1. _ Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out
I once lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money i didn't care
Always taking my friends out for a good time
Buying champagne, gin and wine
But just as soon as my dough got low
I couldn't find a friend, no place i go
If i ever get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna squeeze it, and squeeze it
Till the eagle grins
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And your friends, you haven't any
And as soon as you get on your feet again
Everybody is your long lost friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt, but
Nobody wants you when you're down and out
You know folks, i once had a mansion
Way up on the side of a hill
I'd give champagne and caviar parties
Just for fun and get a thrill
But you know things they just can't stay like that forever
And now i can't muscle up enough money
To buy a shot of gin
But you know, if i ever get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna squeeze it, and squeeze it till the eagle grins
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you
Nobody needs you
Nobody wants you when you're down and out

2. _ Early In The Morning
It's early in the morning and i can't get right
'cause i had a little date with my baby last night
Now it's early in the morning
It's early in the morning
It's early in the morning
And i ain't got nothin' but the blues
I went to all the places where we used to go
I went to her house but she don't live there no more
And it's early in the morning
It's early in the morning
It's early in the morning
And i ain't got nothin' but the blues
I went to her girlfriend |
3. _ Let The Good Times Roll
Hey, everybody, let's have some fun
You only live but once
And when you're dead you're done, so
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll
Don't sit there mumblin', talkin' trash
If you wanna have a ball
You gotta go out and spend some cash, and
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll
Hey mr. landlord, lock up all the doors
When the police comes around
Just tell 'em that the joint is closed
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll
Hey tell everybody
Mr. king's in town
I got a dollar and a quarter
Just rarin' to clown
But don't let nobody play me cheap
I got fifty cents more that i'm gonna keep, so
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll
No matter whether rainy weather
Birds of a feather gotta stick together
So get yourself under control
Go out and get together and let the good times roll

4. _ Choo Choo Ch'boogie
Headin' for the station with a pack on my back
I'm tired of transportation in the back of my hack
I love to hear the rhythm of the clickety clack
And hear the lonesome whistle see the smoke from the stack to pal around
With democratic fellow named mac
So take me right back to the track, jack
Choo-choo, choo-choo, ch'boogie, woo-woo
Woo-woo, ch'boogie, choo-choo, choo-choo, ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, jack
You reach your destination but you don't go back
You need some compensation to get back in the black
You take a morning paper from the top of the stack
And read the situations from the front to the back
But the only job that's open needs a man with a knack
So put it right back in the rack, jack
Choo-choo, choo-choo, ch'boogie, woo-woo
Woo-woo, ch'boogie, choo-choo, choo-choo, ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, jack
Gonna settle down by the railroad track
Live the life o'riley in the beat down shack
When i hear a whistle i can peep thru the crack
Watch the train rollin' when it's ballin' the jack
Love to hear the rhythm of the clickety clack
So take me right back to the track, jack
Choo-choo, choo-choo, ch'boogie, woo-woo
Woo-woo, ch'boogie, choo-choo, choo-choo, ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, jack
Take me right back to the track, jack

5. _ Buzz Me
When i saw you this morning, baby
Tell me why did you walk away
When i saw you this morning, baby
Tell me why did you walk away
Can't believe that you don't love me
Thought our love was here to stay
Now buzz me, baby
I'll be waiting for your call
Buzz me, buzz me, buzz me
Buzz me, baby
I'll be waiting for your call
If you forgot the number
Come on over
You won't have to call at all
I never lied to no one
I ain't gonna lie to you
When i say i'm yours forever
Every word i say is true
Buzz me, baby
I'll be waiting for your call
If you forgot the number
Come on over
You won't have to call at all
Yes, buzz me, baby
I'm like the ship that's lost at sea
Buzz me, buzz me, baby
You mean so much to me
If i ever get my arms around you
I ain't gonna let go till 1973

6. _ Knock Me A Kiss
I like cake, no mistake, but baby if you insist
I'll cut out the cake, just for your sake
Baby! c'mon and knock me a kiss
I like pie, i hope to die, just to get a load of this
When you get high, doggone the pie
Baby! c'mon and knock me a kiss
When you pressed your little lips to mine, that was then i understood
They taste like candy, brandy and wine, peaches, bananas and everything
Good
I love jam and no film flam, scratch that off my list
This ain't no jam, the jam can scram
Baby! c'mon and knock me a kiss
When you pressed your sweet little lips to mine, that was then i understood
They taste like candy, brandy and wine, peaches, bananas and everything
Good
I like cars and big cigars but baby they won't be missed
If everyday i hear you say
Baby! c'mon and knock me a kiss
Baby! c'mon and knock me a kiss

