Swingin’ On Nothing

Swingin' all day, swingin' on nothing
Swingin' away, swingin' on nothing
Swingin' i say, swingin' on nothing

Swingin' away, swingin' on nothing
Swingin' for pay, swingin' on nothing
Early in the morning

Mercury

My Daddy said to me
You’ll never gonna be
In the possibility to afford your dream
But I worked hard, lived on cheap food
Never did a real trip for holydays in Hollywood
To make my dreams come true

I love my Mercury

I’ll never get away
That thought that caught my brain
Nearly day by day I dream a dream
I got a big-block engine, 32 valves
Dual carburators and a double exhausts
Four hot burnin’ wheels just built for speed

When you push the pedal it starts to roar
Engine shivers as you push to the floor
When you speed it up your body gets shakes
Kiss the steering-wheel as you slam on the brakes

Dang Me

Well, here I sit high, gettin' ideas
Ain't nothin' but a fool would live like this
Out all night and runnin' wild
Woman's sittin' home with a month old child

Dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope ‘n hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me?

Just sittin' 'round drinkin' with the rest of the guys
Six rounds bought and I bought five
I spent the groceries and a half the rent
I lack fourteen dollars, havin' twenty seven cents

They say roses are red and violets are purple
And sugar's sweet and so is maple syrple
And, I'm seventh out of seven sons
My pappy was a pistol, I'm a son of a gun

Ridin' On A Bullet

When you hear a roar and you see a flashin' light
You can bet I'm passin' by in my hot-rod tonight
A V-8 engine, four double carburators
400 horses make my ride go straighter
I will pass you by as if you ride a ton o' lead
‘Till you're gearin' down I'll be a hundred miles ahead

I'm ridin' on a bullet

I'm not riding fast, just flying little low
She's shakin' like a mad bull on a rodeo
Driftin' through the curves on chromed wide wheels
If you're not hot-roddin' don't know how it feels
Don't care about complainin' that I might be way too fast
Nothing's gonna stop me till I'm running out o' gas

I'm ridin' on a bullet - you can see the sparks fly
Ridin' on a bullet - as you see me passin’ by
Ridin' on a bullet - and the message is clear
Seems I pull the trigger when I put her in gear

If your car is fast and you got the nerve to ride
Roll your wreck over and turn up the headlights
We’ll be doin’ a hundred as we’re shootin’ down the track
Praise your guardian angel if you’re ever gettin’ back
You may have a lead over this old bomb of mine
But I’ll be right ahead when you cross the finish-line

Sixteen Chicks

Well, I got two, four, six, eight - I got two, four, six, eight
I got sixteen chicks, sittin' in a tree
One turned around and took a look at me
Hey, hey, little chick tell me what's on your mind
You got me walkin' and talkin' and laughin' just to keep from cryin'

I knew some day that the tide would turn
We all got a lesson that we gotta learn
Hey, hey, little chick tell me what's on your mind
You got me walkin' and talkin' and laughin' just to keep from cryin'

Come to my house, but you couldn't come in
Me and my baby was making friends
Hey, hey, little chick tell me what's on your mind
You got me walkin' and talkin' and laughin' just to keep from cryin'

You make my temperature rise, my head going 'round
I need you baby when the sun goes down
Hey, hey, little chick tell me what's on your mind
You got me walkin' and talkin' and laughin' just to keep from cryin'

Faith

Well I guess it would be nice, if I could touch your body
I know not everybody has got a body like you
But I've got to think twice, before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play, because I play them, too

Oh but I need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
Oh when that love comes down without devotion
Well it takes a strong man, baby, but I'm showing you the door

'Cause I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith
Because I gotta to have faith, faith, faith
I gotta to have faith

Baby, I know you're asking me to stay
Say please, please, please, don't go away
You say I'm giving you the blues
Maybe, you mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to lover boy rules

Before this river becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh, Baby, I reconsider my foolish notion
Well, I need someone to hold me but I wait for something more

Rock Me if You Can

Put me up when I’m down
Take my hand and keep spinning me around
You know I’ve never been a friend of any Rockabilly band
Get me high when I’m low
Make me feel like I’m a part of the show
You know I’ve never been a friend of any Rockabilly band

Who-oh-oh - rock me if you can
Who-oh-oh - in your Rockabilly land
Don’t believe your lies of a promised land
Come on over and take my hand
Come on, Baby, rock me if you can
Rock me if you can

If you claim that it’s true
Come on, make me feel it, too
I have never been a friend of any Rockabilly band
Try to change my mind, you know I’m not of your kind
I have never been a friend of any Rockabilly band

Now I see what you mean
I can hear them holler and scream
Now I’m a friend of this Rockabilly band
If you find I am mad
It’s because of the fun that we had
Now I’m a friend of this Rockabilly band

