Adios and vaya con Dios
Yeah, I’m leaving GA
And if it weren’t for tequila and pretty señoritas
I’d have no reason to stay
Adios and vaya con Dios
Yeah, I’m leaving GA
Going to lay in the hot sun and roll a big fat one
And grab my guitar and play
Now the hacienda’s dark, the town is sleeping,
Now the time has come to part, the time for weeping,
Vaya con dios, my darlin’, vaya con dios, my love.
Then I heard the guitar player say
“Vamos, Jose’s on his way”
Then I knew, yes I knew I should run
But then I heard her say, yeah
"Come a little bit closer
You’re my kind of man”
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Helter skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
It landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn’t it a pity
Doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
Yeah, mmm, yeah
Do you know that some folks know about it, some don’t
Some will learn to shout it, some won’t
But sooner or later baby, here’s a ditty
Say you’re gonna have to get right down to the real nitty gritty
Now let’s get right on down to the nitty gritty
Ooh wah, ooh wah cool, cool kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City
Ooh wah, ooh wah c’mon kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City
Kitty’s back in town (here she comes, now)
Oh, Kitty’s back in town (oh, oh, all right)
Kitty’s back in town (here she comes, now)
Kitty’s back in town (oh, oh, all right)
Now, cat knows his kitty’s been untrue
And that she left him for a city dude
But she’s so soft, she’s so blue
When he looks into her eyes
He just sits back and sighs
Ooh, ooh, ooh, what can I do?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, what can I do?
Watch out boy she’ll chew you up
(Oh here she comes)
She’s a maneater
(Oh here she comes)
Watch out boy she’ll chew you up
(Oh here she comes)
She’s a maneater
She was only sixteen, only sixteen,
I loved her so.
But she was too young to fall in love,
And I was too young to know.
He was no more than a baby then
Well he seemed broken hearted
Something within him
But the moment that I first laid
Eyes on him all alone
On the edge of seventeen
Well, she was just seventeen
You know what I mean
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another
Ooh, when I saw her standing there?
I saw him dancing there
By the record machine
I knew he must have
Been about seventeen
The beat was going strong
Playing my favorite song
I could tell
It wouldn’t be long
I’m gonna take my silver dollar,
Change it into quarters,
Shove 'em in the record machine.
Don’t rock the jukebox,
Wanna hear some Jones,
My heart aint ready for the Rolling Stones
Moppin‘ up sodapop rickeys
To our heart’s delight
Dancin‘ to swingeroo quickies
Jukebox saturday night
Goodman and Kyser and Miller
Help to make things bright
Mixin‘ hot licks with vanilla
Jukebox saturday night
Well that’s the way it began, we were hand-in-hand
Glen Miller’s band was better than before
We yelled and screamed for more
And those Porter’s tunes made us dance across the room
It ended all too soon
On the way back home I promised you’d never be alone
I’ll never know what made it so exciting
But all at once my heart took flight
I only know when she began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced, danced all night
I don’t know much about dancin’
That’s why I got this song
One of my legs is shorter than the other
And both my feet’s too long
‘Course now right along with ‘em
I got no natural rhythm
But I go dancin’ every night
Hopin’ one day I might get it right
I’m a Dancin’ fool
