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

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

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

(Oh why)

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

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

All the money that I made, boy
Looks like it’s all gonna go to him
Well she got the house

Hey, hey, hey...
Hey get rhythm

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
