Lyrical Response

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

I got a little change in my pocket goin' jing-a-ling-a-ling
Wants to call you on the telephone baby, a-give you a ring
But each time we talk, I get the same old thing
Always no hug-ee no kiss-ee until I get a weddin' ring

My honey my baby, don't put my love upon no shelf
She said don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself

[row_33]

What would people think?
What if people knew?
Instead of bein' off to school
All day I was with you

Makin' lo-ove, makin' love
Makin' lo-ove, makin' love

[WhoTom]

You take my body
I give you heat
You say you're hungry
I give you meat
I suck your mind
You blow my head
Make love
Inside your bed
Everybody

Get down make love

 

 

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Every morning there's a halo hangin
From the corner of my girlfriend's four post bed
I know it's not mine but I'll see if I can use it for
The weekend or a one-night stand

 

Couldn't understand
How to work it out
Once again as predicted left my broken heart open
And you ripped it out

 

Something's got me reeling
Stopped me from believing
Turn me around again
Said that we can do it
Why'know I want to do it again

[Gray Beard]

Well woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand
Whose wine, what wine, where the hell did I dine?
Must have been a dream I don't believe where I've been
Come on, let's do it again

 

Do you, you, feel like I do? (how'd ya feel?)
Do you, you, feel like I do?

 

My friend got busted, just the other day
They said, "don't walk, don't walk, don't walk away"
Drove him to a taxi, bent the boot, hit the bag
Had to play some music, otherwise he'd just crash

 

[WhoTom]

Sittin' and starin' out of the hotel window.
Got a tip they're gonna kick the door in again.
I'd like to get some sleep before I travel,
But if you got a warrant, I guess you're gonna come in.

Busted, down on Bourbon Street.

Set up, like a bowlin' pin.
Knocked down, it gets to wearin' thin.

They just won't let you be, oh no.

 

[Gray Beard]

At break of day when that man drove away I was waiting
I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

 

My my my Delilah
Why why why Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more

[Another Fan]

Hey there, Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
What you do to me

 

(Note: I couldn't stand this song when it was on the radio every day years back.) 

[SinceThe70s]

The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
And long ago somebody left with the cup
But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns

'Cause he's going the distance
He's going for speed
She's all alone (all alone)
All alone in her time of need

 

 

[KD in CA]

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home

 

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore

[SinceThe70s]

Jenny jenny who can I turn to
You give me something I can hold on to
I know you'll think I'm like the others before
Who saw your name and number on the wall

[Gray Beard]

 

I was searchin' (searchin') on a one-way street
I was hopin' (hopin') for a chance to meet
I was waitin' for the operator on the line
(She's gone so long)
What can I do?
(Where could she be?)
Don't know what I'm gonna do
I gotta get back to you

 

You gotta slow down (slow down), sweet talkin' woman
You got me runnin', you got me searchin'
Hold on (hold on), sweet talkin' lover
It's so sad if that's the way it's over

[ExiledInIllinois]

Well, I've spent a lifetime lookin' for you;
singles bars and good time lovers were never true.
Playin' a fools game hopin' to win; 
and tellin' those sweet lies and losin' again.
I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places,
Lookin' for love in too many faces,
searchin' their eyes and lookin' for traces
of what I'm dreamin' of.
Hopin' to find a friend and a lover;
I'll bless the day I discover 
another heart lookin' for love.

[WhoTom]

We walk away with memories
And clutch them to our hearts
We're disembodied entities
We move in fits and starts
For burning wine
Intoxicates,
And takes all caution in its flames
All lovers are deranged.

 

 

[Gray Beard]

Memories light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were

 

Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we?
Could we?

 

Memories may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter we will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were

[KD in CA]

She was seaside sittin', just a smokin' and a drinkin' on ringside,
On top of the world, oh, yeah
She had her drink in her hand she had her toes in the sand and whoa,
What a beautiful girl, ah, yeah
What a sweet talkin' honey with a little bit of money can turn your head around
Creatures from the sea with the look to me like she'd like to fool around
What a snappy little mammy gonna keep her pappy happy
And accompany me to the ends of the earth, ah, yeah that't what I said

 

Here I am, ain't no man of the world, no
All I need is a beautiful girl
Ah, yeah beautiful girls

[WhoTom]

One summer day
She went away
She up and left me
She gone to stay
But now she gone
And I don't worry
Because I'm sittin' on top of the world

 

[SinceThe70s]

It must be summer
'Cause the days are long
And I dial your number
But you're gone, gone, gone
I'd set out searching
But the car won't start
And it must be summer
'Cause I'm falling apart

 

I try your sister
On the Jersey Shore
She said you might be stopping by
But she's not sure
So I call your mother
On Long Island Sound
She said it must be summer
'Cause you're never around

[Gray Beard]

Cool town, evening in the city
Dressing so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop

 

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright

 

And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city

[WhoTom]

Dance all night and whirl your hair
Make the night cats stop and stare
Dance all night, go to work
Do the move with a quirky jerk

Shake it up

 

 

[ExiledInIllinois]

We move like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we walk
The way we talk
The way we stalk
The way we kiss
We slip through the streets
While everyone sleeps
Getting bigger and sleeker
And wider and brighter
We bite and scratch and scream all night
Let's go and throw
All the songs we know

Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats

We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
Wonderfully pretty!
Oh you know that I'd do anything for you 
We should have each other to tea huh?
We should have each other with cream
Then curl up by the fire
And sleep for awhile
It's the grooviest thing
It's the perfect dream

Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats

We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
Wonderfully pretty!
You know that I'd do anything for you 
We should have each other to dinner
We should have each other with cream
Then curl up in the fire
Get up for awhile
It's the grooviest thing
It's the perfect dream

Hand in hand
Is the only way to land
And always the right way round
Not broken in pieces
Like hated little meeces 
How could we miss
Someone as dumb as this?

