Jailbait Lyrics
[Intro]
Take me, take me
Take me outside and maybe
Baby, take me
Take me, take me, take me
Ow!
[Verse 1]
Take it or leave it on a Saturday night
If what you see is what you get then gimmie me a bite
Here are lots of ladies, they is real insecure
Leave it to the boys and the fool on the hill
Yeah
Hello, baby, yeah, it's me
Don't be no judge, no third degree oh jailbait
Play the fool and you play the pawn
Wake up, babe, out the door gone, jailbait
I believe in someone talking
Can't let go you got a hold oh jailbait
What it is, but you believe
In what you got, got up your sleeve oh jailbait
[Chorus]
Ooh, j-j-j-jailbait
Ooh, j-j-j-jailbait
J-j-j-j-jailbait
[Verse 2]
Take it, leave it, roll the dice
You hot as hell, I'm cold as ice oh jailbait
Tell your daddy how you do me
Put the woodshed, do it to me jailbait
Whatcha see in daddy's eyes
Check the voice, no surprise oh jailbait
Ooh
[Chorus]
Ooh, j-j-j-jailbait
J-j-j-jailbait
J-j-j-jailbait
J-j-j-jailbait
J-j-j-jailbait
[Bridge]
Do me, do you, tell me, would you, see in, me too
Do me, do you
[Verse 3]
I ain't complaining bitch's brew
Girl's a lover, never knew she's jailbait
Steeplechase, cold the sweat
You sweep your feet up, place a bet on jailbait
Look out
[Chorus]
J-j-j-jailbait
J-j-j-jailbait
J-j-j-jailbait, ow!
J-j-j-jailbait
Ooh, j-j-j-jailbait
Ooh, j-j-j-jailbait
Ooh, j-j-j-jailbait
J-j-j-jailbait, jailbait, jailbait, jailbait
Lightning Strikes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The boys and Dukes are ready to rumble
The word on the street some heads are gonna tumble
Blades gonna flash when the street gangs clash
In this avenue tonight
[Chorus 1]
When the lightning strikes
[Verse 2]
Zip gun Johnny's finger is itching
Oh the lid's gonna blow up in hell's kitchen
It's an eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
They're so ruthless when they fight
[Chorus 1]
When the lightning strikes, ooh
[Verse 3]
And it's a free for all in the parking lot
Tell me who will rule the street
And the night explodes
When the cops bring down the heat
[Chorus 2]
And the chains they crash like thunder
While the weak ones all retreat
Gotta draw first blood
Or they'll read your funeral rights
[Chorus 1]
When the lightning strikes
[Verse 4]
Um, it's dog eat dog when you're meeting your rival
In the combat zone it's a means of survival
Gonna get last licks on a suicide blitz
On a cloak and dagger night
[Chorus 1]
When the lightning strikes
[Verse 5]
Ooh, it's a free for all in the parking lot
Over who'll rule the street
And the night explodes
When the cops bring down the heat
[Chorus 2]
And the chains they crash like thunder
While the weak ones all retreat
Gotta draw first blood
Or they'll read your funeral rights
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
When the lightning strikes
When the lightning strikes
When the lightning strikes
Can't you hear the thunder
When the Lightning Strikes
Can't you hear the thunder
When the lightning strikes
Can't you, can't you, can't you hear the thunder
When the lightning strikes
Can't you, can't you, can't you hear the thunder
When the lightning strikes
Can't you, can't you, can't you hear the thunder
When the lightning strikes
Can't you, can't you, can't you hear the thunder
When the lightning strikes
Bitch’s Brew Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I tell you kinky
You foxy little flirt
I caught you in the biar path
Lifting up your skirt
Well let me tell ya now
What you been doing in the briar patch
What you been doing in your little skirt
Got...
[Chorus]
You've been fooling with the Bitch's Brew
You know the things I told you not to do
You fell into the briar patch
Ain't nothing gonna save your ass
[Verse 2]
Remember the things you said (Ass)
The saving and the screams for bread (Ass)
And now you just walked away (Ass)
So take it away, all the way
[Chorus]
Oh, you're fooling with the Bitch's Brew
That ain't the thing you ought to fool with
Now you keep your fingers out of there, honey
You know that ain't no there
[Verse 3]
The way that you really feel (There)
Down the parts on the way you deal (There)
Where the witch is sight (There)
And the things that you fight (There)
(Oh God)
[Chorus]
You've been messing with the Bitch's Brew
Now don't you know who you're talking to
Say you're talking to the Bitch's who
Tell me you really never cared
[Verse 4]
The Voodoo man eyes of fire (Cared)
The Hoodoo man most desire (Cared)
The Bitches are out and smooth (Cared)
Tell from the light of the moon
(Yodle-lay-lay-lay, yeah, yeah, yeah, come on)
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
I've been thinking
Ran my hands through the sense of time
Yeah, and I've been drinking
Just to make this here song rhyme
[Outro]
You're fooling with the Bitch's Brew
Now don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you
Don't go fooling with the Bitch's Brew, ha, ha, ha, ha
Don't go fooling with the Bitch's Brew
Don't be fooling with me now
Don't go fooling with the Bitch's Brew, Bitch's Brew, Bitch's Brew, Bitch's Brew, Bitch's Brew
Bitch's Brew, Bitch's Brew, oh yeah
Bitch's Brew, Bitch's Brew, Bitch's, Bitch's, Bitch's
Bitch's Brew
Bolivian Ragamuffin Lyrics
[Verse]
Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
You gotta dance to the tune of Bolivian Ragamuffin
Out take's short breaks
Love her til the earth quakes
Standing on the seashore looking at the city
See the street light, dog bite your lady on the titty
At the wax museum everybody cares to see themselves
As others care to see you but nobody wants to be you baby
Corporate, cabbage head
Try and get a salad made
Hold my pickle, hold your lettuce
Special orders don't upset us
Kickstand face, looks so evil like Knievel
Never make third base like a tongue in my old lady
Like a squatez vous and a domo arigato
Tip my hat to you rock a roller obbligatto
Stage show come in stride
Smoke a bone I'm feeling fine
Girls in heat will try and get us
Hash in bones won't upset us
[Bridge]
He need cash....Kick in the pants
Wanting for....Got to dance
