Texte zum Album “the look”
The Look
Walking like a man, hitting like a hammer
She's a juvenile scam, never was a quitter
Tasty like a raindrop - she's got the look
Heavenly bound, cause heaven's got a number
When she's spinning me around, kissing is a color
Her loving is a wild dog - she's got the look
Ref:
She's got the look
She's got the look
What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue
When everything I'll ever do I'll do for you
And I go la la la la la - she's got the look
Fire in the ice, naked to the t-bone
Is a lover's disguise, banging on the head drum
Shaking like a mad bull - she's got the look
Swaying to the band, moving like a hammer
She's a miracle man, loving is the ocean
Kissing is the wet sand - she's got the look

Mary Lou
Well, every morning I awake
I hope you’re close to me
But when I look around
Emptiness is what I found
See the girl with the red dress on
With the long black hair
She got big brown eyes
Yes, she looks very nice
And in my dreams I’ll be with you
It seems like paradise we’re walking through
And when I’m back in reality
There are different things I see
Ref:
Mary Lou
He wants to be with Mary Lou
Sometimes when I look at you
You got the sweetest smile I see
After that my heart beats fast
And it’s goin‘ smelts by blast
Maybe I will consult you
If I could take you out
But when I look in your eyes
My knees are weak and my tongue gets tired

Something I Said
Hey, was it something I said
Made you feeling blue
You know that I love you
Hey, was it something I said
Was it something I said
Did I make you cry
I didn't tell you no lie
Was it something I said
When I'm with you-you-you
you oughta tell all them blues to sh-sh, sh-sh-sh
You oughta be snappy, lookin' real happy
But something's wrong, hey
What's the matter with something I said
Have I made you blue
You know that I love you
Was it something I said

Never Be Blue Again
Oh, since you`re gone
I cried all night long
But now I’ll find me someone new
Goin‘ to town and losin‘ all my Blues
I got a pocketful of nickles, a pair of brand new shoes
And when I go to town I’m losin‘ all my Blues
I’m gettin‘ me a baby with starlight in her eyes
I’m gonna hug and kiss her morning, noon and night
Ref:
A-hop-bop-a-loo-bop, jump tonight
Rockin‘ and rollin‘ to dawn’s early light
And never, hop-skop-di-dob, be blue again
Drive-in-movies and bunny-hops
Rockin‘ and boppin‘ in my bobby-socks
Stompin‘ to the rhythm of the crazy beat
Gettin‘ together, cheek to cheek
And when the morning breaks I’ll bring my baby back home
Her mother will love me like her native son
You kids may think I’m crazy and you might be right
‘Cause being crazy is the way I like it like

Studebaker
I was born in Memphis/Tennessee in 1938
And I´m a Rockabilly boy loves-a-boppin‘ to the beat
I have my hair piled high like the King of Rock ’n‘ Roll
I have a well-paid job and a Hi-Fi phono
But all I want is a Studebaker
‘Cause I don´t want to drive motorbike no more
And all the cats I know, they‘ve got a big fast car
I want no Cadillac, no Thunderbird, no Chevrolet
I want a big black Studebaker now
I would drive up the road, down to the beach
And I‘d look for some chicks everywhere in town
‘Cause I know that everyone would like my big fast car
But with my motorbike, I will never get some chicks
That‘s it why I want a Studebaker…
REF
I want a Studebaker, Studebaker - right now
And all the cats I know they‘ve got a big fast car
I want no Cadillac, no Thunderbird, no Chevrolet
I want a big black Studebaker now
Well, I know I could have the prettiest girl in town
Her name is Mary Lou and her hair is long an‘ brown
But also I know if I got my Studebaker
I could have every other girl around
That‘s it why I want a Studebaker…
Well, my best friend Jim got a white ‘88
David drives around with a pick-up Dodge
And Mike got a Firebird built for speed
But I got a dirty old motorbike
That‘s it why I want a Studebaker…