Who-oh-oh - rock me if you can
Who-oh-oh - in your Rockabilly land
I believe your tellings of this promised land
Come on over and take my hand
Come on, Baby, rock me if you can
Rock me if you can

Call It Rock 'n' Roll

Four wheels are turnin', gasoline is burnin'
Endless on the road, airplane, sea-boat
Little fish - big fish, living on a night-wish
Little stars, no sun, big shows an' no fun

What place - can’t tell, take me to the hotel
Same room, every place leavin' without a trace
Eat junk, get drunk, look human, stink-skunk
Meet folks everyday, no friends in any way

Call it Rock 'n' Roll - may the devil grab my soul
Call it Rock 'n' Roll - monkey business outta control

TV - lean back, pizza and a six-pack
Waitin’ for the Big Bang, nothing but a fool's game
Things happen too fast, none of them will last
This life is danger, a friend becomes a stranger

Drinking with the guys, next morning bloodshot-eyes
End up with a dame, don’t even know her name
Does she know who I am – guess she don’t give a damn
Keep it up and stand tall, is it really worth it all

You're So Hot

Every time you cross my way
You blow my mind away
I’m all mixed up, nothing to say
But I can´t stop thinking about you
Perfect hips, perfect style
Pretty chicks make me smile
I´m your Rockefeller an' you’re my Rockabella
Please stay for a while
And when we have a date
For sure you will be late
It doesn´t matter you look great
I'll show you nothing gonna stop me now

You’re so hot, I can’t stop thinkin’ about you

I like the way you walk on by
I like the way you give me a smile
I melt like ice on a sunny day
I´m telling you baby you stole my heart away
And when you touch me you drive me crazy
You seem to be my perfect lady
I promise you, you won´t regret
I show you something that makes you sweat
When it comes to lovin'
In the middle oft the night
Everything you’re doing to me
You do it right

I Wanna Be Like You

Now I'm the king of the swingers, oh, the jungle VIP
I've reached the top and had to stop and that's what botherin' me
I wanna be a man, mancub and stroll right into town
And be just like the other men, I'm tired of monkeyin' around!

So, oobee-doo, I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too
You'll see it's true
An ape like me can learn to be human, too

Now don't try to kid me, mancub, I made a deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire to make my dream come true
Give me the secret, mancub, clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower, so I can be like you

Get A Drink

Sometimes there are some days where I don´t know what to do
I look into an empty room or a never ending tube
It turns me up, it turns me down like on a swing boat
And I can´t stand this feeling like my wife my favourite pink coat
And now I have to leave, must shake off all my laziness
Getting out of here to get into that craziness

Get out of my bed, get into my shoes
Get into my car to the city
Get out of the car, get into my bar
Where the girls are so pretty.

Sunday morning I feel so sick and I keep lying in bed
Today I will try to take a break and rest all my bones and my head
In the afternoon the telephone rings, my best friend's on the phone
He said: “C´mon over an' let us meet for a little drink down in town”
And so I have to leave to shake off all my laziness
Getting out of here to get into that craziness

Step in - let the joy begin
Right to the bar - allright so far
Get a drink - what do you think
A beer and a shot - another, why not
Gonna get loose - gimme more of that booze
Gonna get gassed and another night passed

Don’t Be Angry

Don't be angry and drive me away
I know I was wrong, please let me stay

Well, I've been a fool, dear, for you I know
But I realize now,tThat I love you so

If you will forgive me
For causing you this pain
I promise you, my darling
I won't hurt you again

Don't be angry, please hear what I say
Well, give me a chance, dear, don't drive me away

Give me just one more chance
To prove my love is true
You won't regret it, dear
But I'll make it up to you

Rockin’ Rollin’ Stone

Hey, rock, rock, rock, rock
Hey, rock, rock, rock, rock

I'm just a rockin', rollin' stone
I'm just a rockin', rollin', jumpin', crazy stone

Well, a rollin' stone don't gather no more, they say
Well, a rollin' stone don't gather no more, they say
Well, I'll keep a-rollin', you can throw it, you're miles away

Well, a rockin' horse just goes nowhere at all
I know a rockin' horse just goes nowhere at all
Well, I'll keep a-rockin' till I tumble, stumble and fall

I learned how to jump from a queen in Mexico
I learned how to jump from a queen in Mexico
I'll keep a-jumpin', it's the craziest thing I know

Well, you just can't roll a four by four and four
Well, you just can't roll a four by four and four
I may be square but I love to rock and roll

Ain’t Got No Home

Ain't got no home, a no place to roam
Ain't got no home, a no place to roam
I'm a lonely boy, I ain't got a home

