Big And Bad

Like a wild train rollin' so wild and full of steam
Once you get us going, it's like nothing you have seen
With some fire in your belly, you move a little faster
And the devil in your eye makes you hit a little harder

So where do you draw the line and tell yourself no more?
Is it when your back's against the wall or you're crawlin' on the floor?
It's always work, work, work some more until they say it's time
But fight the fight worth fighting and things will turn out fine

And I say Lordy, lordy lordy. Lordy lordy be
Lordy lordy lordy. Big and bad as we can be
This is what it means when we swing on you brother

So now that we know who we really trust
There’s plenty room for them but there's more room for us
When your feet don't touch the ground, there's nothing you can say
Just jump inside, enjoy the ride, and make the big boys pay

I Wanna Be Like You

Now I'm the king of the swingers, boy, Jungle V.I.P.
I've reached the top, and had to stop
And that's what's bothering me
I wanna be a man, now man cub
Stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeying around

So woowooooh, I wanna be just like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you do
You see it's true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human too, yeah

Now, don't you mess with me man-cub
I made a deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire
So I can be just like you

An' don't you mess with me man-cub
Show me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower
So I can be just like you

Who's That Creepin'?

Who's that creepin' through my window?
Who's that creepin' through my door?
You see I know lots and lots of folks around these parts
But I ain't never seen you before

I hear you creepin' through my kitchen
I hear you creepin' through my den
I'm startin' to get the shakes now Jack
You see, I don't know where you've been

I'm sweatin' and shakin' goin' out of my head
I'm observing from my position underneath my bed
I'm swearin' and pleadin' to leave me be
If you leave Mr., and set me free I said

Who's that creepin' through my bedroom?
Who's that creepin' through my hall?
If you leave right now and let me alone
I promise you I won't pick up that telephone no, no

When It Comes To Love

I'm just a small town guy with a handful of dreams
My future seems bright or that's how it seems
When it comes to love I'm in need of advice

I've got it all figured out I've got the world on a string
But baby there's really only one thing
When it comes to love I'm in need of advice

But when I look to the sky, I nearly die
Thinking about how it should be
But that's just me and I'll always be
Alone in my misery

It's like a long, cold walk in a winter beach
Love is a game you cannot teach
When it comes to love I'm in need of advice!

I'm Not Sleepin'

When the town fool is a liar and he's preaching to the choir
You've got a lot of explaining that you do
You see, no one likes a quitter. It makes us oh, so bitter
So drop your hat and sit for awhile

Ya see, every now and then again we struggle with our past
We try to stare it in the eye and pray that it won't last
Most questions that get answered they never make much sense
But I decided that I care and I'll get right down to it

And I said: I've stopped sleepin'
I told myself I'd never close my eyes again
I'm not sleepin'
I'm doin' now the best that I can

Well, I like it when you sit and get straight down to it
It suits you more than anyone will admit
Cause there's something in the air and no one seems to care
Nobody will stand up, not even on a dare

It's funny how we fool them with tears behind our smile
So tried and true, we plow right through and hope it's worth the while
Most questions that get answered, they never make much sense
But I decided that I care and I’ll get right down to it!

Some Things

On the 8th of November, I remember telling her
That we'd be together forever
But things have changed, now they've rearranged
We are now no longer together

It was the way she spoke, my heart broke
I never thought that I would love again
But then you came along, so I changed my song
With you, my life would never be the same

And things have changed, and they're only getting better

It was the day you were born, my attention was torn
I no longer only thought of myself
You see, there's half of you and half of me
And that love really set's me free

So now the moral to this tale is if your love should fail
Pick your heart up off the ground
You see, love comes down when you're nowhere around
It's just the way things have got to be

And things have changed, and they're only getting better

What's Next?

