THAT’S WHAT LOVE CAN DO
Change a cool, cool man into a nervous wreck, baby,
That's what love can do.
With a heart of gold chained around your neck,
Doesn't mean love's not for you.
Though it don't come easy, take it honey, this may be your chance.
The night goes on forever, when you're lookin' for romance.

Make an old man young, make a young man old,
Baby that's how love can be.
Change a hard rock heart into a jelly roll,
While your warm blood starts to freeze.
When you start to love, you feel a change of personality.
You used to be so mad, but now how crazy can you be?
And now you're stumbling like a jailbird on the run,
Love arrests you and you don't know what you've done.

I ba-ba-babble like a tongue-tied man, honey, that's what love can do.
I talk sweet talk no one can understand, baby, that's what love can do.
I shake and shiver, baby, cry you a river, honey, that's what love can do.

Well, you wake feeling good, but you sleep so bad,
And you keep cryin' all the time.
To your friends' concern, you tell 'em I'm not mad,
But you think that you've lost your mind.
Though it don't come easy, take it honey, this may be your chance.
The night goes on forever, when you're lookin' for romance.

I ba-ba-babble like a tongue-tied man, honey, that's what love can do.
I talk sweet talk no one can understand, baby, that's what love can do.
I shake and shiver, baby, cry you a river, honey, that's what love can do.

And now you're mumblin'and you don't know what you're saying,
You feel so worried 'til she looks your way again.

I ba-ba-babble like a tongue-tied man, honey, that's what love can do.
I talk sweet talk no one can understand, now baby, that's what love can do.
I shake and shiver, honey, cry you a river, baby, that's what love can do.
I ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-babble, honey, that's what love can do
U-oh, U-oh, that's what love can do...

ZIG-ZAG WALK
The way you walk ain't walkin', it's something mama don't allow.
Let your hips do the talkin', and pretend you don't know how.
Ruby red, oh baby blue,
Heaven knows what I can do for you,
When you're out there, doin' the Zig-Zag Walk.

Stiletto heels in stockin's, trace the seam up to the top.
And you're daring me to touch you, but I won't know where to stop.
A little rude, that's what you say,
It must be hard to keep the wolves at bay,
When you're out there, doin' the Zig-Zag walk.

Zig-Zag, well it's my kinda move,
Big drag if I can't cut the groove,
No stone gonna be unturned,
When you're walkin', walkin' and a-talkin',
Baby, doin' the Zig-Zag walk.
Uh, doin' that walk.

The way we love ain't lovin', don't do nothin' for my heart.
Just a physical attraction, you're the bulls-eye - I'm the dart.
At least I know the way you feel,
Don't care nothing for a love that's real,
When you're out there, doin' the Zig-Zag walk.

Zig-Zag, walk like Marilyn Monroe,
Zig-Zag, talk like Brigitte Bardot,
No stone gonna be unturned,
When you're out there, walkin' and a talkin',
Baby, doin' the Zig-Zag walk.

I said baby, doin' the Zig-Zag walk,
Doin' that walk...
Mmmm, fontastique!
Ooh la la la!
She's doing that walk
The Zig-Zag walk...

CHOO CHOO CH’BOOGIE
Headed for the station with a pack on my back,
I'm tired of transportation in the back of a hack,
I love to hear the rhythm of the clickety-clack,
And hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack,
I pal around with democratic fellas named Mac,
So take me right back to the track.

Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - Whoo whoo, whoo whoo ch'boogie,
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - Take me right back to the track, Jack.

We reach the destination but alas! and alack!,
We need some conversation to get back in the black,
You take a mornin' paper from the top of the stack,
And read the Situations from the front to the back,
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 - Whoo whoo, whoo whoo ch'boogie,
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - Take me right back to the track, Jack.

I'm gonna settle down by the railroad track,
And live the life of Riley in a beaten down shack,
So when I hear the whistle I can peek through the crack,
Watch the train rollin'when it's ballin' the jack,
For I just learned the rhythm of the clickety-clack,
So take me right back to the track, Jack.

Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - Whoo whoo, whoo whoo ch'boogie,
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - Take me right back to the track, Jack.

Alright Jack! Whoo whoo.
Oi!

Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - Whoo whoo, whoo whoo ch'boogie,
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - Take me right back to the track, Jack.

Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - Whoo whoo, whoo whoo ch'boogie,
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - Take me right back to the track!.

JENNY DON’T MIND
In a movie, on a silver screen, lookin' like a angel.
Not the same now as it might've been, runnin' outta reach of your heart.

You once knew a little girl, only thing she wanted was love, your love.
It was true, every night and every day you were the only thing that she would think of.

