*Underneath the stars
Yes, you climbed on the ladder
With the wind in your sails
You came like a comet
Blazing your trail
Too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon…*
Moses went walking with the staff of wood
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Newton got beaned by the apple good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Egypt was troubled by the horrible asp
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mister Charles Darwin had the gall to ask
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Now, Andy, did you hear about this one?
Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Hey, Andy, are you goofing on Elvis? Hey, baby
Are you having fun?
If you believed they put a man on the moon
Man on the moon
If you believed there’s nothing up his sleeve
Then nothing is cool
About forty-five minutes southeast of Tippitoe Louisiana,
Lived a cat called Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hannah,
Well, they raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groceries,
Named him after a man of the cloth,
Called him Amos Moses.
Your groceries knock me out, pretty pretty, pretty lady.
You’re what it’s all about, pretty pretty, pretty lady.
You look so ripe to pick, pretty pretty, pretty lady.
And I just like to hold, pretty pretty, pretty lady.
You’re at the top of my grocery list.
You’re the dessert I don’t want to miss, oh uh huh.
-“BB”-
Sweet Cherry pie, oh yeah
She’s my Cherry pie,
Put a smile on your face ten miles wide
Looks so good, bring a tear to your eye
Sweet Cherry pie, yeah
Sweet Cherry pie, yeah, huh…
She got the way to move me, Cherry,
She got the way to groove me.
She got the way to move me,
She got the way to groove me.
Cherry pies ought to be you,
Autumn skies ought to be you,
The Pulitzer prize ought to be you,
Romeo in disguise ought to be you,
Columbine ought to be you,
Sparkling wine ought to be you,
All of Beethoven’s Nine ought to be you,
Every Will Shakespeare line ought to be you.
You’re the top!
You’re the Coliseum.
You’re the top!
You’re the Louvre Museum.
You’re a melody from a symphony by Strauss
You’re a Bendel bonnet,
A Shakespeare’s sonnet,
You’re Mickey Mouse.
Nighttime on The City of New Orleans
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee
Half way home, we’ll be there by morning
Through the Mississippi darkness
Rolling down to the sea
I said I, I left my wife and child (Lubie come back home)
And lord my conscience is about to drive me wild (Lubie come back home)
A little voice inside my head goes on and on (Lubie come back home)
Said Lubie Lubie you better go back home
I said I, I thought I’d make it by myself (Lubie come back home)
And now my baby she got my heart dropped on a shelf (Lubie come back home)
I said I, I still you’re my baby now (Lubie come back home)
Said Lubie Lubie you better go back home
Just take those old records off the shelf
I’ll sit and listen to 'em by m’self
Today’s music ain’t got the same soul
I like that old time rock and roll
Don’t try to take me to a Disco
You’ll never even get me out on the floor
In 10 minutes I’ll be late for the door
I like that old time rock and roll
Then a crowd a young boys they’re a foolin’ around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
They don’t give a damn about any trumpet playin’ band
It ain’t what they call Rock and Roll
And the Sultans
Yeah, the Sultans, they play Creole
Creole
There’s a man in New Orleans
Who plays rock and roll
He’s a guitar man
With a great big soul
He lays down a beat
Like a ton of coal
He goes by the name of King Creole
You know he’s gone, gone, gone
Jumpin’ like a catfish on a pole
You know he’s gone, gone, gone
Hip-shaking King Creole
When the days are sad and long,
I just keep wandering on,
To the place I hear a call,
Because the one I love is there;
Back to the fields of cotton
To hear a Creole love song.
When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home
Come hold me close, don’t let me go
I need you, honey, I love you so
You were made for me by the stars above
Mm, rock me gently, rock me slowly
Take it easy, don’t you know
That I have never been loved like this before
Take it easy, take it easy,
Don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy.
Lighten up while you still can,
Don’t even try to understand,
Just find a place to make your stand, and take it easy.
I can’t stop the way I feel
Things you do don’t seem real
Tell me what you’ve got in mind
'Cause we’re running out of time
Won’t you ever set me free?
This waiting 'round’s killing me
She drives me crazy, like no one else
She drive me crazy, and I can’t help myself
You could drive a person crazy
You could drive a person mad
First you make a person hazy
So a person could be had
Then you leave a person dangling sadly
Outside your door
Which could only make a person gladly
Want you even more
You show us everything you’ve got
You keep on dancin’ and the room gets hot
You drive us wild, we’ll drive you crazy
You say you wanna go for a spin
The party’s just begun, we’ll let you in
You drive us wild, we’ll drive you crazy
You keep on shoutin’, you keep on shoutin’
I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day