7. _ Caldonia
Hey, i'm walking with my woman
She got great big feet
Long, lean and angry
She ain't had nothing to eat
But she's my woman
And i love her just the same
She's a fine looking woman
And caldonia is her name
Now here we go!
Caldonia, caldonia
What makes your big head so hard
I love her
Yeah, i love her just the same
Give me that now.
I'm crazy about the woman
'cause caldonia is her name
Can we do it once more?
Caldonia, caldonia
What makes your big head so hard, oh
Caldonia, caldonia, caldonia

8. _ Sure Had A Wonderful Time Last Night
I sure had a wonderful time last night
Least wise they tell me i did
I sure had a wonderful time last night
Really blew my lid
Went to a party, i recollect that much
But after four or five, you know i lost my touch
I sure had a wonderful time last night
Least wise they tell me i did
I had a whale of good time last night
Really got myself some kicks
I sure had a wonderful time last night
Took me right back to the sticks
Between that hillbilly band and old uncle zeke
And that new atomic beverage that they called "sneaky pete"
I sure had a wonderful time last night
Least wise they tell me i did
Sure had a wonderful time last night
Don't know how i got to bed
Sure had a wonderful time last night
Come here, feel this lump on my head
They say i got kinda noisy
And started to shout
Four big bouncers grabbed me
But i threw them out
I sure had a wonderful time last night
Least wise they tell me i did
Sure had a wonderful time last night
Really had myself some fun
Sure had a wonderful time last night
Didn't get home until about half past one
You know i'd like to take you with me the next time i go
But where the heck was it?
Sure would like to know
But i sure had a wonderful time last night

9. _ Is You Is, Or Is You Ain't (my Baby)
I gotta a girl who's always late
Anytime we have a date
But i love her
Yes i love her
I'm gonna walk up to her gate
And see if i can get it straight
'cause i want her
I'm gonna ask her
Is you is, or is you ain't, my baby
The way you're acting lately makes me doubt
You is still my baby, baby
Seems my flame in your heart's done gone out
A woman is a creature that has always been strange
Just when you're sure of one you find
She's gone and made a change
Is you is, or is you ain't my baby
Maybe baby's found somebody new
Or is my baby still my baby true

10. _ Jack, You're Dead!
When you've got no more assurance
Than a great big hunk of lead
If you don't respond to romance
Jack, you're dead!
When a chick is smiling at you
Even though there's nothing said
If you stand there like a statue
Jack, you're dead!
You've been always kicking
But you stubbed your toes
When you ups and kicks the bucket
Just like old man mose
When you get no kicks from loving
And you blow your top instead
It's a fact that you ain't living
Jack, you're dead!
If you just ain't got nobody
Since you've gone and lost your head
Rigor mortis has set in daddy
Jack, you're dead!
What's the use of having muscles
When your life hangs by a thread
If you ain't got no red corpuscles
Jack, you're dead!
You've been always kicking
But you stubbed your toes
When you ups and kicks the bucket
Just like old man mose
When you get no kicks from loving
And the news begins to spread
All the cats will holler, "murder!"
Jack, you're dead!
All the breaths leaked out of you
When your friends gather round the bed
And look at you and say, "um, um, um, don't he look natural"
When that happens to you, daddy
Jack, you're dead!

