Eat 'em and smile

What? Well, let me roll up on the sidewalk

And take a look yes

Whoa! She's beautiful

I'm talkin' 'bout a Yankee Rose

And she looks wild, wild, wild, wild!

Are you ready for the new sensation

Well here's a shot heard

'round the world

All you back room boys salute

When her flag unfurls

Well guess who's back in circulation

Now I don't know

What you may have heard

But what I need right now's

The original good time girl

She's a vision from coast to coast

Sea to shinig sea

Hey sister you're the perfect host

Make a toast

Show me your bright lights

And your city lights, all right

I'm talkin' bout the Yankee Rose

Your bright lights

And your city lights, all right

I'm talkin' bout it...



When she walks

Watch the sparks will fly

Firecrackin' on the Fourth of July

No sad songs tonight

Something's in the air

Yeah, you can feel it can't you?

A real state of independence

So pretty when her rockets flare

Still provin' any night

That her flag's still there



She's a vision from coast to coast

Sea to shinig sea

Hey sister you're the perfect host

Head to toes



Show me your bright lights

And your city lights, all right

I'm talkin' bout the Yankee Rose

Your bright lights

And your city lights, all right

I'm in love with a Yankee Rose



Oh she's beautiful all right

Nothin' like her in the whole world

Yeah she's right on time

I'm on the case

Pick up the phone

No time to waste

She's got the beat

And there's a little bit

Comin' your way



Ah raise'em up there

Let's see who salutes baby

Little bit, little bit, little bit higher

Here's the National Anthem



I'm gonna get a little bit

Of apple pie man

Bright lights, city lights

Bright lights, city lights...

On the stage I'm in a rage

But you I never fool

Well I can rock with anyone

But not alone with you

Something starts a barkin'

Down deep inside me

I need a classy woman

To knock me off my feet



Shyboy, shyboy,

Shyboy, shyboy

Shyboy, shyboy

Give it one more time boy



Shyboy, shyboy,

Shyboy, shyboy

Shyboy, shyboy

Give it one more time boy



Oh, you make me nervous

More than I had planned

Would you want to know me

If I wasn't in the band

Crazy feelings, deep inside of me

I need a wild woman

To knock me off my feet



Shyboy, shyboy,

Shyboy, shyboy

Shyboy, shyboy

Give it one more time boy



Shyboy, shyboy,

Shyboy, shyboy

Shyboy, shyboy

Give it one more time boy



Gotta keep things movin'

Till my personality starts improvin'

Well, baby I'm easy, I'm easy, I'm easy

I'm an easy man

Well, baby I'm easy, I'm easy, I'm easy

I'm an easy man

So come on now and get me,

Honey, while you can



Available, available, available

I am free I am

Available, available, available

I am free I am

Well, I just can't help myself

I am yours to have



Come get me baby

Get me while I'm hot

Hurry, hurry baby

You can't have a lot



Push me over, push me over, push me over

I'm a pushover

Up for grabs, up for grabs, up for grabs

I am up for grabs

Well, I just can't help myself

I am yours to have



Hit it!



Come get me baby

Get me while I'm hot

Hurry, hurry baby

You can't have a lot



Push me over, push me over, push me over

I'm a pushover, baby, yeah

Up for grabs, up for grabs, up for grabs

I am up for grabs

Well, I just can't help myself

I am yours to have



I'm easy, said I'm easy

Lord, I'm easy

Lord I'm a pushover

Push me over, push me over

Talk about the high cost of lovin'

I think I hear freedom drummin' it seems

Give me your heart

And I'll give you the stars

"Yeah right," she says

"Maybe in your dreams"



Heat wave blast,

Kids are screamin'

Pavement's hot

The sidewalk's steamin'

Only me, happens every time

Thinkin' 'bout you and me

Hello, good-bye



Jazz it up or play it slow

It's still the only song I know

It's 2 a.m. and traffic's slow

Another ladies' night in Buffalo



I was list'nin' to the DJ sayin'

"Put that storm behind"

Well, the winds can blow

Bad or better

I don't mind some

Stormy weather tonight, no



I can feel it

The heat wave blast,

Kids are screamin'

Pavement's hot

The sidewalk's steamin'

Only me, happens every time

Thinkin' 'bout you and me

Hello, good-bye



Put the top down

Hit the road

Sing the only song we know

It's 2 a.m. the traffic's slow

It looks like ladies' night in Buffalo



Yeah, I got kind of a sense of deja vu

I could swear I've seen you somewhere before

You don't think you ever seen me somewhere before

Do you, huh?

Must have been two other people



I know days are safe

I didn't want to have a fight

It's too far to drive back, baby

I wanna drive her home tonight



You can jazz it up or play it slow

It's still the only song I know

It's 2 a.m. and traffic's slow

Another ladies' night in Buffalo



Well it ain't much all right I know

But it's the only song I know

2 a.m. and traffic's slow

Another ladies' night in Buffalo

This must be ladies' night in Buffalo

Well, here I'm rollin'

Down another sunny highway

Been in the sun too long

I'm goin' coconuts

But at least I'm goin' my way

I thought we'd be here

When the sun goes down



I wanna live it up

I'm gonna quit my job

I'll tell the boss to go to hell

I ain't complainin'

You do the best with what you got

I know you're laughin'

'cause it's easy to tell



I'm goin' crazy,

Goin' crazy

from the heat



Remember dancin' on the pier last night

Got drunk and fell into the water

That big policeman wasn't laughin'

Didn't blink an eye

He said, "You're messin' with the mayor's daughter"

Oh no!