But the light, of the stage not the light in your eye, it began to call her name.
And now you fight all the people everywhere,
'Cos they try just to share a little moment of her fame.

But Jenny don't mind if you love her, she won't have the time to call you and thank you.
Jenny don't like to say "I love you", she's learned how to fly and she can't slow down.

On the video in the afternoon, playin' up the mystery.
You catch a glimpse now, but it ends too soon.

Now it fades, as the lights go down, all her love is left on the stage.
Far away, pictures on the reel ain't true.
Smilin' face that you once knew, is not so gay.

But Jenny don't mind if you love her, she won't have the time to call you and thank you.
Jenny don't like to say love ya', she's learned how to fly and she can't slow down.

Jenny don't mind if you love her, she won't have the time to call you and thank you.
Jenny don't like to say love ya', she's learned how to fly and she can't slow down.

In a movie, on a silver screen, lookin' like a angel.
Not the same now, as it mighta' been, runnin' outta reach of your heart.

But Jenny don't mind if you love her, she won't have the time to call you and thank you.

Jenny don't like to say love ya', she's learned how to fly and she can't slow down.

Jenny don't mind if you love her, she won't have the time to call you and thank you.
Jenny don't like to say love ya', she's learned how to fly, she can't slow down...

THREE WHEELED CADILLAC
Well rave on baby, don't stop,
I love the way you do the crazy bop.
Three wheel Cadillac - three wheel Cadillac,
Lost on the highway, rockin' from side to side.

Drivin' sideways, ninety-five,
Tell me baby, how you stay alive?
Three wheel Cadillac - she drives a three wheel Cadillac,
Lost on the highway, rockin' from side to side.

Get on the right track baby, don't you treat me so bad.
You know they call you crazy, it must be drivin' you mad.

Three wheel Cadillac - a three wheel Cadillac,
Lost on the highway, rockin' from side to side.
Ooh!

Drivin' backwards, fast lane,
Gonna wind up in jail again.
Three wheel Cadillac - three wheel Cadillac,
Lost on the highway, rockin' from side to side.

Get on the right track baby, well don't you treat me so bad,
You know they call you crazy, it must be drivin' you mad.

Three wheel Cadillac - three wheel Cadillac,
Lost on the highway, rockin' from side to side.
Lost on the highway, rockin' from side to side.
Lost on the highway, rockin' from side to side.

Cadillac bop-bop - Cadillac bop-bop
Cadillac bop-bop - Cadillac bop-bop...

IT’LL BE ME
If you hear somebody knockin' on your door,
If you see something crawlin' all across the floor,
Baby, it'll be me and I'll been lookin' for you.

If you see a head a-peepin' from a crawdad hole,
If you see somebody climbin' up a telephone-pole,
Baby it'll be me and I'll been lookin' for you.

Gonna look on the mountain and in the deep blue sea,
Gonna search all the forests, gonna look in every tree.

If you feel somethin' heavy on your fishin' hook,
If you see a funny face in your comic book,
Baby it'll be me and I'll been lookin' for you.
Oh look a here now!

Yeah!

Gonna look in the city where the lights are blue,
Gonna search the countryside and all the haystacks too.

Well if you hear a voice callin' out in the night,
If you see somebody hangin' from a lampost bright,
Baby it'll be me and I'll been lookin' for you. Oh yeah!

Whoa!

Gonna look on the mountain and in the deep blue sea,
Gonna search all the forests, gonna look, gonna look in every tree.

Well if you see a new face on a totem pole,
If you find you a lump in your sugar bowl,
Baby it'll be me and I'll been lookin' for you.
I'll be lookin' for you, and I'll be lookin' for you,
I'll be lookin' for you, and I'll be lookin' for you,
I'll be lookin' for you, lookin', lookin' for you,
Lookin', lookin' for you, lookin', lookin' for you...

SILENT TREATMENT
I woke up last night about half past four, two police cars at my door.
Said you'd been drunk and out of control, you ran my car into a telephone pole,
Tell me baby, is it true what I heard? You never said a word.

Don't give me that silent treatment, don't give me that silent treatment,
When you do something bad, it only drives me mad - you do it every time.

Well, I said, "Hey baby, what you tryin' to do?
The things I heard about you can't be true.
Every night you're out on the town, you run my money into the ground,
"Hey baby, were you out with the boys?" You never made a noise.

Don't give me that silent treatment, don't give me that silent treatment,
When you do something bad, it only drives me mad - you do it every time.

Well you broke my heart, it was an accident, just like my money, all my love is spent.
I don't know why but I can't get through to you.

Don't give me that silent treatment, don't give me that silent treatment,
When you do something bad, it only drives me mad - you do it every time.

Well you broke my heart, it was an accident, just like my money, all my love is spent.
I don't know why but I can't get through to you.