11. _ Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens
One night farmer brown was takin' the air
Locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care
Down in the hen house something stirred
When he shouted, "who's there?"
This is what he heard
There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So calm yourself and stop that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
We chickens tryin' to sleep and you butt in
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, with your chin
There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
You're stompin' around and shakin' the ground
Kicking up an awful dust
We chickens tryin' to sleep and you butt in
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, it's a sin
Tomorrow is a busy day
We got things to do, we got eggs to lay
We got ground to dig and worms to scratch
It takes a lot of sittin', gettin' chicks to hatch
Oh, there ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So quiet yourself and stop that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
Kindly point the gun the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay
Tomorrow is a busy day
We got things to do, we got eggs to lay
We got ground to dig and worms to scratch
It takes a lot of sittin', gettin' chicks to hatch
Oh, there ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So quiet yourself and stop that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
Kindly point the gun the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay
Hey, hey boss man, what do you say?
It's easy, pickins, there ain't nobody here but us chickens

12. _ I'm Gonna Move To The Outskirts Of Town
I'm gonna move, baby, way out on the outskirts of town
I'm gonna move way out on the outskirts of town
I don't want nobody who's always hanging around
I'm gonna tell you baby, we're gonna move away from here
I don't want no ice man, i'm gonna get me a frigidaire
When we move way out on the outskirts of town
I don't want nobody who's always hanging around
I'm gonna bring my own groceries, gonna bring them everyday
That'll stop the grocery boy, and keep him away
When we move way out on the outskirts of town
I don't need nobody always hanging around
It may seem funny honey, as funny as funny can be
But if we have any children, i want them all to look like me
When we move way out on the outskirts of town
I don't want nobody always hanging around

13. _ Ain't That Just Like A Woman
There was adam, happy as a man could be
Till eve got him messin' with that old apple tree
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time
Lot took his wife down to the corner for a malted
She wouldn't mind her business, boy, did she get salted
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time
Samson thought delilah was on the square
Till one night she clipped him all his hair
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time
From our history books we all learned
Nero fiddled while rome was burned
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time
Marie antoinette met some hungry cats at the gate
They was crying for bread, she said, "let them eat cake"
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time
You can buy a woman clothes
And give her money on the side
No matter what you do
She ain't never satisfied
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

14. _ Somebody Done Changed The Lock On My Door
Somebody done changed
Somebody done changed the lock on that door
Somebody done changed
They done changed the lock on that door
'cause the key i got won't fit that lock no more
Now i came home last night about half past ten
Tried to get the key in the lock but i couldn't get it in
'cause somebody done changed
They done changed the lock on that door
'cause the key i got won't fit that lock no more
I looked through the window to see what i could see
She was talking to someone else
I know it wasn't me
She said, "daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, you don't have to go
'cause i done changed, i done changed that lock on my door"
She changed the bed around, even painted the door
She even changed the carpet, i mean on the floor
My baby changed
Oh she done changed the lock on my door
'cause the key i got won't fit that lock no more
Well, i walked down the street, lookin' where i used to go
She's got a mean black snake, and i can't go there no more
My baby changed
She done changed the lock on my door
And the key i got won't fit that lock no more

15. _ Rusty Dusty Blues (mama Mama Blues)
Mama don't you beg your daddy for no diamond ring
Mama don't you beg your daddy for no diamond ring
'cause mama you already got the best of everything
I see you riding 'round, baby, riding in a brand new car
I see you riding 'round, baby, riding in a brand new car
I know you couldn't buy it sitting on your caviar
Now your bracelets, your furs and that paris label
They're laying right there, laying on the table
They'll come, hop, skip, and jumping as long as you're able
Go get me some money baby, and lay it on the table
Get up, get up, get up, get up, woman
Get up off your big, fat rusty dusty, don't you hear me woman
Get up, get up, get up, get up, woman
Get up off your big, fat rusty dusty
Get up mama, before it gets too rusty
Now you've got the very best, the best of everything
And baby, honey, you know how to do everything
You even got that champagne taste
But i'm so afraid baby, oh, you'll let me go to waste
Get up, get up, get up, get up, woman
Get up off your big, fat rusty dusty, don't you hear me
Get up, get up, get up, mama
Get up off your big, fat rusty dusty
Get up mama, before it gets too rusty

16. _ It's A Great, Great Pleasure
It's a great, great pleasure, a great, great, great, big thrill
It's a great, great pleasure, a great, great, great, big thrill
When you got your baby and a whole lotta time to kill
Did you ever get a feelin' that your feet had turned to stones
Do you ever get a feelin' that your feet had turned to stones
Do you get a funny feelin' running up and down your bones
That's arthritis
It's a great, great pleasure, a great, great, great, big thrill
It's a great, great pleasure, a great, great, great, big thrill
When you got your baby and a whole lotta time to kill
Did you ever feel lucky and wake up cold in hand
Did you ever feel lucky and wake up cold in hand
Find you ain't got a nickel and your woman got another man
Bad deal