Movin‘ And Groovin‘
Ref:
Move, Baby, groove, Baby, romp and stomp
Roll, Baby, stroll, Baby, rock and bop
We’re gonna, move, groove
Well, I woke up this morning and I felt so fuckin‘ ill
I remembered what to do so I took some fuckin‘ pills
And slowly I remembered how I went to my bed
And slowly I remembered what happened to my head
The boys and me went out last night at the Alad Inn
And when we moved and grooved we started to sing
The whole night long we drank and sang around
And lately I was laughing at the dancefloor ground
My friends helped me up goin‘ out on the street
And then I laughed again, but now on my feet
In my brain it started movin‘ and groovin‘ around
And my head started jumpin‘ and singin‘ so loud
Then I lost control over my body
I walked against my car, it was not funny
A policeman picked me up and asked me where I live
I only tried to tell him that I now had to piss
I did it nthen and there, exactly on his leg
That’s all what I remember then I only saw black

Rockabilly Rebel
My Mama don't like it, the way I comb my hair
Papa thinks I'm crazy, in the clothes I wear
It's a hit come on records and I play it all day
But I'm what I am and I'm gonna keep a rockin' that way
Ref:
I'm a Rockabilly rebel from head to toe
I gotta keep a-rockin' everywhere I go
Everybody join us, we're good company
Be a real cool cat, be a Rockabilly rebel like me
The kids in the schoolhouse they couldn't wait too long
When the school is over, they put their cat clothes on
Oughta hear the slap bass swingin' to the band
It is a real rockin' rhythm that is sweepin' all over this land
Squares get the message, get the boppin' beat
Let them tramp through your body, from the head to your feet
Shakin' in your shoes, boy, oh, don't it make you feel wow
Well if you can't dance, we're gonna show you how

Fantastic Four
We are smart and we are young
We are in good taste and we are strong
We are the prettiest boys in town
Always busy not hangin‘ around
We have to pile our hair, we have to make some dates
And then we have to play with some of our mates
And we rock ’n’ bop ’n’ hip ’n’ hop ’n’ jump ’n’ jive the whole night long
Ref:
Oh-oh – one thing we gotta say
Oh-oh – we say it ev’ry day
Oh-oh – you really gotta know
Oh-oh-oh-oh – we are the fantastic four
We are cool and we are sweet
We are charming all the girls we meet
For everything we do we have a lot of power
‘Cause we know that this world, this world is ours
We often clean our shoes, cut the fingernails
We often buy some flowers ’cause we have a lot of taste
And we rock ’n’ bop ’n’ hip ’n’ hop ’n’ jump ’n’ jive the whole night long
We are genius, we are tough
We are sexy, have money enough
We are the boys with the tuned-up car
We are the dreams of all mothers-in-law
We use to drink Champagne, eat caviar and toast
Don’t care about this song, ’cause we often like to boast
And we rock ’n’ bop ’n’ hip ’n’ hop ’n’ jump ’n’ jive the whole night long

Nutbush City Limits
A church house, gin house
A school house, outhouse
On highway number nineteen
The people keep the city clean
They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush city limits
Twenty-five was the speed limit
Motorcycles not allowed in it
You go t'the store on Friday
You go to church on Sundays
They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush city limits
You go to the fields on week days
And have a picnic on Labor Day
You go to town on Saturday
But go to church every Sunday
They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush city limits
No whiskey for sale
You get drunk, no bail
Salt pork and molasses
Is all you get in jail
They call it Nutbush, oh, Nutbush
They call it Nutbush city limits
They call it Nutbush, oh, Nutbush
They call it Nutbush city limits…

Young Hearts
Young hearts
Should beat together
Oh yeah, Forever
Young dreams
Should be dreamed together
Oh yeah, Forever
Teenage years pass by so fast
So, c’mon take a chance it might be your last
And if you only believe that dreams can come true
A love so great will come right up to you
Young lovers
Should live together
Oh yeah, Forever

