Crazy Like A Fox (Anderson)

I wake up when I want to
I sleep when I get tired
I rock and roll most every night
‘Cause it sets my soul on fire
You probably heard my name someplace
Twinks who think I’m nuts
They never tell me to my face
‘Cause they ain’t got the guts

Get my message loud and clear
I know what I’m saying
Go to the school of hard knocks
And I’m crazy
Ahhhhh, like a fox, ha-ha-ha

I never went to college
No time to read the books
My streetwise education
And my mean and scary looks
Well they got me where I am today
Wherever that may be
And I feel the urge is growin’
To keep you company

Get my message loud and clear
I know what I’m saying
I go to the school of hard knocks
And I’m crazy
Ahhhhh, like a fox
Woooooooo

Now when you see me comin’
Down Seventh Avenue
Now don’t you be suspicious
About what I want to do
Now I’m puttin’ all my defenses down
Tryin’ to get through
And I’m usin’ all my foxy ways
‘Cause I’m so in love with you

Get my message loud and clear
I know what I’m sayin’
Go to the school of hard knocks
And I’m crazy
Like a fox
Ya hear me
I said I’m crazy
Ahhhhhhhhhhh

(Crazy)
Wwwwoooooooooo
(Crazy)
I’m crazy (crazy)
Like a fox
I’m crazy (crazy), crazy
Like a, like a, like a fox
I’m crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy
Like a oo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Yeah I’m crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy
Like a fox
Yeah
Woooooo

Every Boy, Every Girl (Spampinato)

Now every boy’s gonna fall in love
And if he thinks he ain’t scared, then he’s really dumb
Every girl better think on this
She may be slick, but some boy’s gonna get his wish

Now Einstein had a little theory
It was somethin’ to do with relativity
But ? put that theory to a test
That’s why it seems confusin’, his ? were less

That two could be as close as one
As one as two could be
And far is near if eyes could see
As near as far as I can see

Well every boy’s gonna fall in love
Well every one, every one, every one
Oh yeah

Now young David was the king of the Israelites
But just one look at that Sheba set his soul on fire
Now David such a liar at the fight that night
So little Sheba’d be free to cool David’s ? of desire

Two could be as close as one
As one as two could be
And far is near if eyes could see
As near as far as I can see

Well every boy’s gonna fall in love
Well every one, every one, every one
Oh yeah

All right, come on, come on

Sitting In The Park (Stewart)

Sitting in the park
Waiting for you
Yes I'm sitting right here
Waiting for you my dear
Wondering if you're ever goin’ to show up
I don't know you're gonna show
My darlin’ I got to go
Nevertheless I say girl, you got me waiting

Sitting in the park
Waiting for you
Sitting here on the bench
With my back against the fence
Wondering if I have any sense at all
Something tells me I'm a fool
To let you treat me so cruel
Nevertheless I say, you got me waiting

Sitting in the park
Waiting for you
Why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why
(Oh why)
I wanna know why
(Tell me why)
I wanna know why
Why

Sitting in the park
Waiting for you
Sitting here on the bench
With my back against the fence
Wondering if I have any sense at all
Something tells me I'm a fool
To let you treat me so cruel
Nevertheless I say girl, you got me waiting

Sitting in the park
Waiting for you
Why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why
(Oh why)

Wanna know , wanna know, wanna know

She Got The House (Adams/Wailer)

Al, what was that number you had?
It was somethin’ about some drink you had
When you were down...what was that number you had?

She got the house
She got the car and all the kids
All the money that I made, boy
Looks like it’s all gonna go to Terry

And I saw Nancy Sinatra
And she was goin’ down to Jackson
We were headin’ down to Dallas
That’s why we told us they’ll find all the actin’

Well they said when you get down there, boy
Terry, you won’t have no trouble findin’ a girl
But the only people’s down there
Was me and Al and Merle

And I was havin’ me a talk
A talk with Mister Ed
Well I took out my Sony
And erased everything he said

All right
Well when me and Terry travel
We always have a real good time
That’s ‘cause we know all the spots
Where the women and the drinks are mighty fine

Oh when we got down to Texas
They said, "Big Al, you listen here"
Down here we drink cases and cases and cases
And cases of Lone Star beer

