ooh, well i got a girl with a record machine
when it comes to rockin' she's the queen
we love to dance on a saturday night
all alone where i can hold her tight
but she lives on the twentiest floor uptown
the elevator's broken down
so i walked one, two flight, three flight, four
five, six, seven flight, eight flight, more
up on the twelfth i started to drag
fifteenth floor i'm a-ready to sag
get to the top, i'm too tired to rock
when she calls me up on the telephone
say, come on over honey, i'm all alone
i said, baby you're mighty sweet
but i'm in bed with the achin' feet
this went on for a couple of days
but i couldn't stay away
well they sent to chicago for repairs
till it's a-fixed i'm a-usin' the stairs
hope they hurry up before it's too late
want my baby too much to wait
all this climbin' is a-gettin' me down
they'll find my corpse draped over a rail
The way I walk is just the way I walk
The way I talk is just the way I talk
The way I smile is just the way I smile
Touch me baby and I'll go hog-wild
The way I love is just the way I love
C'mon and be my little turtle dove
Touch me baby, feels so good
I feel as though I wanna
Then I don't know if I should
Do-wee-do-wee-do-wee-do-wee-do-wah
Call me please, yip-yip-yip
Do-wee-do-wee-do-wee-do-wee-do-wah
Just a little more
Do-wee-do-wee-do-wee-do-wee-do-wah
Yip-yip-yip, that's about right
Aah-aaaah, now talk to me
The way you love me 's got to suit my style
Or little baby I will say goodbye
Love me baby, love me right
Love me morning, noon and night
Do-wee-do-wee-do-wee-do-wee-do-wah
Yip-yip-yip

Gather 'round me buddy
Hold your glasses high
And drink to a fool, a crazy fool
Who told his baby goodbye
Too late he's found he loves her
So much he wants to die
But drink to a fool, a crazy fool
Who told his baby goodbye
He needs her, he needs her so
He wonders why he let her go
She's found a new love buddy
He's a lucky guy
So drink to a fool, 'cause
I'm that fool Who told my baby goodbye
He needs her, he needs her so
He wonders why he let her go
She's found a new love buddy
He's a lucky guy
So drink to a fool,
'cause I'm that fool
Who told my baby goodbye
Who told my baby goodbye

I'm the only one that seen it on the ground
First thing I seen when I saw it land
Cats jumped out and they formed a band
[Chorus]
Flyin' saucer rock and roll, flyin' saucer rock and roll
I couldn't understand the things they said
But that crazy beat just a stopped me dead
Well the little green men, they were real hep-cats
Rockin' and rollin' doin' their crazy flats
They brought out a sax and they started to blow
They brought out the drums and they started to roll
[Chorus]
Well, I come out a-hidin' and I started to rock
Little green men tought me how to do the bop
They were three foot high, hit a few bars
Started rock and roll al the way from mars
One day, two days, three, four, five
Well that's how long that she's been gone
And that's a long time
[Chorus]
Five days, five days
Since you walked out the door
Won't you please come home
I couldn't stand five more
Well, the first day after she left me
I laughed and told my friends
That she'll be back before
The sun is setting down again
[Chorus]
Well, the second day after she left me
I started to have my doubts
I wondered if she was coming back
Or really had checked out
[Chorus]
Well, the third day after she left me
I started to watch the door
Before the day was over
I began to walk the floor
[Chorus]
Well, the fourth day after she left me
I really began to sweat
She should have been back days ago
But she ain't got back yet
Well, I'm a man who's got nothing but sweet love on my mind
If you really gonna leave me let me love you just one more time
Well, you know I ]ove you baby, I need your lovin' bad
Well give me some sweet love right this minute or you're gonna make me mad
I'm a man who's got nothing but sweet love on my mind
Well you love me, then you leave me and I cry the whole night through
Yeah you love me, then you leave me and I don't know what to do
I need your little ol' arms around me to hold and squeeze me tight
But you just love and leave me gal and you know that that ain't right
I'm a man who's got nothing but sweet love on my mind
I'm a man who's got nothing but sweet love on my mind
Well now won't you love me baby and I know I don't lose my mind
Well, you know I love you honey, but you don't treat me right
Better give me just a little bit of your sweet lovin'
or we're gonna have a big fight
I'm a man who's got nothing but sweet love on my mind
Well the river looks cold and the bottom is a long way down
If you really gonna leave me, that's where I'm gonna be found
When the mailman comes in the morning, there's a note upon my door
Just bring my mail to the bottom of the river, I don't live here no more
(Eddie Cochran)