She’s Twenty-Nine
She’s 29, pretty kind
The way she smiles makes me feel so fine
She‘s a real cool brace, precious our love
Her hugs and squeezes like heaven above
Rips me up, she turns me on
Well, I’m gone, gone, always gone
She looks quiet and shine, with glasses on
Has her favorite job at the telephone
Looks not interesting, like a grey mouse
A typewriting woman as a devil’s delight
When she takes her glasses off
You’re gone, gone, heaven’s gone
Ref:
She looks at me, hits me like a hammer
She lights at me with a mystic glamour
My heart beats wild like a slappin‘ bass
A different kind of human race
She’s serious, seems so cool
When she drinks she plays the rule
She‘s a real hot chick looks like twenty-one
Has wicked hooters and a perfect bum
One view of her makes me transpire
You know, she’s the one who starts the fire

Hard Days
Hard days, hard days
Hard days will go by, Baby, and lonely nights
Will pass by maybe, if you could only
Fall in love, in love with me
I’ll give you sunbeams and rainbows and as the years go by
Our love, it will grow, if you could only
Fall in love, in love with me
Just a smile from your lips
Would make me so glad
But these tears in your blue eyes
Would make me so sad
So c’mon
Let’s take a chance, dear, young lovers, you know
They shouldn’t be afraid, Dear, and you have only
To fall in love, in love with me

Pale Moon
Well, I’ll tell you my story though you know that story well
My baby’s gone and I will stay at Heartbreak Hotel
Pale Moon, please stop hangin‘ over me
Oh, yes I lost my baby, lost my only shugaree
I’m workin‘ at the station and I work around the clock
My family’s poor but healthy and we never had bad luck
Pale moon, please stop callin‘ out my name
Yes, you got my baby, give me back my only girl
Don’t know why she was cheatin‘ and tearin‘ up my heart
I only know I love her, yes I loved her from the start
Pale moon, c’mon give me back my girl
Give me back my baby, give me back my only pearl

Untamed Love
Stardust is twinkling, twinkling in your eyes
And rainbows become bridges when you cross the skies
In my heart it is burning, burning with a sigh
My untamed love
I reach for the mountains and I reach for the sea
Every place you will go, you’ll always find me
In my heart it is burning, burning endlessly
My untamed love
Every night I pray to heaven up above:
God, send me an Angel to guard our precious love
And I hope one day that you will see
That you were made, made for only me
Until the day I grow old, ’til the day I die
Every way you walk on, you’ll find me by your side
And my heart is yearning, still yearning for you
My untamed love

Rhythm Bound
Well, I'm a hard workin' man with tremblin' hands
I only got a little money but I got a lot of friends
And when my work is over I get my daily pay
Got to take a shower before I'm goin' on a stray
O-wee man, I really dig that sound
Because I'm awfully rhythm bound
I got to shine my shoes, got to comb my hair just right
I'm evil-looking, but not looking for a fight
At the hop they play these songs with a blue, blue note
And I'm boppin' with my Baby in her pink petticoat
O-wee man, I really dig that sound
Because I'm awfully rhythm bound
One o'clock, twinkling stars
Making love with my baby in her Thunderbird car
Now I know she's my very steady date
But I got to bring her home because it's gettin' pretty late
I got one thousand records of my favourite stars
Two thousand autographs of those idols near and far
The only destination haunting me through sleepless nights
Is to see one day my name written in lights
O-wee man, I really dig that sound
Because I'm awfully rhythm bound

Drinking Beer, Drinking Wine
Beer is a drink made out of hops'n'malt'n'water
Beer is a drink you don't let drink nei son nor daughter
But we like to booze it without no end
So we're mostly pissed, but here comes the band:
Ref:
Drinking beer, drinking wine, makes you feelin' fine
Don't ask about your liver, drink that beer and wine
Wine is a drink which is made out of grapes
Wine is drink of which there are a lot of tastes
We like to booze it without no end
So we have constantly to piss 'cause it's the pressure we can't stand
Now you have heard a little story of the band
Now you know that we like to booze without no end
We like to booze a beer, we like to booze a wine
We like to booze - all the time
