"CRAWDAD HOLE"
You have a line and I get pulled, honey
You have a line and I get pulled, babe
You have a line and I get pulled
We go down to the Crawdad Hole
Honey, baby mine

Saw uncle Jack with a pack on his back, honey
Saw uncle Jack with a pack on his back, babe
Saw uncle Jack with a pack on his back
Honey, baby mine

Take it a little baby won't you let me in, honey
Let me in baby
Hey little baby won't you get me in
A bottle of whiskey and a bottle of gin
Honey, baby mine


"RUNAWAY BOYS"
Get kicked out for coming home at dawn
Mom and dad cursed the day you were born
Throw your clothes into a duffle bag
Shoutin' as ya slam the door home is a drag

Who can I turn to and where can I stay
I heard a place is open all night and all day
There's a place you can go where the cops don't know
You can act real wild they don't treat you like a child

Runaway boys

Your hair's all greasy and you feel like a slob
You're only fifteen and you can't get a job
Go into the luncheonette and shoot a few games
Losing all your quarters, man it's always the same

Steal a couple of bucks to buy a new toy
Slip into the alley with the runaway boys

Runnin' faster, faster all the time
You're under age and God knows that's a crime

Runaway boys

Get kicked out for coming home at dawn
Mom and dad cursed the day you were born
Throw your clothes into a duffle bag
Shoutin' as ya slam the door home is a drag

Who can I turn to and where can I stay
I heard a place is open all night and all day
There's a place you can go where the cops don't know
You can act real wild they don't treat you like a child

Runaway boys

Runnin' faster, faster all the time
You're under age and God knows that's a crime

Runaway boys, runway boys (runaway boys), runaway boys (runaway boys)


"BE BOP A LULA"
Well, Be Bop A Lula she's my baby
Be Bop A Lula I don't mean maybe
Be Bop A Lula she's my baby
Be Bop A Lula I don't mean maybe
Be Bop A Lula she's my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll.

Well, she's the gal in the red blue jeans
She's the queen of all the teens
She's the woman that I know
She's the woman that loves me so
Be Bop A Lula she's my baby
Be Bop A Lula I don't mean maybe
Be Bop A Lula she's my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll

Well, now she's the woman that's got that beat
She's the woman with the flyin' feet
She's the woman that walks around the store
She's the woman that yells more, more, more, more
Be Bop A Lula she's my baby
Be Bop A Lula I don't mean maybe
Be Bop A Lula she's my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll.

Well Be Bop A Lula she's my baby
Be Bop A Lula I don't mean maybe
Be Bop A Lula she's my baby
Be Bop A Lula I don't mean maybe
Be Bop A Lula she's my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll


"STRAY CAT STRUT"
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Black and orange stray cat sittin' on a fence
Ain't got enough dough to pay the rent
I'm flat broke but I don´t care
I strut right by with my tail in the air

Stray cat strut, I'm a ladies' cat
A feline Casanova, hey man, thats where it's at
Get a shoe thrown at me from a mean old man
Get my dinner from a garbage can

Miaw
Yeah don't cross my path

I don't bother chasing mice around (Oh, no)
I slick down the alley looking for a fight
Howling to the moonlight on a hot summer night
Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry
Wild stray cat, you're a real gone guy

I wish I could be as carefree and wild
But I got cat class and I got cat style

I don't bother chasing mice around
I slick down the alley looking for a fight
Howling to the moonlight on a hot summer night
Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry
Wild stray cat, you're a real gone guy

I wish I could be as carefree and wild
But I got cat class and I got cat style


"FOGGY MOUNTAIN BREAKDOWN"
--Instrumental--


"BROKEN MAN"
Well he walked down to the station
With a pistol in his hand
The heat was rising off the desert sand
And it scorched the baren land

Well he packed up his bags and he headed west
With a dream in his pocket he would ride
The heat was rising on the desert sand
From the truth he couldn't hide

Broken man
Broken man with a pistol in his hand
The heat was rising on the desert sand
And it scorched the baren land

When he walked out of the factory
With a pay check in his hand
The heat was rising off the city streets
And it scorched his careless hand

As he headed down his lonely streets
In his broken down part of town
He crossed over the dividing line
And swore he'd never be found

Broken man
Broken man with a pay check in his hand
The heat was rising off the city streets
And he scorched is calloused hand

Well he walked down to the station
With a pistol in his hand
The heat was rising off the city streets
And it scorched his careless hand

Well he walked out of his office
With a briefcase in his hand
His greed has turned to bitterness
Like so many broken plans

He grabbed his coat
Left his resignation on the desk
He didn't leave a forwarding address
The heat was rising throughout the land
And through the night he ran

Broken man
Broken man with a briefcase in his hand
The heat was rising throughout the land
And through the night he ran

Broken man
Broken man with a pistol in his hand
The heat was rising throughout the land
And through the night he ran


"CRY BABY"
Pick you up on a saturday night
Hopin' that later I can hold you tight
Spendin' my money like it's out of style
I love my truck it brings a smile from you baby

You don't like it, I'll say goodnight
I don't need no cry, baby bye bye

Took you out on another date
I begged you baby please don't be late
Supposed to be ready about an hour ago
Me downstairs just pacin' the floor
You're late, I'll wait

You don't like it, I'll say goodnight
I don't need no cry, baby bye bye

The moon is rising, we could be driving
Girl we're just wasting time
With all your crying your just denying
Any love that comes to you

Bless my soul what's wrong with you
Crying all the time like babies do
The game you're playing is just not my bag
Why must you be such a drag
No fun, I'm done