Don't tell me give it up

Too busy gettin' down,

I learned my lessons well

You get me goin'

But it don't ever stop

I see you smilin' 'cause it's easy to tell



I'm goin' crazy,

Goin' crazy

From the heat



Everybody

Goin' crazy Goin' crazy

from the heat

I was born in a dump

Mama died and Daddy got drunk

Left me here to die or grow

In the middle of Tobacco Road



Grew up in a rusty shack

All I had was hanging on my back

Only you know how I loathe

This place called Tobacco Road



But it's home

only life I've ever known

Only you know how I loathe

Tobacco Road



Gonna leave, get a job

With the help and the grace from above

Save some money get rich I know

Bring it back to Tobacco Road



But it's home

The only life I've ever known

Only you know how I loathe

Tobacco Road



Bring that dynamite and a crane

Blow it up and start all over again

Build a town be proud to show

Give the name Tobacco Road

Every other inch of you looks like a lady

So don't get caught here in the city of night

If you wanna take a chance and go gun crazy

I sell protection for a price



Well call it love or call it murder

This ain't the crime of the century, no!

Don't point that thing at me!



All an' all my aim is better

Shots are clean

It's a mean go-getter

It's a bad man

On the run



I'm gonna be your dark stranger

Contact man 'tween you an' danger

I'll protect you babe

With my elephant gun



Every minute counts

When you play both sides of the law

Mmm-hmm, it's dangerous days

You'll need nine lives

Doing anything at all

A lot of folks get blown away



Well call it love or call it murder

This ain't the crime of the century

Don't aim that thing at me!



All an' all my aim is better

Shots are clean

It's a mean go-getter

It's a bad man

On the run



I'm gonna be your dark stranger

Contact man 'tween you an' danger

I'll protect you baby

With my elephant gun



Hey!



Well call it love or call it murder

This ain't the crime of the century

Don't try an' use that thing on me!

Well, Master Joe got the master plan

He got a hat full of sugar

Folks said, "You a lucky man"

One night he just disappeared

And all we found was his hat

in a clearing



Down by the 7-11

Folks cried, someone said he died

But I know Joe didn't go to heaven

No



He went looking for trouble

It was in his eyes

She was a dime a dozen

And they were two of a kind



Cherry Blue and Mighty Mouse

Kinda quiet girl

And she was supposed to be

Back at the house

With the kids and the dog

And "tonight we're rocketeers,"

Said Mouse



And I know a little joint upstairs

In the back

Where we can sweat it all out

And laugh

And without a doubt

They were, out



Looking for trouble

The real kind

She was a dime a dozen

And they were two of a kind



How many times

Have you said to yourself

Hey, I feel like a yo-yo

I've been here too long

I bet if you asked them

Our heroes would say,

Hey, we're already gone

I know, somehow I know



How many times

Have you said to yourself

Hey, pack up and go

I've been here too long

I bet if you asked them

Our heroes would say,

Hey, we're already gone

I know, somehow I know



How do I know that Mouse

Yeah

And off they drove

Late night, still life

Paper moon shinin' brilliantly

I'm sure he thinks that's cool

'cause any Moon or Mouse

Says he's a friend of hers

and this one will do just fine

So what do you say

We go lookin'...

Lookin' for love in the back of a taxi

Got lucky in a cheap hotel

Hot pants, mmm nasty!

Don't bother knockin' 'cause you know damn well



This blind date is cash and carry

Dead ringer for the big first prize

Chance meeting in the roaring eighties

And you ain't going home tonight



So shake it slowly

An' do that Bump and Grind



Well I can tell you got a few reservations

More value, bang for the buck

I may be wrong, but I think she kinda likes ya

Think quick or you're outta luck



This blind date is cash and carry

We have a winner for the big first prize

Chance meeting in the roaring eighties

And you ain't going home tonight



So shake it slowly

An' do that Bump and Grind

Rotate slowly

Make it Bump and Grind!



Huh!



Ooh, I feel romantic

Oh, I wanna let you know

Have you ever really studied dancing

Or do you make it up as you go?



Shake it slowly

An' do that Bump and Grind

Move it slowly

And make it Bump and Grind!



Bump it!

Aw right! Yeah!

That's Life

That's what all the people say

You're ridin' high on Monday

Shot down in May

But uh, I ain't never gonna change my tune

When I'm back on top in the month of June



I said That's Life

And as funny as it may seem

Some people get their kicks

Stompin' on a dream

But uh, I don't never let it get me down

Cause that big ole world keeps spinnin' 'round



Been a puppet, pirate, a poet, a pauper

A pawn and a king

Been up and down and over and out

And I know one thing

Each time that I find myself flat on my face

I pick myself up and get back in the race



That' Life, and I can't deny it

Many times I've thought of quittin' babe

But my heart wouldn't buy it

If I didn't think it was worth one try

I'd jump right on a big bird and I'd fly



Been a puppet, poet, pirate, pauper

Now I'm a king

Been up, down

I know one thing



Each time that I find myself flat on my face

I pick myself up and get back in the race



That' Life, and I can't deny it

Many times I've thought of quittin' babe

But my heart wouldn't buy it

If I didn't think it was worth one try

I'd just roll myself up in a big ball and fly
