Greatest Hits

What in the world's come all over me?
I ain't got a chance of one in three.
Ain't got no rap, ain't got no line
But if you'll give me just a minute i'll be feelin' fine.

I am the one who can fade the heat,
The one they all say just can't be beat.
I'll shoot it to you straight and look you in the eye.
So gimme just a minute and i'll tell you why
I'm a rough boy, i'm a rough boy.

I don't care how you look at me
Because i'm the one and you will see
We can make it work, we can make it by.
So give me one more minute and i'll tell you why
I'm a rough boy, i'm a rough boy.

She's got legs, she knows how to use them.
She never begs, she knows how to choose them.
She's holdin' leg wonderin' how to feel them.
Would you get behind them if you could only find them?
She's my baby, she's my baby,
Yeah, it's alright.

She's got hair down to her fanny.
She's kinda jet set, try undo her panties.
Everytime she's dancin' she knows what to do.
Everybody wants to see if she can use it.
She's so fine, she's all mine,
Girl, you got it right.

She's got legs, she knows how to use them.
She never begs, she knows how to choose them.
She's got a dime all of the time,
Stays out at night movin' through time.
Oh, i want her, said, i got to have her,
The girl is alright, she's alright.

Rumour spreadin' a-'round in that texas town
'bout that shack outside la grange
And you know what i'm talkin' about.
Just let me know if you wanna go
To that home out on the range.
They gotta lotta nice girls.

Have mercy.
A haw, haw, haw, haw, a haw.
A haw, haw, haw.

Well, i hear it's fine if you got the time
And the ten to get yourself in.
A hmm, hmm.
And i hear it's tight most ev'ry night,
But now i might be mistaken.
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.

Have mercy.

She likes wearin' lipstick, she likes french cuisine
But she won't let me use my passion unless it's in a limousine.

She got me under pressure,
She got me under pressure.

She likes the art museum, she don't like pavlov's dog.
She fun at the mind museum, she likes it in a london fog.
She don't like other women, she likes whips and chains.
She likes cocaine and filppin' out with great danes.
She's about all i can handle, it's too much for my brain.

It's got me under pressure,
It's got me under pressure.

I'm gonna give her a message,
Here's what i'm gonna say:
"it's all over."
She might get out a nightstick
And hurt me real real bad
By the roadside in a ditch.

It's got me under pressure,
It's got me under pressure.

It's got me under pressure,
It's got me under pressure.

{an original catch phrase for the ages, it's the lyrical and musical
Embodiment of the low rider ethos. though millions swore they'd heard
It before, the national anthem of the u.s. of zz first greeted dawn's
Early light on 1979's deguello, their first for warner bros.}

Well i was rollin' down the road in some cold blue steel,
I had a blues man in back, and a beautician at the wheel.
We going downtown in the middle of the night
We laughing and i'm jokin' and we feelin' alright.
Oh i'm bad, i'm nationwide.
Yes i'm bad, i'm nationwide.

Easin' down the highway in a new cadillac,
I had a fine fox in front, i had three more in the back.
They sportin' short dresses, wearin' spike-heel shoes,
They smokin' lucky strikes, and wearing nylons too.
'cause we bad, we nationwide.
Yeah we bad, we nationwide.

Well i was movin' down the road in my v-8 ford,
I had a shine on my boots, i had my sideburns lowered.
With my new york brim and my gold tooth displayed,
Nobody give me trouble cause they know i got it made.
I'm bad, i'm nationwide.
Well i'm bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, i'm nationwide.

What can i do, i'm a nervous wreck?
There's girls everywhere, i better go and check. check it out
I can't tell a diamond from a hole in the ground.
They all got my head spinning round and round.
Planet of women, oh yeah.
The planet of women, oh yeah.
It's driving me insane.

They start by acting just a little discreet.
Then they're in the skies and they're in the streets.
You can find them in cars or a hotel lobby,
They're easy to find, just look for a body.
Planet of women, oh yeah.
Just a planet of women, oh yeah.
It's driving me insane.

