Trusty rusty wreck
Four broken windows and black smoke
comin' out from the stack
I know that I'm leavin' but I never know
when I'll be back
Well, my friends they don't like it
And the girls are a little scared
When the smell of gasoline
Fills the air!
The engine is still runnin' but there’s no way
I can open the doors
I have to get in through the window
'cause the keys don't work no more
The chromes have lost their shine
And if you’re drivin' through the night
you’re lucky if you see me
‘cause this car ain’t got front lights!
I DON'T DRIVE A SHINY CHEVY
OR A PINK CADILLAC
I DON'T DRIVE A HOT ROD LINCOLN
BUT MY TRUSTY RUSTY WRECK
I get shivers down my back every time
that I see the cops
I can drive real slow but I know
I'm gonna get stopped
they try to bust me every day,
but they don’t know the way I feel:
Why does everybody think
something’s wrong with my automobile?
I DON'T DRIVE A SHINY CHEVY
OR A PINK CADILLAC
I DON'T DRIVE A HOT ROD LINCOLN
BUT MY TRUSTY RUSTY WRECK
It's saturday night you know
it's time for a ride
Get ready to ignite I’m steppin'
out over the line!
The radio is playin it loud
that ol' Chuck Berry tune
I'm still cruisin' in my car
under the light of the moon
I DON'T DRIVE A SHINY CHEVY
OR A PINK CADILLAC
I DON'T DRIVE A HOT ROD LINCOLN
BUT MY TRUSTY RUSTY WRECK
Gator boogie
I'll let you brush my pony
and get honey from my bees
try throwing this banana
to the monkey on my tree,
ride my sturdy donkey,
my horse and my this buffalo,
There's just one little thing
you really don't have to do....
DON'T YOU MESS WITH THE ALLIGATORS
DON'T MESS WITH THE ALLIGATORS
smile at my flamingo
meet the lizard at the door
hug and stroke my tiger
as she's layin' on the floor
play poker with my pet Baboon
try to box with a kangaroo
There's just one thing, baby
you really don't have to do....
DON'T YOU MESS WITH THE ALLIGATORS
DON'T MESS WITH THE ALLIGATORS
Throw a snowball at my Penguin
And squeeze my Teddy bear
Have a serious conversation
With the parrot on the chair
kiss my baby snake
love all the creatures in my zoo
There's just one thing, baby
you really don't have to do....
DON'T YOU MESS WITH THE ALLIGATORS
DON'T MESS WITH THE ALLIGATORS

My name is D.D. the bartender
I'm the best At what I do:
Just step inside and surrender,
I've got just the drink for you
Your world around will start to spin
I know it's just a matter of time
Jamaican rum or dry tequila
Whiskey, gin or Italian wine
Alcoholic boogie
Alcoholic boogie
I don’t serve water so tell me
what you want to drink!
I have seen a thousand faces,
More than the bubbles in your beer
Drinking booze behind the counter
Some happy as fuck and some in tears!
Alcoholic boogie
Alcoholic boogie
I don’t serve water so tell me
what you want to drink!

