picking cotton for a living, keeping on the right track
Visiting the neighbors, trying to spread the good news
Singing gospel music with a hint of the blues
All of them determined to deliver the goods
Man, you hear the music coming out of the woods

Run, devil, run
The angel's having fun
Making winners out of sinners
Better leave before he's done
When he gets through, he'll be coming after you
Listen what I’m saying to you, run…
Run, devil, run

No Other Baby

(Bishop/Watson)



But I don't want no other baby but you
I don't want no other baby but you
’Cos no other baby can thrill me like you do

Got a little woman, lives across the hall
I got a little woman, she lives across the hall
And most every evening she's asking me to call

But I don't want no other baby but you
I don't want no other baby but you
’Cos no other baby can thrill me like you do

But lots of other women say “Be my daddy, do”
Yeah, lots of other women say, “Be my daddy, do” But I tell them I don't want no other baby but you

I said, I don't want no other baby but you
I don't want no other baby but you
’Cos no other baby can thrill me like you do

Lonesome Town

(Knight)



There's a place where lovers go
To cry their troubles away
And they call it Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay

Well, you can buy a dream or two
To last you all through the years
and the only price you pay
Is a heart full of tears

Going down to Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay
Going down to Lonesome Town
To cry my troubles away

Well now, in the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regrets
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget

Try Not to Cry

(McCartney)



Sometimes I’m right
Sometimes I’m wrong
How can I help it
If I don't know the song?

All day I try
To be a man
Help me to do it
Show me the plan

Try, try, try
Try not to cry, cry, cry
Cry over you
Over you

Yes I try, try, try
Try not to cry, cry, cry
Cry over you
Over you

I want to enjoy
Being alive
Don't wanna leave
Before I arrive
I like to sing
I’ll sing along
How can I do it
If I don't know the song?

Try not to cry, cry, cry
Cry over you
Over you

Baby I try, try, try
Try not to cry, cry, cry
Cry over you
Over you

Movie Magg

(Perkins)



Now, let me take you to the movies, Magg
So I can hold your hand
Oh, it ain't that I don't like your house
It's just that doggone man
And that double barrel behind the door
That waits for me, I know
Oh, climb upon old Becky's back
And let's ride to the picture show

I only see her once a week
And it's when my work is through
I break new ground the whole week long
But my mind's set straight on you
And I polished up my old horse Beck
And she looks good, I know
So climb upon old Becky's back
And let's ride to the picture show

Well, I break new ground all week long
With my mind set straight on you
And every time I try to smile
My heart it breaks in two
I slick myself for Saturday night
‘Cos there's one thing I know
I’m gonna take my Maggie dear
To the Western picture show

Now won't you let me take you to the show
So I can hold your hand
Oh, it ain't that I don't like your house
It's just that doggone man
And that double barrel behind the door
That waits for me, I know
Oh, climb upon old Becky's back
And let's ride to the picture show

Brown-Eyed Handsome Man

(Berry)



Well, flying across the desert in a TWA
I saw a woman walking in the sand
She'd be walking thirty miles en route to Bombay
To meet a brown-eyed handsome man
Her destination was a brown-eyed handsome man

Way back in history three thousand years
In fact ever since the world began
There's been a whole lotta good women shedding tears
Over a brown-eyed handsome man
A lot of trouble was a brown-eyed handsome man.
Well, the Milo de Venus was a beautiful lass
She had the world in the palm of her hand
She lost both her arms in a wrestling match
To win a brown-eyed handsome man
She fought and won herself a brown-eyed handsome man

Well, a beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind
Between a doctor and a lawyer man
Her mother told her daughter go out and find yourself
A brown-eyed handsome man
Just like your daddy was, a brown-eyed handsome man

Well, a two, three the count with nobody home
He hit a high flyer into the stand
A rounded third he was a-heading for home
It was a brown-eyed handsome man
That won the game, it was a brown-eyed handsome man
It was a brown-eyed handsome man.

What It Is

(McCartney)



You are what it is
That makes the world go around for me
You are what I need
You make me feel good about myself
You see, I love you so much
I can never do without your touch
I’m like a busy honeybee
I’m always hungry for it
How could anyone ignore it?
Surely everybody will agree

That you are what it is
That makes the cloud roll around the sky
Oh yeah, you got what it takes
You make me proud to be who I am
You see, I love you so much
I can never do without your touch
I’m like a busy honeybee
I’m always hungry for it
How could anyone ignore it?
Surely everybody must agree

That you are what it is
That makes the world go around for me
You are what I need
You make me feel good about myself
You see, I love you so much
I can never do without your touch
I’m like a busy honeybee
I’m always hungry for it
How could anyone ignore it?
Surely everybody must agree

That you are what it is
That makes the world go around for me
You make the world go around for me
Yeah, you make the world go around
World go around
World go around for me
You're what it is

Coquette

(Green/Kahn/Lombardo)



Hear me, why you keep fooling
Little coquette
Making fun of the one who loves you?
Breaking hearts you are ruling
Little coquette
True hearts tenderly dreaming of you

Someday you'll fall in love
As I fell in love with you
Maybe the one you love
Will just be fooling too

And when you are alone
With all your regrets
You know, my little coquette
I love you

Mm, Someday you'll fall in love
As I fell in love with you
Maybe the one you love
Will just be fooling too

And when you are alone
With all your regrets
Now, you know, my little coquette
I love you

I Got Stung

(Schroeder/Hill)



Holy smoke!
Landsakes alive!
I never thought this could happen to me

I got stung by the sweet honeybee
Oh, what a feeling came over me
Well, it started in my eyes
Crept up to my head
Flew into my heart till I was stone dead
I’m done
U-huh
I got stung

She got all that I wanted and more
And I’ve seen honeybees before
Well, she started in my ear
Buzzing in my brain
Got stung all over but I feel no pain
I’m done
Uh-huh
I got stung

Well, don't think I’m complaining
Because I’m mighty pleased that we met
But you give me one little peck on the back of my neck
And I break out in a cold, cold sweat

If I live to be a hundred and two
I won't let nobody sting me but you
I’ll be buzzing round your hive
Everyday at five
Never gonna leave once I arrive
I’m done Uh-huh
I got stung
I got stung, yeah
I got stung, yeah

Well, don't think I’m complaining
Because I’m mighty pleased that we met
But you give me one little peck on the back of my neck
And I break out in a cold, cold sweat

If I live to be a hundred and two
I won't let nobody sting me but you
I’ll be buzzing round your hive
Everyday at five
Never gonna leave once I arrive
I’m done
Uh-huh
I got stung, yeah

I’m done
Uh-huh
I got stung, yeah

Because I’m doneBr> Uh-huh
I got stung
I got stung, yeah…

(Turner)



Well, come into this house, stop all that yakety yak
I said, come into this house, stop all that yakety yak
’Cos your sugar daddy don't want no talking back

Shake A Hand

(Morris)



Just leave it to me
Now don't you ever be changed
Just give me a chance
And I’ll take care of everything

Your troubles I share
I’ll let you know when I’ll be there
I’ll take care, take care of you
Any place and everywhere

Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand if you can
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand if you can

Be truthful to me
And I’ll be truthful to you
But I’m in love, I’m in love with your soul
And I don't now just what to do

So let's call it a day
I’ve said all I’ve gotta say
Except, oh yeah, baby, you gotta learn how to pray
And shake a hand every day

Be truthful to me
And I’ll be truthful to you
But I’m in love, I’m in love with your soul
And I don't now just what to do

Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand if you can
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand if you can
