Jumpin' Jack

When you hit the dance floor you gotta be Jumpin Jack
Jump on in jump with your baby
Like a wild train rollin right down you track
Wow Wow you just can't stop it
Like a wild train rollin right down your track
Wow Wow watch it watch it

13 Women(sung by the lovely & talented Dirk Shumaker)

Last night I was dreaming
Dreamed about the H-Bomb
Well the bomb it went off and I looked around
I was the only man left on the ground

Thirteen women and only one man in town
There were thirteen women and only man in town
Well as funny as it may be
The only livin' man in town was me
There were thirteen women and only one man in town

I had two gals every morning
Seein' that I was well fed
And believe you me, one sweetened my tea
While another one buttered my bread

Two gals gave me my money
And two gals made me my clothes
And another sweet thing bought me a diamond ring
About 40 karats I suppose

Thirteen women and only one man in town
There was thirteen women and only man in town
Well it's something I can't forget
'Cause I think of those thirteen women yet
There were thirteen women and only one man in town

I had three gals doin' the Mambo
Three gals ballin' the jack
And all of those gals really did their best
They were all a lively pack

I thought I was in Heaven
And all of these angels were mine
But the alarm went off and I hit the ground
'Cause I had to get to work on time

Thirteen women and only one man in town
There was thirteen women and only man in town
Well I can't tell you where I've been
'Cause I'm thinkin' that I might go back again
To the thirteen women and only one man in town

Cruel Spell

I walked in and she was waitin'
It was late and I was drunk
She said "It's quarter to ten. Where have you been?
You better hava a good excuse for me"

I said "I hate the police department
'Cause that's where I spent the night
First I hit a bar and smashed my car
And I ended up in a fight"

She slapped a cruel spell of love on me, baby
A cruel spell of love on me, Jack
She slapped a cruel spell of love on me, baby
She wore the black night gown for me

She slapped a cruel spell of love on me, baby
A cruel spell of love on me, Jack
She slapped a cruel spell of love on me, baby
She made a deal with the devil for me

King of Swing

When you feel your bones a shakin'
And your temperature is risin
And the groove begins to move you
It's the King of Swing....

When you see those fires burnin'
And your fever is a risin'
And the drums begin a poundin'
It's the King of Swing...

Beggar's Blues

Ain't got no money to get a shave
Ain't got no time to get a job
I drink my whisky; I drink my wine
I left my worries far behind

I'm feelin' hungry; I'm feelin' broke
If you could spare one, I could surely use a smoke
I got no history; I got no past
If you don't help me, don't think I'll last

I got to get more time
To drink a bit more wine
I've got the perfect crime
Brother can you spare a dime?

You see me standin' on your street
My hands are open; I got nothin' there to eat
I drink my whiskey; I drink my wine
I want the band to play when I die

Machine Gun

He's got a pinstripe suit and a black fedora.
He's got a jail tattoo, from his long-lost brother
He's got jet-black hair, just like his mother
He's got a shotgun fuse, don't you pull his trigger

Broke from jail without a gun
Public enemy number one
Killed a man on the run
On the lam, with his friends
Headed straight back to jail
Nowhere else for him to go daddy-o, daddy-o

He's gonna make his mark at a Vegas hotel
He rolls snake-eyes, Jack
He's gonna make his money

He's headin' west, on a killin' spree Down in L.A., you know the killin's free

(He was born on the 4th of July. When he spoke to you, Man, he stared you straight in the eye. He's the kind of man, when he walked into the room, you would feel it.The kind of man, when he walked in the room, it sounded like this)

He got a hundred years, and the electric chair
His final words were, "I don't care"

Fire (Sung by the lovely & talented Dirk Shumaker)

Help me! Help me! Oh help me baby! I’m on fire and no one can save my but you!

Water can't cool this fire, and I know the reason why
I'm so much in love with you, can't leave you and I ain't gonna try

Every time I see your face my heart starts burnin'
Every time I touch your hand, I get that yearnin'

Every time I call your name, my poor heart bursts out in flames
'Cause you're to blame for all this pain. I'm on fire

Water can't cool this fire, and I know the reason why
I'm so much in love with you, can't leave you and I ain't gonna try

Holy smokes, gonna tell my folks I'm on fire
Great Cucamonga, little sugar you're my desire

Well, all my friends are burnin' too, Cause I'm smokin' over you
Smolderin' and blisterin' what am I gonna do? I'm on fire

Water can't cool this fire, and I know the reason why
I'm so much in love with you, can't leave you and I ain't gonna try

Water can't cool this fire, and I know the reason why
I'm so much in love with you, can't leave you and I ain't gonna try

Holy smokes, gonna tell my folks I'm on fire
Great Cucamonga, little sugar you're my desire

Well, all my friends are burnin too, Cause I'm smokin over you
Smolderin' and blisterin', what am I gonna do? I'm on fire

Water can't cool this fire, and I know the reason why
I love ya, I love ya, I love ya, baby, I'll love you till the day I die

Oh baby, you know what I like!

She's Gone

Five years bad luck. Spell on me
It's as easy as four and three
She was the worst thing about me
My baby left. My baby went away

She went away. Away from me
She went away. Away from me

I've seen some good times
Well, all I can say is
She went away

Stand in front of me. I'm on my back
Once you started now, no turnin' back
She was the worst thing about me
My baby left. My baby went away

She went away. Away from me
She went away. Away from me

I've seen some good times
Well, all I can say is
She went away

I've had some good luck. I've had some bad
Luck is one thing I don't have
She was the worst thing about me
My baby left. My baby went away

She went away. Away from me
She went away. Away from me
I've seen some good times
Well, all I can say is
She went away

So Long, Good Bye

Scotty:
So long my friends, farewell goodbye
I'd love to stay an play and drink for awhile
But it's time to hit the road and say goodbye
So long farewell goodbye

Andy:
Goodbye to my friends I'm glad you were here
It's time for us to go and get another beer
Well I like to see your smiling faces again
So come back my friends come back

Dirk:
Thank you for the open invitation
your kind applause and adulation
but look at the time, lord we got to fly
so long farewell baby bye-bye

Ralph Votrain:
To all you people, I say so long
Don't be sad when we are gone
Give me a smile and a wink of your eye
So long farewell bye-bye

Dirk:
Give me a smile and a warm embrace
Pick up your coat and grab that old suitcase
I hear the whistle blowin' down the track
Can't say for sure when we&'re coming back

So long farewell baby bye-bye
and now we're leaving with tears in our eyes
We'll be back soon so don't you cry
So long farewell bye-bye