Don't give me that silent treatment, don't give me that silent treatment,
When you do something bad, it only drives me mad - you do it every time.
Oh yeah!

Don't give me that silent treatment, don't give me that silent treatment,
When you do something bad, it only drives me mad - you do it every time.

Don't give me that silent treatment, don't give me that silent treatment,
When you do something bad, it always drives me mad - you do it every time.

Don't give me that - (Silent treatment) (Silent treatment)
You do something bad, it only drives me mad - you do it every time.

Don't give me that - (Silent treatment)
You do something bad, it only drives me mad - you do it every time.

Don't give me that silent treatment, don't give me that silent treatment

When you do something bad, it only drives me mad - you do it every time.

Don't give me that.

DOWN THE ROAD APIECE
Now if you wanna hear some boogie like I'm gonna' play,
It's just an old piano and a knocked-out bass,
The drummer man's a cat they call Kickin' McCoy,
I know you remember that old rubber-leg boy.
Mama cookin' chicken, fried in bacon grease,
Come on along boys, it's just down the road apiece.

Well, there's a place you really get your kicks,
Its open every night, from 'bout twelve to six.
If you wanna hear some boogie, you can get your fill,
They shoot the eight beat to you like an old steam drill.
Come on along you can to lose your lease,
Down the road, down the road, down the road apiece

Well, there's a place you really get your kicks,
Its open every night, from 'bout twelve to six,
If you wanna hear some boogie, you can get your fill,
They shoot the eight beat to you like an old steam drill.
Come on along, you can lose your lease,
Down the road, down the road, down the road apiece.

Down the road, down the road,
Down the road, down the road,
Down the road, down the road.
Well, momma cookin' chicken, fried in bacon grease,
Come on along boys, it's just down the road apiece.

Down the road, down the road,
Down the road, down the road,
Down the road, down the road.
Well, it's better than chicken fried in bacon grease,
Come on along boys, it's just down the road apiece.

SEVEN DAY WEEKEND
Oh yeah! Alright!

I had myself a good job in the city,
Pushin' a pen and talkin' on the phone.
The money was good but the work was such a big drag,
I thought that my brain would turn to stone.

But I ain't gonna work no more, I've got better things to do, I do,
I need a seven day weekend, spend some time with you, mmm hmm.

They told me if I stayed on for a lifetime,
I'd be an office manager some day.
But my heart was never in the right place,
I only went there for the pay.

But I ain't gonna work no more, I've got better things to do, mmm hmm,
I need a seven day weekend, spend some time with you, Oh yeah.

Well on Friday, the weekend rolls around,
Saturday, I'm gonna rock this town.
On Sunday, won't have to worry no more,
'Cause Monday ain't so bad when there's no work in store.

I guess the money comes in handy,
It helps me pay the bills and rent.
But if I stay too long on this job,
I'll wonder where my time all went.

But I ain't gonna work no more, I've got better things to do, doo-bah-doo.
I need a seven day weekend, spend some time with you. Oh come on!

Whoo!

Well Tuesday, I'll hang out the beach,
Wednesday, this boy can not be reached.
Thursday, I'll stand out in the rain,
When Friday comes, I'll start all over again.

But I ain't gonna work no more, I've got better things to do, you know I do!
I need a seven day weekend, spend some time with you, mmm hmm.
I need a seven day weekend, spend some time with you.
I need a seven day weekend, spend some time with you, oh yeah!

LINDA LOU
Ooh well now they call my baby Patty,
But her real name, her real name, her real name is Linda Lou.
Well they call my baby Betty,
But her real name, her real name, her real name is Linda Lou.
She's so fine, fair and pretty, you don't know what my baby's gonna do, my Linda Lou.

When she goes strollin' down the street,
All the cats, all the cats, all the cats turn and look around.
Well now she give everybody the eye,
You never know, you never know, you never know what my baby's gonna put down.
Everybody always tells me I got the cutest little girl in town.

I'm gonna marry that girl next Saturday night,
Make her mine for the rest of my life,
From now on my rovin' days are through,
And it's all because of that chick, Linda Lou.

Linda Lou, Linda Lou,
Tell me what are you gonna do?
I had a real bad dream last night,
Honey you said, you said, you said, you said that we were through.
Well now if you ever leave, you're gonna break my poor heart in two, my Linda Lou.
Yeah.

I'm gonna marry that girl next Saturday night,
Make her mine for the rest of my life,
Now all my rovin' days are through,
And it's all because of that chick, Linda Lou.

Linda Lou, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, what are you gonna do?
I had a real bad dream last night,
Honey you said, you said, you said, you said that we were through.
Well now if you ever leave, you're gonna break my poor heart in two, my Linda Lou