Ooh man, rhythm is in my shoes
There's no use sittin' and singin' the blues
So be my guest, you got nothin' to lose
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise
[Chorus]
Ooh-wee, ooh-wee baby
Ooh-wee, ooh-wee baby
Ooh-wee, ooh-wee baby
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise
Feel like jumpin', baby won't you join me, please
I don't like beggin', now I'm on bended knees
I got to get to rockin', get my hat off the rack
I got the boogie woogie like a knife in the back
So be my guest, you got nothing to lose
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise
[Chorus]
I got to get to movin' baby, I ain't lyin'
My heart is beatin' rhythm and it's right on time
So be my guest, you got nothing to lose
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise
[Chorus]
Feel like jumpin', baby won't you join me, please
I don't like beggin', now I'm on bended knees
I'm drivin' in my car, you turn on the radio
I'm pullin' you close, but you just say no
You say you don't like it, but girl I know you're a liar
'Cause when we kiss, ooh, fire
Late at night, I'm chasin you home
I say I wanna stay, you say you wanna be alone
You say you don't need me, but you can't hide your desire
'Cause when we kiss, ooh, fire
You've had a hold on me right from the start
It felt so good, I couldn't tear it apart
Got my nerves all jumpin', actin' like a fool
'Cause your kisses they burn, but your heart stays cool
Romeo and Juliet, Samson and Delilah
Baby, you can bet the love they couldn't deny
Well, now your words say split, but your words they lie
'Cause when we kiss, ooh, fire
Oh-oh, fire
Mm-mm, fire
Oh-oh, fire
All I want is a love that's hot
Can't be sold and it can't be bought
Love don't try to be something it's not
All I need is a love that's real
None won't rob and none won't steal
Love that moves like a drivin' wheel
Well, all I want is a drivin' wheel
Well, all I want is a drivin' wheel
All round up, is my ideal
Jump!
All I want is a love that's right
To hold on to with all my might
Early in the morning and late at night
All I need is a love that's real
None won't rob and none won't steal
Love that moves like a drivin' wheel
Well, all I want is a drivin' wheel
All I want is a drivin' wheel

You make me nervous when you walk

I get down inside and I just wanna cry
I'm all fed up with your 'wait-awhile'
Listen to me baby, 'cause you're drivin' me wild
You make me nervous when you walk
You make me nervous when you talk
You make me nervous, can't you see?

I need my angel now
Miss you
I miss the funny little things you do
I miss your sweetness and your sadness too
I miss your every mood
When our flame of love was burning high
We vowed our love would never die
Seems your love for me has gone
I wish I knew
I hope Im wrong
Come back to me
Come back and help me find the will to live
In this old troubled world of take and give
Lonesome train on a lonesome track
I'm going away, ain't coming back
I'm going somewhere far from my baby
On a lonesome train, on a lonesome track
Lonesome train on a lonesome track
Got all my troubles in one big pack
My baby left me so sad and lonely
On a lonesome train, on a lonesome track
Lonesome train on a lonesome track
My girl don't love me and that's a fact
No use in living, no use in dying
On a lonesome train, on a lonesome track
Oh, lonesome train, on a lonesome track
I want my baby, I want her back
Don't want to go on forever travelling
People see us everywhere
They think you really care
But myself I can't deceive
I know it's only make believe
My one and only prayer
Is that some day you'll care
My hopes my dreams come true
My one and only you
No one will ever know
How much I love you so
My only prayer will be
Some day you'll care for me
But it's only make believe
My hopes my dreams come true
My life I give for you
My heart or wedding ring
My all my everything
My heart I can't control
You rule my very soul
My only prayer will be
Some day you'll care for me
But it's only make believe
My one and only prayer
Is that some day you'll care
My hopes my dreams come true
My one and only you
No one will ever know
How much I love you so
My prayers my hopes my schemes
You are my every dream
You took away my lovely dreams
But I don't need those things at all
You took away the kisses that I love
You took away most everything
But I don't miss one single thing
But I, I sure miss you
I miss you every morning
I miss you every night
I miss you most of all whenever
I wanna be loved just right
You took away most everything
But I don't miss one single thing
But I, I sure miss you
Well, I miss you every morning
Well, I miss you every night
Well, I miss you most of all whenever
I wanna, I wanna be loved just right
You took away most everything
But I don't miss one single thing

Black slacks, I wear a red bow-tie
Black slacks, they say "Me, Oh my!"
Black slacks, with a cat-chain down to my knees
I ain't nothin' but a real cool breeze
Man you ought to see me with my derby on