I've been up, I've been down I've been kicked to the ground
And that's nothing new for me
Like the dead of the night When everything's all right
It's where I wanna be

You see the life I live is the life I choose
I follow no one's laws I follow no one's rules
But when it's heads I win and tales you loose
It's not the game in which I choose

Strollin' in at dawn, wakin' up at noon
Is gonna catch up to me soon
But you can sleep when you're dead is what I said
Cause I'm jumpin' off the moon

Hold on, bear down, jump in and grin
Cause I'm comin' back your way
Get down, hold tight with all your might
Cause I'm comin' back to stay

What's next? I think I'll hit the streets
What's next? I think I'll have a drink
What's next? I think I'll bet my luck
Luck's coming back my way

Big Time Operator

I like to sneak a drink, and roll my smoke
You see I like my collars pressed
I wear big ol' hats, and fancy ties
And I hang late with my friends

I can take it on the chin with a cheshire grin
I'm a sinner, VIP
You know I like mixed drinks
I likes what I thinks
I think you know just what I mean

You know that heroes and legends are one and the same
Its-a how you play the game
You see, I'm no fool, I'm from the old school
It's the fire from the flame

I like a big ol' car, and fine cigars
You know I'll pick your pockets clean
I'm a snake-eye rollin', big league bowlin'
And I clean up on the green

I got the Jack, the Ace, the King and Queen
You know, I like my women mean
Cause I'm a big time operatin'
Never ever hesitatin' sinner VIP
Cause I'm a big time operatin'
Never ever hesitatin' sinner VIP

I like sneakin' a drink, and roll my smoke
You see I like my collars pressed
I wear big ol' hats, and fancy ties
And I hang late with my friends

I got the Jack, the Ace, the King and Queen
You know, I like my women mean
Cause I'm a big time operatin'
Never ever hesitatin' sinner VIP
Cause I'm a big time operatin'
Never ever hesitatin' sinner VIP

Still In Love With You

So, when it rains, I'll shield your head
And when you cry, I'll wipe those tears
Because it's you, through all these years
And I'm still in love with you

Drop to my knees at Christmas time
And ask you please, if you'd be mine
Because it's you, through all these years
And I'm still in love with you

We walked the streets of the Crescent City
We held hands in China Town
We watched the sun go down on the ocean blue
That's when I knew that I would always love you

So when the day turns into night
I know that everything's all right
Because it's you, through all these years
And I'm still in love with you. Yes, I'm still in love with you

2000 Volts

He's got a sharkskin suit and a diamond earring
He's got jet-black hair, just like his mother
He's got a jail tattoo, from his long-lost brother
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, without bail
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. The kind of guy, when he spoke to you, he stared you straight in the eye. You know, man, when he walked into the room, you would feel it. And 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

(The way the legend goes, is he was executed shortly after midnight. Some witnesses say he seemed to be enjoying himself. One witness said he died with a smile on his face. He was one bad, bad man)

Sleep Tight

Goodnight, baby, don't let the bedbugs bite
Sleep tight, Sydney, cause I'll be home tonight

Close your eyes now, and dream of happiness
Nothing can harm you, now that I'm home again

If you should wake tonight, I'll be there by your side
Angels watch over you, like parents want to do

Ol' MacDonald

Ol' MacDonald had a farm E-I-E-I-O
And on this farm there was a chick
Purtiest chick I know
With a little curve here and a little curve there
This chick, she had curves everywhere
Ol' MacDonald had a farm E-I-E-I-O

And oh, this chick, she had a walk E-I-E-I-O
And how this walk would drive em wild
Swingin' to and fro
With a little wiggle here and a little wiggle there
Man, this chick had moves to spare
Ol' MacDonald had a farm E-I-E-I-O

When she went walking into town E-I-E-I-O
The local gentry popped their eyes
Tarnation! What a show!
With a gol-dang here and a gosh darn there
Heavens to Betsy, I do declare!
Ol' MacDonald had a farm E-I-E-I-O

There was a barn dance Saturday night E-I-E-I-O
And fellas came from miles around just to see her do-si-do
With a promenade here, and a promenade there
At a square-dance, man, this chick's no square
Ol' MacDonald had a farm E-I-E-I-O

I used to be a travelin' man E-I-O
Until I hit MacDonald's place things were mighty slow
With a little chick here and a little chick there
I didn't have a real chick anywhere
Ol' MacDonald had a farm E-I-E-I-O

This farmer's daughter knocked me out E-I-E-I-O
I asked MacDonald for her hand and he hollered go
With a little curve here and a little wiggle there
A gol-dang here and a gosh darn there
A do-si-do here and a promenade there
I got my own private county fair
Ol' MacDonald had a farm E-I-O-I-A

Ol' MacDonald had a farm E-I-O-I-A
That's right, MacDonald! It's all or nothin', baby!