In the moonlight
In the moonlight
In the moonlight
In the moonlight
My temperature risin’
I am logging for your touch
I miss your rockin’ body,
it's getting much too much
I dreamt of you tonight
And now I can’t cool my desire
I can’t get you off my mind
‘cause you set my soul on fire
In the moonlight aww aww aww
In the moonlight aww aww aww
In the moonlight I’m howlin’ for you…
I miss your big blue eyes
and your lips as sweet as wine
I miss your arms around me and
your body close to mine
I keep tossin’ and turnin’
And I pray to hold you soon
and through my open window I keep on howlin’ at the moon
A night with Rodriguez
I woke up in the morning
around half past noon
I woke up in the morning
around half past noon
I had a beer for breakfast,
I’ll have another one soon
Jackie’s in the kitchen,
Billy’s sleepin’ on the ground
Jackie’s in the kitchen,
Billy’s sleepin’ on the ground
I have been doin’ all I want
since my baby is not around
A night with Rodriguez
A night with Rodriguez
A night with Rodriguez
oh oh and I’m beggin’ for more
No money in my pockets,
no food in my fridge
No money in my pockets,
no food in my fridge
I lost my money playin’ poker,
I lost my sandwich playin’ bridge
A night with Rodriguez
A night with Rodriguez
A night with Rodriguez
oh oh and I’m beggin’ for more
Empty bottles on the table,
cigarettes on the floor
Empty bottles on the table,
cigarettes on the floor
A lipstick kiss on the mirror
and a knife in the door
A night with Rodriguez
A night with Rodriguez
A night with Rodriguez
oh oh and I’m beggin’ for more
Bandana Joe
There’s a guy we all know
He’s in town when the warm wind blows
He’s called Bandana Joe
Long blonde hair and big blue eyes,
He’s a gentleman in disguise
Ooh ohh Bandana Joe
Forty, fifty, sixtyseven
Some say he will live forever
Ohh ohh Bandana Joe
On a hot summer night
I heard Joe howlin’ at the moon
Prayin’ for september to not come too soon
As the leaves start fallin’
His wheels start turnin’
We’ll see you soon, Bandana Joe
Riding his bike in to the sun
He’ll be back when springtime comes
We’ll wait for you, Bandana Joe
Werewolf blues

I’m gonna stay out all night long
I’m a werewolf, little baby
I’m gonna stay out all night long
Don’t blame me for this, darling,

When the moon starts calling
I’ll leave your bed and hit the streets
When the moon starts calling
I’ll leave your bed and hit the streets
It’s my nature baby, don’t try
an’ keep me between your sheets
I don’t want no other woman,
so let me free, please let me go!
I don’t want no other woman,
so let me free, please let me go!
In the night-time baby,
I’m the wildest thing you’ll ever know

a cheap bus-ticket to the Promised Land
We’re gettin’ on a Greyhound

Sit back tight it’s gonna be a long ol’ ride

Too much tequila
Too much tequila,
whiskey and wine
too many nights waitin’ for you
wastin’ my time
Too much tequila
So many teardrops for you
You’ve broken me, leaving me here
So lonesome and blue
Too much tequila
Since you ran away
My red rose tattoo dedicated to you
Has turned into grey
I wish I could push you
Too much tequila,
whiskey and wine
too many nights waitin’ for you
wastin’ my timeOut of my mind
But you’re ruby lips are still in my thoughts
There’s no peace I can find
Sitting and wondering alone with my beer
I wish I was so far fom here
Wishing these lonely days were through
But I’m still waiting for the day
I’ll be out of this blue
Rice, red beans and turnip greens
(Taylor)
“Waitress, waitress, waitress,
what do you have to eat today?”
“We have rice, red beans and turnip greens, that’s what we have today!”
“Waitress, waitress, waitress,
what do you have to eat today?”
“We have rice, red beans and turnip greens, that’s what we have today!”
I’m gettin’ sick and tired
of the same things to eat,
Yes, the one big juicy pork chop
will knock me on my feet!
“Waitress, waitress, waitress,
what do you have to eat today?”
“We have rice, red beans and turnip greens, that’s what we have today!”
…”That’s all we have today!”
No.La.
Down by that river
Under skies so blue,
That’s where I wish I could
Go back with you
Outside that wooden cabin,
by the maple tree,
I guess that’s where I left
A little piece of me
Oh Louis, Louis
I know what you mean
To miss that place called
New Orleans
It was a bright ol’ day,
Music in the air
And I realized
I was leavin’ my heart down there
Come with me my baby,
Life could be just fine
Please help me find
That heart of mine
Get me out of these troubles
I need to follow this dream
Please take me back to
New Orleans

