2. _ Get Rhythm
(johnny cash)
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
Get a rock 'n' roll feelin' in your bones
Get taps on your toes and just get gone
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Little shoeshine boy never gets low down
But he's got the dirtiest job in town
Bendin' low at the peoples' feet
On the windy corner of the dirty street
Well, i asked him while he shined my shoes
How'd he keep from gettin' the blues
He grinned as he shook his little head
Popped a shoeshine rag and then he said
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
It only costs a dime, just a nickel a shoe
Does a million dollars worth of good for you
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Well, i started to listen to the shoeshine boy
And i thought i was gonna jump for joy
Slapped on the shoe polish left and right
He took a shoeshine rag and he held it tight
He stopped once to wipe the sweat away
I said you're a mighty little boy to be a-workin' that way
He said "i like it", with a big wide grin
And he kept on poppin' and he said again
Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
Yes a jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine
It shakes all the trouble from your worried mind
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get a rock 'n' roll feelin' in your bones
Get taps on your toes and get gone
Get rhythm when you get the blues

3. _ Let's Have A Ball
(bunn)
I wanna ball like i never did ball before [before, before, before]
I wanna ball like i never did ball before [before, before, before]
I may never get a break like this in life no more
Well, i wanna ball like i never did ball before [before, before, before]
I wanna ball like i never did ball before [before, before, before]
I may never get a break like this in life no more
Got money in my pocket
I ain't begging for bread
Cadillac el dorado
Well, it's gone to my head
I got a short time living and a long greasy time to pay (play) dead
Ain't doing no favours, ain't asking for none
Honey, i got money, i can pay for my fun
That's the way i want it, that's the way it must be done
[because]
I wanna ball like i never did ball before [before, before, before]
I wanna ball like i never did ball before [before, before, before]
I may never get a break like this in life no more
A certain little mama [you ???? for me]
Gonna jump and shout [oh, yeah]
When the el dorado rolls up [ ah]
And i'll come walking out [???]
Gonna tell ya pretty baby [say you like nothing]
You don't know what it's all about
(i've got) no special woman [no special woman]
Want no special friend [no special friend]
Want a good time today [good time today]
Tomorrow may be down again [may be down again]
Don't dial my number [oh, lord]
I'll tell you when [i'll tell you when]
I wanna ball like i never did ball before [before, before, before]
Really wanna...never did ball before [before, before, before]
I may never get a break like this in life no more

4. _ All Shook Up
(otis blackwell/elvis presley)
Yeah! oh!
Well, bless my soul, what's wrong with me ?
I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree
The friends say i'm acting wild as a bug
I'm in love, i'm all shook up
I'm, i'm, i'm,
I'm, i'm, i'm, oh lord
Yeah yeah yeah
My hands are shaky and my knees are weak
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet
Who do you thank when you have such luck ?
I'm in love, i'm all shook up
Well, please don't ask me what's on my mind
A little mixed up, but i'm feeling fine
I'm near the girl i love the best
My heart beats so it scares me to...
She touched my hand and what a chill i got
Her lips are like a volcano when that's hot
I'm proud to say she's my buttercup
I'm in love and i'm all messed up
I'm, i'm, i'm...
Lawdy, lawdy
I'm, i'm, i'm...
Yeah, yeah, yeah
My tongue gets tied when i try to speak
My inside's shaking like a leaf on a tree
There's only one cure for this body of mine
And that's to have that girl right here right now
She touched my hand and what a chill i got
Her lips are like a volcano when that's hot
I'm proud to say she's my buttercup
I'm in love and i'm all shook up

6. _ I Can Tell By The Way You Smell
(walter davis)
Hey, look here baby, what's going on ?
Step over in the light
Oh, no! look here.
Your hair is all wrecked, you're full of sweat
Your underskirt is wringing wet
You come in here walking just like a goose
It looks like somebody just tranked you to loose
You've been doing something
You've been doing something wrong
You've been doing something
You've been doing something wrong
I can tell by the way you smell
And there's grandma and grandpa out on the porches
Must be kidding 'bout her ninety years
Ain't too old, god almighty, just keep shifting them gears
Well, you ain't too old, said you ain't too old
Ain't too old, doing the boogie, you ain't too old
I can tell by the way they smell
Well, it's a-run here mama! just look at little sis'
Got her hand in her toodle, way up to her wrist
She's doing something wrong, she's doing something wrong
She's doing something wrong, god knows she's doing it
I can tell by the way she smell
Go on and change your clothes!

7. _ Across The Borderline
(ry cooder/john hiatt/james dickinson)
There's a place where i've been told
Every street is paved with gold
And it's just across the borderline
And when it's time to take your turn
Here's one lesson that you must learn
You could lose more than you'll ever hope to find
When you reach the broken promised land
And every dream slips through your hands
Then you'll know that it's too late to change your mind
'cause you've paid the price to come so far
Just to wind up where you are
And you're still just across the borderline
Up and down the rio grande
A thousand footprints in the sand
Reveal a secret no one can define
The river flows on like a breath
In between our life and death
Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline
En la triste oscuridad (in the sad darkness)
Hoy tenemos que cruzar (today we have to cross)

8. _ Going Back To Okinawa
(ry cooder)
Goin' back down to okinawa
Sorry, baby, but i can't take you
You better stay at home in california
There's nothing over there that you can do
Goin' back down to okinawa
Ain't gonna do me like you've done before
They treat me like a king down in okinawa
And i may never come back no more
It's just an island floating in the sun
Everybody is having so much fun
Pretty mamas laying in the sand
Sure to know how to treat your man
Okinawian baby, won't you come by me ?
Sun going down in the china sea
Making love on the beach all night
Okinawa moon is shining so bright
Folks in okinawa sure have fun
They get together when the working day is done
Drinking cheap wine. and making romance
While some old man's doing the okina dance
Back in the days of world war ii
Fought against the japanese like me and you
Everybody's worried |
