Hey Ricky you so fine,
You so fine, you blow my mind,
Hey Ricky, you so fine,
You play your bongos all the time,
Hey Ricky you so fine…
Ricky Boy, Ricky Boy, You got somethin’ left to deal with
What you gonna do about merchandise?
Ricky Boy, You got the money, you got somethin’ left to do
What you gonna do about countin’ right?
You can say anything you like
But you can’t touch the merchandise
She’ll give you every penny’s worth
But it will cost you a dollar first
You can step outside your little world
You can talk to a pretty girl
She’s everything you dream about
But don’t fall in love
She’s a beauty
She’s one in a million girls
One in a million girls
Why would I lie?
Why would I lie?
You can get anything you want at Alice’s restaurant,
You can get anything you want at Alice’s restaurant,
Walk right in, it’s around the back,
Just a half a mile from the railroad track,
You can get anything you want at Alice’s restaurant.
You leave the Pennsylvania station 'bout a quarter to four
Read a magazine and then you’re in Baltimore
Dinner in the diner, nothing could be finer
Than to have your ham ‘n’ eggs in Carolina
In my mind I’m gone to Carolina
Can’t you see the sunshine?
Can’t you just feel the moonshine?
Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind?
Yes, I’m gone to Carolina in my mind.
Surry down to a stoned soul picnic
Surry down to a stoned soul picnic
There’ll be lots of time and wine
Red yellow honey, sassafras and moonshine
Red yellow honey
Sassafras and moonshine
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like goin’ home
And it stoned me
Mr. Jellyroll Baker
Let me be your slave
When Gabriel blows his trumpet
Let me rise from my grave
Tell me it’s good Jelly
Good to my worried soul
Aw it’s good for the sick
And it’s good for the young and old
There’s jelly in the jellyroll
And sap in every tree
There’s honey in the honeycomb
And, Honey, there’s love in me
And Honey, I miss you
And I’m bein’ good
And I’d love to be with you
If only I could
Honey pie, you are making me crazy
I’m in love but I’m lazy
So won’t you please come home.
Oh honey pie, my position is tragic
Come and show me the magic
Of your Hollywood song.
Hooray for Hollywood
That screwy, ballyhooey Hollywood
Where any office boy or young mechanic
Can be a panic, with just a goodlooking pan
Where any barmaid can be a star maid
If she dances with or without a fan
You can dance
Every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight
You can smile
Every smile for the man
Who held your hand neath the pale moon light
But don’t forget who’s takin’ you home
And in whose arms you’re gonna be
So darlin’ save the last dance for me
I wondered should I go or should I stay,
The band had only one more song to play.
And then I saw you out the corner of my eye,
A little girl, alone and so shy.
I had the last waltz with you,
Two lonely people together.
I fell in love with you,
The last waltz should last forever.
Hey girl, move a little closer
'Cause you’re too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush
Hush little baby, don’t you cry
Mamas gonna buy you a Mockingbird
If that Mockingbird don’t sing
Mamas gonna buy you a diamond ring…
Mock
Yeah
Ing
Yeah
Bird
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Mockingbird now
Well everybody’s heard, about the bird !
Yeah everybody’s heard, about the bird !
Everybody’s heard, about the bird !
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
If I leave here tomorrow,
Would you still remember me? Yes I…
For I must be travelin’ on now,
Cause there’s too many places I’ve got to see.
For if I stayed here with you girl,
Things just couldn’t be the same.
Cause I’m as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change.