You don't like it, I'll say goodnight
I don't need no cry, baby bye bye

The moon is rising, we could be driving
Girl we're just wasting time
With all your crying your just denying
Any love that comes to you

Bless my soul what's wrong with you
Crying all the time like babies do
The game you're playing is just not my bag
Why must you be such a drag
No fun, I'm done

You don't like it I'll say goodnight
I don't need no cry, baby bye bye
Baby bye bye
Baby bye bye
Baby bye bye
Cry baby bye bye

"BYE BYE LOVE"
Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Hello lonliness
I feel like I could die

Bye bye love
Bye bye sweet careers
Hello emptiness
I feel like I could die
Bye bye my love goodbye

There goes my baby with someone new
She sure looks happy
I sure ran to
We were together till he stepped in
Goodbye to romance that should've been

Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Hello lonliness
I feel like I could die

Bye bye love
Bye bye sweet careers
Hello emptiness
I feel like I could die
Bye bye my love goodbye

I'm through with romance
I'm through with love
I'm through with counting the stars above
And here's the reason that I'm so fine
My lovin' baby isthrough with me

Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Hello lonliness
I feel like I could die

Bye bye love
Bye bye sweet careers
Hello emptiness
I feel like I could die
Bye bye my love goodbye
Bye bye my love goodbye


"I FOUGHT THE LAW"
Breaking rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

Well I needed money 'cause I had none
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
Well I miss my baby and I feel so bad
I guess my race is run
She's the best friend I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

Well I'm robbin' people with a six gun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

Well I miss my baby and the good fun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

Well I miss my baby and I feel so bad
I guess my race is run
She's the best friend I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won


"C'MON EVERYBODY"
Well, c'mon everybody and let's get together tonight
I got some money in my jeans
And I'm really gonna spend it right
Well, I been doin' my homework all week long
Now the house is empty and my folks are gone
Wow, c'mon everybody

Well my baby's number one
But I'm gonna dance with three or four
And the house will be a-shakin'
From the bare feet a-slappin' on the floor
Well, when you hear the music you just can't sit still
If your brother won't rock, then your sister will
Wow, c'mon everybody

Well, we'll really have a party
But we gotta put a guard outside
If the folks come home, I'm afraid they gonna have my hide
There'll be no more movies for a week or two
No more running 'round with the usual crew
Who cares
C'mon everybody
C'mon everybody
C'mon everybody
C'mon everybody


"REBELENE"
Yeah, well all right

Gonna tell you all a story about the fame
And the glory of a girl named Rebelene
She's the renegaded daughter of a Nashville lawyer
And a legend of a musical scene

Well, she's seen giving a guitar lick
Yeah, she's country but she ain't no hick
Gonna be a hard rockin' hell-raising hillbilly queen

Rebelene, Rebelene
Why do you treat your daddy mean
Why can't you hear me when I scream
Rebelene, Rebelene

Well, her mama and her papa said

She's a rebel, and she's got to be free

Well, she's seen giving a guitar lick
Yeah, she's country but she ain't no hick
Gonna be a hard rockin' hell-raising hillbilly queen

Rebelene, Rebelene

"CAN´T HELP FALING IN LOVE"
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you

Shall I stay would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes some things are meant to be
Take my hand take my whole life too
For I can´t help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes some things are meant to be
Take my hand take my whole life too
For I can´t help falling in love with you
For I can´t help falling in love with you


"SUMMERTIME BLUES"
I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm a-gonna raise a holler
About a-workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby, try to get a date
My boss says "No dice son, you gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain´t no cure for the summertime blues

Well my mom and poppa told me "Son, you gotta make some money"
If you wanna use the car to go ridin' next Sunday
Well I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick
"Now you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problems to the United Nations
Well I called my congressman and he said, quote
"I'd like to help you son, but you´re too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues


"TWENTY FLIGHT ROCK"
Ooh, well I got a gal with a record machine when it comes to rockin' she's the queen
We love to dance on Saturday night, all alone I can hold her tight
But she's lives on the 20th floor uptown, the elevator's broken down

So I walk 1, 2 flight, 3 flight, 4. 5, 6, 7 flight, 8 flight more
Up on the 12th floor startin' to drag
15th floor I'm a-ready to sag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

Well she calls me up on the telephone says "come on over, honey, I'm all alone"
I said "baby, you're mighty sweet but I'm in bed with achin' feet"
This went on for a couple of days, but I couldn't stay away

So I walk 1, 2 flight, 3 flight, 4. 5, 6, 7 flight, 8 flight more
Up on the 12th floor startin' to drag
15th floor I'm a-ready to sag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

We havin' fun yet?
Woo!
Well, they sent it to Chicago for repairs
Til it gets fixed I'm usin' the stairs
I hope they hurry before it´s too late
I want my baby too much to wait
All this a-climbin' is getting' me down
They'll find my corpse draped over a rail

So I walk 1, 2 flight, 3 flight, 4. 5, 6, 7 flight, 8 flight more
Up on the 12th floor startin' to drag
15th floor I'm a-ready to sag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

Ooh, well I got a gal with a record machine when it comes to rockin' she's the queen
We love to dance on Saturday night, all alone I can hold her tight
But she's lives on the 20th floor uptown, the elevator's broken down

So I walk 1, 2 flight, 3 flight, 4. 5, 6, 7 flight, 8 flight more
Up on the 12th floor startin' to drag
15th floor I'm a-ready to sag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock


"RIP IT UP"
Well, it's Saturday night and I just got paid

Pa says go out and have a good time
Saturday night and my baby I'm feeling fine

Gonna rip it up

I'm gonna ball it up
I'm gonna tear it up

Well that long black train