Two steps, I'm gonna have 'em all.
I'm gonna dance off both my shoes
When they play the Jelly Roll blues
Tomorrow night at the
downtown Strutter's Ball.
Let some good time roll
Hey conductor please drive me home
down to the place where i belong:
where wintertime just never comes
and sweet girls like to have a some fun
dancin’ all day and partyin’ all night
makin’ romance under that sky so bright
Hey conductor, take me down there
where the music is in the air:
I really miss that good ol’ sound
Of a T-bone and a trumpet played so loud
A little Bloody Mary to get in the mood
You know that rhythm makes me feel so good
Oooh ooh oh oh
I couldn’t stay away
Oooh ooh oh oh
I missed that place every night and day
Oooh ooh oh oh
In those streets I’ll take a stroll
Oooh ooh oh oh
And I’ll let some good time roll
“Here we are!” tell me that’s true!
There’s something that I really have to do:
Walkin’ down the aisle with a marching band,
sun on my head and a beer in my hand,
People dancin’ all around
I’m so glad I’m back in town
Cherry, cherry
I woke up this morning,
something wrong in my head:
a little sense of emptyness
I couldn’t understand
I look at my girl,
she smiled at me:
but the light in her eyes
ain’t so bright
as it used to be
Cherry Cherry,
what are you going to do?
Give me back your lovin’
And get me out of this blues.
Open up your heart
and let me be your man
or please realese me
and let me love again
Sitting in a bar
I had never been before
mr Orbisons
is singing from the radio
That good ol’ song
of a broken hearted man
Reminding me
there’s something
you won’t tell me and
I’ll never understand
Three shots of tequila
Hey Bartender
my week is done,
I have been working all day
Now I gotta have some Fun
Hey Bartender
I got some money to spend,
I wanna dance all night
on a Rock&Roll Band
Hey Bartender
to join this place
I just changed my clothes
And put a smile on my face
Hey Bartender
Help me to forget
my days at dock,
my boss, my sweat
So give me One, Two, Three
Shots of Tequila
The band is about to play
Give me One, Two, Three
Shots Of Tequila
Help me dance my troubles away
Hey Bartender
here’s she comes again
I’ve liked to dance with her
Since I don’t know when
Hey Bartender
You’re a friend, you know
I need a little help,
she won’t say no!
Hey Bartender
I ain’t got nothing to lose
Lights are low,
The band is playin’ a blues
Hey Bartender
I can hardly speak
Look, we’re dancing
Cheek to cheek
Trashman blues
I’m a trashman
and I got the trashman blues
I’m a trashman
and I got the trashman blues
I used to sleep all day
and party all night long
but one day
things started to go wrong
And now I’m a trashman
and I got the trashman blues
I do my time
in the hot sun everyday
Cleaning up the streets
from what you throw away,
I used live my life
like a movie-star
Drinking champagne
and smoking big cigars
Cleaning up the beach
in the steamy summertime
I pick up a can of cola
Somebody “left behind”,
I see a girl
walking my direction
She winks to me,
Still Got my Rock&Roll reflection
When it’s friday night
and my week is done
I take off my working shoes,
Get ready for some fun:
Black leather jacket,
Skinny blue jeans on,
Straight to the club
to sing my bluesy “Trashman Song”
My baby likes to mambo
Some people like Diamonds and gold,
Some others like Expensive clothes
Some girls ‘d rather have a moonlight romance
But my baby Likes to dance
From the early dusk
Till the break of dawn
She always puts a good record on:
Mambo, samba or a rumba beat
To turn on her dancing feet
My baby likes to Mambo, Mambo , Mambo
My baby likes to Mambo, Mambo
My baby likes to Mambo Mambo all night long
My baby likes to Mambo, Mambo , Mambo
My baby likes to Mambo, Mambo
My baby likes to Mambo Mambo all night long
She holds me tight
Tryin’ to dance with me
But I’m the worst dancer you could ever see:
One step to the left, One to the right,
Time to turn off the light!

The City Blues
I guess I got what they call the “city blues”
I guess I got what they call the “city blues”:
Nothing left to win and nothing left to lose
Nothing left to win and nothing left to lose
In this city girl, the sky is grey
In this city girl, the sky is grey
It ain’t the kind of place where
I can live my way
It ain’t the kind of place where
I can live my way