17. _ Beware, Brother, Beware
Hey, fellas, yes, you, fellas, listen to me, i got something to tell you
And i want you to listen to every word and govern yourselves accordingly
Now, you see these girls with these fine diamonds, fine furs and fine clothes
Well, they're looking for a husband and you're listening to a man who knows
They ain't foolin', and if you fool around with them
You're gonna get yourself in a schoolin'
Listen, if she saves you dough, and won't go to the show
Beware
If she's easy to kiss and won't resist
Beware
And if you go for a walk, and she listens while you talk
She's tryin' to hook you
And nobody's lookin' and she asks you to taste her cookin'
Don't do it, don't do it
And if you go to a show and she wants to sit in the back row
Bring her down front, bring her right down front
If you wanna go for a snack, and she wants to sit in the booth in the back
Beware
And listen, if she's used to caviar and fine silk
When you go out with her she wanna a hot dog and a malted milk
She's trying to get you
If you're used to goin' to carnegie hall, but when you take her out night clubing
All she wants is one meatball
You better take it easy
If she grabs your hand and says, "darling, you're such a nice man"
Beware, i'm telling you
(should i tell them no more?)
(tell them everything)
You better listen to me 'cause i'm telling you what's being put down
You better pick up on it
If her sister calls your brother, you better get further
I'm telling you, you better watch it
And if she's acting kind of wild, and she says, "darling, give me a trial"
Don't you do it, don't be weak, don't give it to her
And if she smiles in your face and just melts into place
Let her melt, forget it, let her melt
(should i tell them no more?)
(tell them everything)
Now listen, if she calls you up on the phone, and says,
"darling, are you all alone?"
Tell her, "no, no, i've got two, three women with me"
Don't pay no attention to women
Stand up for your right, be a man, be a man
(are you listening?)
If you turn out the lights and she don't fight
That's the end, it's too late
She's got you hooked, you might as well stick with her
(should i tell them no more?)
If you get home about two and don't know what to do
You pull back the curtains, and the whole family's looking at you
Get your business straight
Set the date, don't be late
Brother, beware, beware, beware
Brother, you better beware

18. _ Saturday Night Fish Fry
Now if you've ever been down to new orleans
Then you can understand just what i mean
All thru the week it's quiet as a mouse
But on saturday night they go from house to house
You don't have to pay the usual admission
If you're a cook, a waiter or a good musician
So if you happen to be just passin' by
Stop in at the saturday night fish fry
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'till the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'till the break of dawn
Now my buddy and me was on the main stem
Foolin' around just me and him
We decided we could use a little something to eat
So we went to a house on rampart street
We knocked on the door and it opened up with ease
And a lush little miss said, "come in, please"
And before we could even bat an eye
We were right in the middle of a big fish fry
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'till the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'till the break of dawn
Now the folks was havin' the time of their life
And sam was jivin' jimmie's wife
Over in the corner was a beat up grand
Being played by a big fat piano man
Some of the chicks wore expensive frocks
Some of them had on bobbie socks
But everybody was nice and high
At this particular saturday night fish fry
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'till the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'till the break of dawn
Now the women were screamin' and jumpin' and yellin'
The bottles was flyin', and the fish was smellin'
And way above all the noise we made
Somebody hollered, "you better get outta here, this is a raid!"
I didn't know we was breaking the law but
Somebody reached over and hit me on the jaw
Now they had us blocked off from front to back
And they was puttin' 'em in the wagon like potatoes in a sack
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'till the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'till the break of dawn
I knew i could get away if i had a chance
But i was shakin' like i had the st. vitus dance
So i tried to crawl in under a bath tab
When a policeman said, "where are you goin' there, bub?"
Now they got us out of there like a house on fire
And put us all in the black maria
Now they might have missed a pitiful few
But they got both me and my buddy too
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'till the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'till the break of dawn
Well we headed for jail in a dazed condition
They booked each one of us on suspicion
Now my chick came down and paid my bail
And finally got me outta that rotten jail
Now if you ever want to get a fist in your eye
Just mention a saturday night fish fry
I don't care how many fish in the sea
But don't ever mention a fish to me
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'till the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'till the break of dawn
