AIN'T THAT JUST LIKE A WOMAN


There was Adam, happy as a man could be,
Till Eve got him messin' with that old apple tree
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

Lot took his wife down to the corner for a malted,
She wouldn't mind her business, boy, did she get salted
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

Samson thought Delilah was on the square,
Till one night she clipped him all his hair
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

From our history books we all learned,
Nero fiddled while Rome was burned
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

Marie Antoinette met some hungry cats at the gate,
They was crying for bread, she said, "Let them eat
cake"
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

You can buy a woman clothes,
And give her money on the side,
No matter what you do,
She ain't never satisfied
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time

BUZZ ME

Tell me why did you walk away
When i saw you this morning, baby
Tell me why did you walk away
Can't believe that you don't love me
Thought our love was here to stay

Buzz me, buzz me, buzz me

You mean so much to me
If i ever get my arms around you

CALDONIA BOOGIE


Walkin' with my baby she's got great big feet
She's long, lean, and lanky and ain't had nothing to eat
But shes my baby and I love her just the same
Crazy 'bout that woman 'cause Caldonia is her name

Caldonia
Caldonia
What makes your big head so hard?

I love her. I love her just the same
I'll always love her, baby, 'cause Caldonia is her name

[solos]

(spoken verse:)
You know what mama told me? Mama said son...
Keep away from that woman - she's gonna take all your
money
Hey, hey, hey boy.... Don't laugh about my mama - you
hear that?
Hey man I told you man....
You don't know what you doin' boy - don't laugh about my
mama

Caldonia
Caldonia
What makes your big head so hard?

CHOO CHOO CHA BOOGIE


Headin' for the station with a pack on my back,
I'm tired of transportation in the back of hack,
I love to hear the rhythm of the clickity clack,
And hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the
stack,
And pal around with democratic fellows named Mac;
So, take me right back to the track, Jack!

Choo choo, choo choo, ch'boogie!
Woo woo, ooh ooh, ch'boogie!
Choo choo, choo choo, ch'boogie!
Take me right back to the track, Jack!

You reach your destination, but alas and alack!
You need some compensation to get back in the black,
You take your morning paper from the top of the stack,
And read the situation 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!
Woo woo, ooh ooh, ch'boogie!
Choo choo, choo choo, ch'boogie!
Take me right back to the track, Jack!

Gonna settle down by the railroad track,
Live the life of Riley in a beaten-down shack,
So when I hear a whistle I can peak through the crack,
And watch the train a rollin' when they're ballin' the
jack,
I just love the rhythm of the clickity clack,
So, take me right back to the track, Jack!

Choo choo, choo choo, ch'boogie!
Woo woo, ooh ooh, ch'boogie!
Choo choo, choo choo, ch'boogie!
Take me right back to the track, Jack!
Take me right back to the track, Jack!

FIVE GUYS NAMED MO


I gotta tell you a story from way back
Truck on down and dig me Jack
There's Big Moe, Little Moe,
Four-Eyed Moe, No Moe,
Look at brother,
Look at brother,
Look at brother Eat Moe
Moe, Moe, Moe, Moe, Moe, Moe, Moe
Who's the greatest band around
Makes the cats jump up and down
Who's the talk of Rhythm Town
Five guys named Moe
When they start to beat it out
Everybody jump and shout
Tell me who do the critics rave about
Five guys named Moe
They came out of nowhere
But that don't mean a thing
They rate high and you'll know why
When you hear them sing
High brow, low brow, all agree
They're the best in harmony
I'm telling you folks you just got to see
Five guys named Moe
There's Big Moe ...
One guy ... Big Moe
Two guys ... Little Big Moe
Three guys ... Four-Eyed Moe
Four guys ... No Moe
Five guys ... Eat Moe
Five little guys named Moe

I LIKE 'EM FAT LIKE THAT.


Let the cats all criticize,
Joke about my baby's size;
She's reet with me
Because you see:
I like 'em fat like that.
When she bounces down the street,
She's a whole heap o' honey, and ain't she sweet?
Feels so fine
To know she's mine:
I like 'em fat like that.
You have all those lean chicks,
Tender and tall,
But when it comes to mean kicks,
My big fat mama is the best of all.
After I'm through workin',
I reach and grab my hat,
Hurry home,
Don't want her to be alone:
I like 'em fat like that!

JACK YOU'RE DEAD!


When you got no more assurance
Than a great big hunk o' lead
If you don't respond to romance
Jack, you're dead

When a chick is smilin' at you
Even though there's nothin' said
You stand there like a statue
Jack, you're dead

You been always kickin'
But you stubbed your toes
When you ups and kicks the bucket
Just like ole man Mose'

When you get no kicks from lovin'
And you blow your top instead
It's a fact that you ain't livin'
Jack, you're dead

[bridge]

When you just ain't got nobody
Since you gone and lost your head
Rigor mortis has set in, daddy
Jack, you're dead

What's the use of havin' muscles
If your life hangs by a thread
If you ain't got no red corpuscles
Jack, you're dead

You been always kickin'
But you stubbed your toes
When you ups and kicks the bucket
Just like ole man Mose'

When you get no kicks from lovin'
And the news begins to spread
All the cats will holler "murder"
Jack, you're dead

All the breath has leaked out of you
If your friends gather round the bed
And look at you and say "Mm mm, don't he look natural?"
When that happens to you, daddy Jack, you're dead

KNOCK ME A KISS


Knock Me A Kiss

I like cake, no mistake, but baby if you insist
I'll cut out the cake, just for your sake
Baby! c'mon and knock me a kiss

I like pie, i hope to die, just to get a load of this
When you get high, doggone the pie
Baby! c'mon and knock me a kiss