Say it ahh....To you to give us the chance
[Outro]
Ain't gonna to do it...ain't gonna to do it[x5]
[And then sounds that only Steven Tyler can make]
Cry Me a River Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now you say you're lonely
You cried the whole night through
Well you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you
[Chorus]
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you
[Verse 2]
You drove me in and drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember all that you said
You told me love was to come in
This moment you was, you were, you were
[Chorus]
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Come on and cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Prelude to Joanie Lyrics
[Verse]
At first we three thought
It was the biblical cord of life
Then noticing it was connected to his head
How strange, not to believed
I reached out to feel, and the pony's eyes opened
The cord got hard, the head looked around
And you know who pushed and gushed
And the waters of life
First two hooved feet, then the shine of his fur
But at first to my eyes only
Feather, feathers, wings
The butterflies flew up in such colors
Exploding all around us
[Outro]
The rest I did not see, 'til there he stood, all eyes in wonder
Who me, who you
Joanie’s Butterfly Lyrics
[Intro]
In water still
The night I met the pony
It was so dark that I could hardly see
It smelled so sweet you know who and Joanie
So many butterflies one could not see
[Bridge]
We all could feel desire
Took off in flight
It was hotter than fire
Then came the light
[Verse 1]
Oooh, oooh
Oooh, ah, now smell the heat
The dancing pony unwrapped his wings
To dry off Joanie
The pony he grew in size
In thunder and rain
And finally realized
A what he was and what he does
And what he couldn't say
[Bridge]
And left to kiss the cheek of Mother Nature
Nobody here can be denied such things
Make the ladies you love, come honey
No butterfly should be denied its wings
[Verse 2]
He were a kick ass rocking horse
He like a hell bent tied to the Gavin Pole
It was a one time fantasy
I got the bare bones, fly into the Holy Land
Bare back, flying like a ruddered man
Nightmares, and he can't hold a candle to my dreams
Yeah...yeah
[Verse 3]
We rode the night
And took to wing
It was so alright
It was everything
We flew into burning skies
The thunder and rain
And finally realized
What he is and what he does
And what he couldn't say
Oh, no, no
Took off in flight
Oh, no, no
Then came the light
[Verse 4]
Flashback, something coming over me
No sweat, one time fantasy
Bare boned, and all that is the wind it seems
Hell, who's the chick
That rides into my dreams
[Verse 5]
No livery
No stable lights
No try to please
Nobody's eyes
We'll never see us again
In time it'll pass
And where did it all begin
But all in good time
Somebody shot an arrow
[Verse 6]
Now tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me never
Waking me because you're cold sometimes
Being seduced will be your own pleasures
What be his muse may be what he must find
[Outro]
He was a kick ass rocking horse
He was a one horned, unicornucopia
Two, two in Utopia
Three star, verge into infinity
Four...(four)
Four...(four)
Na na na na na
Oooh, oooh
Rock in a Hard Place (Cheshire Cat) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It was a take it or a leave it
Kind a Saturday night
I wish I could love you til the cows come home
Make it right
If it's a make-believe I say it ain't
And tell you then
Because if it's a dream I'm in, please wake me up
And smile again
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, close your eyes and what do you see
Ooh, look what in hell they did with your only belief
[Chorus]
She was a real top manner
Lies and no conniver
Heart pumping floozy
Late night driver
Her second-hand clothes
Smiling like a Cheshire cat
[Verse 2]
Said it was in and out and up and down the urching moon
Only a certain situation on the sea I'm who
Putting the ring around the rose n' pull the daisy chain
Cover your head and tell me you ain't from there and back again
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, close your eyes what do you see
Ooh, nothing but how you will live with your only belief in me
[Chorus]
She was a real top manner
Lies and no conniver
Heart pumping floozy
Late night driver
Her second-hand clothes
Smiling like a Cheshire cat
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Give a good one I want to be or not to be tonight
Why should I hold her down in bed when you should ride me right
Want you to give it all you got, no need to make amends
Cover your little mouth come up for air
I got the bends
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, close your eyes and what do you see
Ooh, nothing but how you will live with your only belief in me
[Chorus]
She was a real top manner
Lies and no conniver
Heart pumping floozy
Late night driver
Her second-hand clothes
Smiling like a Cheshire cat
A real top manner
Lies and no conniver
Heart pumping floozy
Late night driver
Her second-hand clothes
Smiling like a Cheshire cat

Passion queen, sold like black vaseline
She was a long tall Sally joystick

Drashing spurs
Pong man, puss and boots

Push Comes to Shove Lyrics
[Intro]
Can you be in love
When you live alone
Push come to shove
When you're bitching on
[Verse 1]
Now look at every

But all you heard is talk about

The girls are left behind
When forty women all spend time
With me and the boys
And the toys, yeah

With blonde hair, by crack it
Miles of blue

She looked, well, about 35 to me
When mine was still coming on to you
But I was covered back, back then
Because me and the boys
And the Toys in the Attic
Her sister, she was lank a fin
Never tought I'd given in
Her candle of youth was burning low
But me and the boys
Knew something had to go

The girls are left behind
When forty women all spend time
With me and the boys
And the toys, yeah

Push come to shove
When you're bitching on
Can you be in love
When you live alone
Push come to shove
When you're bitching on