Cases and cases and cases
Of Lone Star beer
We drink cases and cases and cases
Of Lone Star beer
Go ahead boys
All right, Big Al let’s hit it

Well I was so broke
I was so broke, I couldn’t even afford to buy my dog a bone
And when I actually held a quarter
I said, "Yahoo, San Antone"

Yeah I was hangin’ around there
I was swimmin’ across the Rio Grande
Well I come up on the shore and I said
"Boy is that one hell of a band"
It’s the one about the notes

She got the house
She got the car and all the kids
All the money that I made, boy
Looks like it’s all gonna go to him

Well she got the house
Doo do do do do do do
Doo do do do do do do
Doo do do do do do do

Hey, hey
Come on, come on, come on


Down At The Zoo (Gregory/Adams)

Me And The Boys (Adams)

Just a buncha guys gettin' in the car
No matter who's drivin' or for how far
Feels so good, feels so alive
No backseat drivers tell us how to drive

Me and the boys
Just me and the boys
Me and the boys

Me and my buddies just like to go
We're havin' fun, everybody know
We don't fuss and we never gripe
We just groove takin' in the sights

Me and the boys
Just me and the boys
Me and the boys

Don't raise questions 'bout how it's done
We're just messin' 'round havin' fun
The car gears shiftin' well up and down
Muffler's a little loud, but we love that sound

Me and the boys
Just me and the boys
Me and the boys
It ain't like us to hang around this town
The squares just bring us down

'Cause wherever we're goin', we'll soon get there

God Bless Us All (Murray/Burrello)

All right, God bless you
You know, all you gotta do is add one syllable
And you got "God Bless Us All"
Don’t waste time with God bless you
God bless us all

Hunh....

Time to say my prayers now
Someone’s listening up above
Time to ask the Lord to bless
Everyone I love

God bless the postman
Who brings the mail
And bless the cowboys
Out on the trail
Bless the man who waves to me
When the train goes by
Bless all the pilots
Flyin’ through the sky

On my TV set
And bless our servicemen
Please don’t forget
Bless the circus acrobats
Never let them fall
God bless the ones I love
God bless us all

Hey, hey, hey...


Get Rhythm (Cash)

Hey get rhythm
When you get the blues
Come on get rhythm
When you get the blues
Get a rock 'n' roll feelin' down in your bones
Put taps on your toes and then get gone
Get rhythm
When you get the blues

A little shoeshine boy, he never gets low down
He's got the dirtiest job in town
Bendin' low at the people's feet
On a windy corner on a dirty street
When I asked him while he shined my shoes
"How do you keep from gettin' these blues?"
He grinned as he raised his little head
Popped the shoeshine rag and then he said

Get rhythm
When you get the blues
Come on get rhythm
When you get the blues
Well, a jumpin' rhythm make you feel so fine
Shake all your trouble from your worryin' mind
Get rhythm
When you get the blues

I sat down and listened to the shoeshine boy
And I thought I was gonna jump for joy
He slapped on the shoe polish left and right
He gripped his rag and then he held it tight
He stopped just 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 great big grin
He kept on poppin' and he said it again

Now get rhythm
When you get the blues
Come on get rhythm
When you get the blues
It only costs a dime, it's just a nickel a shoe
It does a million dollars worth of good for you
Get rhythm
When you get the blues
Come on get rhythm
When you get the blues

Thank you

I Gotta Go, Babe (Jenkins/Adams)

Everybody, thank you so much

Hey, we gotta go, we gotta go

I gotta go baby, so it ain’t gonna be like that
Gotta go baby, so it ain’t gonna be like that
Instead of standin’ here singin’ a tune
I could be relaxin’ in my motel room (that’s right)
I gotta go baby, so it ain’t gonna be like that

I gotta go baby, so it ain’t gonna be like that
I gotta go baby, so it ain’t gonna be like that
Standin’ here singin’ a tune
I could be relaxin’ in my motel room (that’s right)
Gotta go baby, so it ain’t gonna be like that

I gotta go baby, so it ain’t gonna be like that (let’s go, let’s go, let’s go)
Gotta go baby, so it ain’t gonna be like that
We gotta go, baby, so it ain’t gonna be like that

Unh-unh

I gotta go baby, so it ain’t gonna be like that