When you pressed your little lips to mine, that was then
i understood
They taste like candy, brandy and wine, peaches, bananas
and everything
Good
I love jam and no film flam, scratch that off my list
This ain't no jam, the jam can scram
Baby! c'mon and knock me a kiss

When you pressed your sweet little lips to mine, that was
then i understood
They taste like candy, brandy and wine, peaches, bananas
and everything
Good
I like cars and big cigars but baby they won't be missed
If everyday i hear you say
Baby! c'mon and knock me a kiss

Baby! c'mon and knock me a kiss

LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL


Hey, everybody, let's have some fun
You only live but once
And when you're dead you're done, so
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll
Don't sit there mumblin', talkin' trash
If you wanna have a ball
You gotta go out and spend some cash, and
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll
Hey mr. landlord, lock up all the doors
When the police comes around
Just tell 'em that the joint is closed
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll
Hey tell everybody
Mr. king's in town
I got a dollar and a quarter
Just rarin' to clown
But don't let nobody play me cheap
I got fifty cents more that i'm gonna keep, so
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll
No matter whether rainy weather
Birds of a feather gotta stick together
So get yourself under control
Go out and get together and let the good times roll

SATURDAY NIGHT FISH FRY


Now if you've ever been down to new orleans
Then you can understand just what i mean
All thru the week it's quiet as a mouse
But on saturday night they go from house to house
You don't have to pay the usual admission
If you're a cook, a waiter or a good musician
So if you happen to be just passin' by
Stop in at the saturday night fish fry

It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'till the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'till the break of dawn

Now my buddy and me was on the main stem
Foolin' around just me and him
We decided we could use a little something to eat
So we went to a house on rampart street
We knocked on the door and it opened up with ease
And a lush little miss said, "come in, please"
And before we could even bat an eye
We were right in the middle of a big fish fry

It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'till the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'till the break of dawn

Now the folks was havin' the time of their life
And sam was jivin' jimmie's wife
Over in the corner was a beat up grand
Being played by a big fat piano man
Some of the chicks wore expensive frocks
Some of them had on bobbie socks
But everybody was nice and high
At this particular saturday night fish fry

It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'till the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'till the break of dawn

Now the women were screamin' and jumpin' and yellin'

SOMEBODY DONE HOODOOED THE HOODOO MAN


Hey, clowns, have you dug the latest jive on the
surfar?
No, man!
Well they got him.
They got who?
You know, that man that's been cooking up that jive,
selling it to these folks 'round town,
makin 'em have them funny dreams.
You mean the hoodoo man?
Yeah!
Oh no, that cat thought he was just too grand!
Well gay, somebody done hoodoo'd the hoodoo man
Smack me down with the story gay

Ol' Joe Hannah from Lousiana,
A hoodoo king in every manner
But i found out with out a doubt,
The tables had turned on him

He ain't got a tooth in his head,
Poor Ol' Joe is almost dead
Somebody done hoodoo'd the hoodoo man

10, 10, double 10, 45, 15,
Joe cant drink no gin
Ain't nothing go over the devil's back
that don't buckle under his chin

His face looks just like gravel sand
And everybody's got Joe on the pan
Somebody done hoodoo'd the hoodoo man

Somebody done cooked up some stuff in a pot,
Not too cold and not to hot
They dropped a few drops in Joe's beef stew
Now he's blowing his top, he don't know what to do

They don't know who did it
They can't find out
But he's done hoodoo'd his last hoodoo without a doubt

Somebody done hoodoo'd --
Done hoodoo'd the hoodoo man

YOU RUN YOUR MOUTH AND I'LL RUN MY BUSINESS


You catch me beatin' up your chops?
I ought to turn you over to the cops,
But dig this spiel I'm going to lay on you, gate,
Don't cop your broom, park the body and wait.

You run your mouth and I'll run my business, brother,
You run your mouth and I'll run my business, brother,
You tell everybody I'm busted,
You talk so much you got me disgusted.
But you run your mouth and I'll run my business,
brother.

You run your mouth and I'll run my business, brother,
You run your mouth and I'll run my business, brother,
You start in tellin' me you're my pal,
And end up tellin' me how to handle my gal,
You run your mouth and I'll run my business, brother.

You run your juicy mouth and I'll run my business,
brother,
Just run your juicy mouth and I'll run my business,
brother,
You always tellin' me what to do,
Sayin', "I wouldn't do that if I was you!"
You run your mouth and I'll run my business, brother.

Just clap your liver lips and I'll run my business,
brother,
Clap your liver lips and I'll run my business, brother,
If I'd followed your advice on how to make dough,
I'd been in the jailhouse long ago.
You run your mouth and I'll run my business, brother.

Do you dig me, Jack?

AIN'T NOBODY HERE BUT US CHICKENS


One night farmer Brown
Was takin' in air,
Locked up the barnyard
With the greatest of care
Out in the henhouse
Somethin' stirred
When he hollered "Who's there?"
This is what he heard:
There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So quiet yourself,
And stop your fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
We chickens tryin' to sleep,
And you bust in
And hobble, hobble hobble hobble
With your chin
There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
You're stompin' around
And shakin' the ground,
You're kickin' up an awful fuss
We chicken's tryin' to sleep
And you bust in
And hobble, hobble hobble hobble
It's a sin!

Tomorrow
Is a busy day
We got things to do
We got eggs to lay
We got ground to dig
And worms to scratch
It takes a lot of settin'
Gettin' chicks to hatch
There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So quiet yourself,
And stop that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
Kindly point that gun,
The other way
And hobble, hobble hobble off and
Hit the hay
INSTRUMENTAL