I got a voice, I love to sing
I sing like a girl and I sing like a frog
I'm a lonely boy, I ain't got a home

I ain't got a man, I ain't got a son
I ain't got a daughter, I ain't got no one
I'm a lonely girl, I ain't got a home

I ain't got a mother, I ain't got a father
I ain't got a sister, not even a brother
I'm a lonely frog, I ain't got a home

Oh, what you say to me? Please say to me
Oh, what you say to me? Please say to me

Chemical Reaction

Serious emergency
Someone come and rescue me
Help me make it through the night
All my wantings got to stop
I need some love to fill me up
Come in close and hold me tight

O-oh, a chemical reaction
O-oh, a fatal attraction
O-oh, I've gotta get some action now

This has gone on far too long
I feel a change is coming on
That's gonna make me feel alright
Please release me from this state
Don't delay, don't hesitate
I feel a rising up inside

Physical equality
Is chemical reality
It's what I need to set me free
When it comes to push and shove
I need some help from up above
I gotta find this thing called love

How Low Will You Go

You may think you’re the one that’s cool
So why are you behaving like a fool
You may think you have the right outlook
So why do you always read the wrong book
There is something wrong with you my friend
Something I can’t understand

Oh-oh oh-oh - Baby, I wanna know
Oh-oh oh-oh - how low will you go

You may think you’re better than me
So why don’t you help me out of my misery
You may think you can always look behind
So why don’t you see you‘re totally blind
There is something wrong with you my friend
Something I can’t understand

Ubangi Stomp

Well, I rocked over Italy and I rocked over Spain
Rocked in Memphis, it was all the same
'Till I rocked to Africa and rolled off the ship
Seen them natives do an odd looking skip
Parted the weeds and looked over the swamp
And I seen them cats doing the Ubangi Stomp

Ubangi stomp, reggae roll
Beats any stomp that you ever been told
Ubangi Stomp, Ubangi style
When it hits it drives them Ubangi's wild

Well, I looked up the chief he invited me in
He said “Hey, big jam session's about to begin”
He handed me a tom tom, I picked up the beat
That crazy thing send shivers to my feet
I rocked and I rolled, skipped with a smile
Gonna Ubangi Stomp man, Ubangi style

Well, I rocked all night and part of the day
Had a good rockin' time with the chief's daughter May
We were making good time and gettin' to know
When the captain said "Sorry, we gotta go"
Well, well, that's all right man now, go right ahead
Gonna Ubangi Stomp 'till I roll over dead

Up Jumped The Devil

Well, up jumped the devil in a brand-new Cadillac
I said, up jumped the devil in a brand-new Cadillac
He stood ten feet tall, boy all dressed in black

Well, I looked at the devil and the chills ran down my spine
I said, I looked at the devil and the chills ran down my spine
I ain't ready to die, Lord, I hope it ain't my time

Up jumped the devil
Up jumped the devil
I said, up jumped the devil
Up jumped the devil
Up jumped the devil in a brand-new Cadillac

And when the devil spoke, all my bones began to shake
And when the devil spoke, all my bones began to shake
I said please, Mr. Devil, don't do that for heaven's sake

Well, the devil laughed just like a natural man
Oh Satan laughed just like a natural man
He had fire in his eyes, Lord, and fire in his hands

The Bop Won’t Stop

I said: hey, pretty Baby, won't you tell 'em what's wrong with you
A lot ya keep poppin' hoppin' like a kangaroo
Well I'll ya little Baby, my feet are all black and blue

There's a place we go dressed down all the time
It's drivin' me crazy, swear I'm gonna lose my mind
Seen a real pretty woman, how about a kiss sometime

She said
The bop won't stop
The bop won't stop, what can I do

C'mon, pretty Baby, I don't wanna be no square
But if your folks come callin' knock you off that chair
You're headed for danger, child now beware

30 Years of Rock'n'Roll

I said “Hey folks, do you got that news that Rock n Roll keeps goin' on
Do you know folks, there´s really one band who just keeps rollin' on
They´re really rockin', rollin' through the world while their wheels keep on turning
Now I tell you a story about a Rock 'n' Roll band who keeps that fire burnin' “

30 Years of jump 'n' jive
30 Years keep stayin' alive
30 Years that kick my soul
30 Years of Rock 'n' Roll

Such a long time has been passed for us, we know a lot about love and desire
We know we ain´t nothing but a hound dog, but we got that great balls of fire
So, come on let’s get together tonite and have a good rockin' tonite
There is just one thing on that Rock 'n' Roll part that the big bass rhythm is right

Don´t believe I´m such a fool
Don´t believe I´m always cool
But just one thing chase me all time
Rock 'n' Roll is on my mind