If you have the answer, drop me a line today
Or send a straight jacket something in a shade of gray.
I think i've sprained my brain 'cause it won't unwind.
Every day it's man against man on the
Planet of women, oh yeah.
Just a planet of women, oh yeah.
It's driving me insane,
It's driving me insane.

{one of two new tracks especially recorded for this package. sung by
Dusty, whose affinity for the big e is well-known to concert-goers
Delighted by his tonsil-blistering treatment of "jailhouse rock."
Written by rock 'n' roll hall of famer doc pomus, zz's "vlv" includes
Echoes from its original performer, beyond the pale. the inspiration
For recording the track was born -- and a rough vocal demo cut -- in
The dressing room of the monroe, la civic auditorium where, legend
Has it, vernon and gladys' only surviving son passed the time before
Taking the stage.}

Spoken: y'all still want me to come with you?

Bright light city gonna set my soul, gonna set my soul on fire
There's a whole lot of money that's ready to burn
So get those stakes up higher.
There's a thousand pretty women just a-waitin out there,
And they're all livin' devil-may-care.
I'm just the devil with a love to spare.
Viva las vegas.
Viva las vegas.

Spoken: ah, thank-ya very much baby.

And how i wish that there were more
Than twenty-four hours in the day.
But even if there were forty more,
I wouldn't sleep a minute away.
Oh, there's blackjack and poker and a roulette wheel.
A fortune won and lost on every deal.
All you need's a strong heart and a nerve of steel.
Viva las vegas.
Viva las vegas.
Viva las vegas.
Viva las vegas.

Viva las vegas with your neon flashin',
And your one-armed bandits crashin'
All those hopes down the drain.
Viva las vegas turnin' day into nighttime,
Turn the night into daytime,
If you see it once, you'll never come home again.

I'm gonna keep on the run,
I'm gonna have me some fun,
If it costs me my very last dime.
If i wind up broke,
Then i'll always remember that i had a swingin' time.
I'm gonna give it everything i've got.
Lady luck please let the dice stay hot.
Let me shoot a seven with every shot.
Viva las vegas.
Viva las vegas.
Viva las vegas.
Viva las vegas.
Viva, viva.

pearl necklace


She's really upset with me again,
I didn't give her what she likes.
I don't know what to tell her,
Don't know what to say.
Everything got funky last night.

She was really bombed,
And i was really blown away,
Until i asked her what she wanted,
And this is what she had to say:
A pearl necklace.
She wanna pearl necklace.
She wanna pearl necklace.

She gets a charge out of bein' so weird,
Digs gettin' downright strange.
But i can keep a handle on anything,
Just this side of deranged.

She was gettin' bombed,
And i was gettin' blown away,
And she held it in her hand
And this is what she had to say:
A pearl necklace.
She wanna pearl necklace.
She wanna pearl necklace.

She's so cold, as pure as the driven slush.
And that's not jewelry she's talkin'about, [see notes]
It really don't cost that much.

She was gettin' bombed,
And i was gettin' blown away,
And she took it in her hand,
And this is what she had to say:
A pearl necklace.
She wanna pearl necklace.
She wanna pearl necklace.

{bespectacled audience participation favorite, bausch & lomb stockholders
Were gratified to find this deguello eye-opener generated additional
Dividends as wayfarer sales soared. "shades" of insider trading?}

When you get up in the morning and the light is hurt your head
The first thing you do when you get up out of bed
Is hit that streets a-runnin' and try to beat the masses
And go get yourself some cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Spied a little thing and i followed her all night
In a funky fine levis and her sweater's kind of tight
She had a west coast strut that was as sweet as molases
But what really knocked me out was her cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

(solo)

Now go out and get yourself some big black frames
With the glass so dark thay won't even know your name
And the choice is up to you cause they come in two classes:
Rhinestone shades or cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