I love you, let's go 
Oh, solid gone 
How could we miss
Someone as dumb as this?

We gotta get you a woman,
It's like nothin' else to make you feel sure you're alive
We gotta get you a woman,
We better get walkin', we're wastin' time talkin' now

 

Talkin' 'bout things about that special one
They may be stupid but they sure are fun
I'll give it to you while we're on the run
Because we ain't got time to get this thing together, 'cause we

 

Got to get together with a woman who has been around,
One who knows better than to let you down,
Let's hope there's still one left in this whole town,
And that she'll take some time to get this thing together, 'cause 
To get this thing together, 'cause

 

We gotta get you a woman
We gotta get you a woman
We gotta get you a woman
And when we're through with you,
We'll get me one too

[WhoTom]

Well, Lord, Lord, Miss Sally, why all your cryin'?
Been around here three long days, lookin' like we're dyin'
Go step yourself outside, and look up at the stars above
And go on downtown, baby, find somebody to love

 

Meanwhile, I ain't a-wastin' time no more
'Cause time goes by like pouring rain, and much faster things

[Gray Beard]

Everybody wants somebody
Everybody wants somebody to love
Someone to love
Someone to kiss
Sometime to miss, now
Someone to squeeze
Someone to please
And I need you you you
I need you you you
I need you you you
I need you you you

 

Oh, sometimes I feel like
I feel a little sad inside
My baby mistreats me
And I kinda get a little little mad

[KD in CA]

Mama's got a squeeze box
She wears on her chest
And when daddy comes home
He never gets no rest
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

[SinceThe70s]

Just let me hear some of that rock 'n' roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock 'n' roll music
If you wanna dance with me

[WhoTom]

Jenny said
When she was just about five years old,
"You know my parents gonna be the death of us all.
Two TV sets and two Cadillac cars
Well you know, it ain't gonna help me at all, not at all."
Then one fine mornin' she turns on a New York station
She doesn't believe what she hears at all.
Ooh, she started dancin' to that fine fine music
You know her life is saved by rock 'n' roll, yeah rock 'n' roll.

 

Despite all the computations
You could just dance
To that rock 'n' roll station

And baby it was alright (it was alright)

[KD in CA]

Have you seen her?
So fine and pretty
Fooled me with her style and ease
And I feel her from across the room
Yes, it's love in the third degree

Oh, baby baby
Won't-cha turn your head my way?
Oh, baby baby
Ah come on take a chance
You're old enough to

Dance the night away
Whoa-oh (ah) come on g-girl, dance the night away

[Bills4everNY]

And we danced, like a wave on the ocean, romanced

We were liars in love and we danced

Swept away for a moment by chance

And we danced and danced and danced

[Dr Krentist]

Ah we can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're are no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to, a place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind,
And we can dance

[KD in CA]

One day we'll dance on their graves
One day we'll sing our freedom
One day we'll laugh in our joy
And we'll dance

[Gray Beard]

Dancing, dancing, dancing
She´s a dancing machine
Ah babe
Move it baby

 

Automatic Systematic
Full of color self contained
Tuned and channeled to your vibes

 

Captivating Stimulating
She such a sexy lady
Built with space age design
Shes moving grooving dancing to the music stop now
Yeah

 

Rhythmic acrobatic
She a dynamite attraction
At the drop of a coin she comes alive now
She knows what shes doing
She super bad now
She's geared to really blow your mind

 

[WhoTom]

The wild night is calling
The wild night is calling
C'mon out and dance, c'mon out and make romance
C'mon out and dance, c'mon out and make romance

 

 

[PastaJoe]

We can dance if we want to, we've got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it
Everything'll work out right
I say, we can dance if we want to we can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're are no friends of mine
I say we can dance, we can dance everything out of control
We can dance, we can dance we're doing it wall to wall
We can dance, we can dance everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance everybody's takin' the chance

Oh well the safety dance
Ah yes the safety dance

This is crazy .... I had this ^^ song in my head as soon as I woke up this morning!!!

 

Let's dance
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let's dance
To the song they're playin' on the radio
Let's sway
While color lights up your face
Let's sway
Sway through the crowd to an empty space

[Another Fan]

I met my be-bop baby at the Union Hall
She cold dance all night and shake the paint off the walls.
But when I saw her smile across a crowded room
Well I knew we'd have to leave the party soon
As the band began to play out of tune.

And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced
We were liars in love and we danced
Swept away for a moment by chance
And we danced and danced danced.

[WhoTom]

I danced with Linda
I danced with Jean
I danced with Cindy
Then I suddenly see

Mary-Anne with the shaky hands
What they've done to her, man, those shaky hands

[KD in CA]

Jump up and down and move it all around
Shake your head to the sound
Put your hand on the ground
Take one step left and one step right
One to the front and one to the side
Clap your hand once and clap your hands twice
And if it looks like this then you doing it right

 

A little bit of Monica in my life
A little bit of Erica by my side
A little bit of Rita is all I need
A little bit of Tina is what I see
A little bit of Sandra in the sun
A little bit of Mary all night long
A little bit of Jessica, here I am
A little bit of you makes me your man

 

Trumpet, the trumpet
Mambo Number Five

[SinceThe70s]

Rounding the corner we come to a halt
Doors fly open as we prepare for assault
Out from the shadows step the dangerous boys
Hands holding weapons, they treat them like toys
A debutante Gretta, the taxidermist's daughter
She knows what to say
She knows how to mingle, she knows the lingo
Muchachos we're here to see Johnny
Representing the mambo

[Gray Beard]

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it, ah, out of sight
Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red

 

Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh, whoo sunny morning, un huh
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
