Top Jimmy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Some friends of mine, just the other night
Went to hear this cool cat blow
They say he sang so good that the roof fell in
And he didn't even stop the show
They don't remember the place, but they remember the face
And now everybody wanna go, woo!
[Chorus]
Top Jimmy cooks
Top Jimmy swings
He's got the look, ooh
Top Jimmy, he's the king
[Verse 2]
Jimmy on the television, famous people laughing with him
Jimmy on the news at five
Jimmy on the radio and even on the video
The baddest cat alive
Driving all the women crazy, all they want is Jimmy-baby
Love it when he rolls his eyes
[Chorus]
Top Jimmy cooks
Top Jimmy swings
He's got the look
Top Jimmy, woo, shake it, baby!
[Guitar Solo]
Oh!
[Verse 3]
Juke-joint Jimmy is the latest thing
He's got the sound that everybody digs
And the joint be jumpin' when the band be bumpin'
And you know they're playing crazy gigs
Well, you ain't been living 'til you've seen the living end
Top Jimmy and his Rhythm Pigs
[Chorus]
Top Jimmy cooks
Top Jimmy swings
He's got the look
Top Jimmy, oh, Jimmy
Top Jimmy, go, Jimmy
Top Jimmy
Oh, he's the king
[Outro]
Oh, Jimmy
Hot for Teacher Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Interlude]
Oh wow, man, that's it
Wait a second, man
What do you think the teacher's gonna look like this year?
My butt, man
Oh, uh
Oh, yeah
[Verse 1]
T-t-teacher, stop that screamin', teacher, don't you see?
Don't wanna be no uptown fool
Maybe I should go to Hell, but I'm doin' well
And teacher needs to see me after school
[Pre-Chorus]
I think of all the education that I missed
But then my homework was never quite like this
[Chorus]
Ow, got it bad, got it bad, got it bad
I'm hot for teacher
I've got it bad, so bad
I'm hot for teacher
[Interlude]
Hey, I heard you missed us, we're back
I'm ready
I brought my pencil
Gimme something to write on, man
Yeah, go
Uh
Ooh
[Verse 2]
I heard about your lessons, but lessons are so cold
I know about this school
Little girl from Cherry Lawn, how can you be so bold?
How did you know that golden rule?
[Pre-Chorus]
I think of all the education that I missed
But then my homework was never quite like this
[Chorus]
Woah, got it bad, got it bad, got it bad
I'm hot for teacher
I've got it bad, so bad
I'm hot for teacher, wha-oh
[Guitar Solo]
[Interlude]
Oh man, I think the clock is slow, man
What are you doing this weekend?
I don't feel tardy
Class dismissed
Ooh, yeah
[Chorus]
I've got it bad, got it bad, got it bad
I'm hot for teacher
Oh
Oh, a-yes, I'm hot
Wow
[Outro]
Oh my God
Woo
I’ll Wait Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You've got me captured, I'm under your spell
I guess I'll never learn
I have your picture, yes, I know it well
Another page is turned
Are you for real? It's so hard to tell
From just a magazine
Yeah, you just smile and the picture sells
Look what that does to me
[Chorus]
I'll wait 'til your love comes down
I'm coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now
As fine as you are
[Verse 2]
I wrote a letter and told her these words
That meant a lot to me
I never sent it, she wouldn't have heard
Her eyes do follow me
And while she watches, I can never be free
Such good photography
[Chorus]
I'll wait 'til your love comes down
I'm coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now
As fine as you are
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
You can't imagine what your image means
The pages come alive
Your magic greeting everyone who reads
Heartbreak in motor drive
Are you for real? It's so hard to tell
From just a magazine
Yeah, you just smile and the picture sells
Look what that does to me
[Chorus]
I'll wait 'til your love comes down
I'm coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now
As fine as you are
[Outro]
I'll wait 'til your love comes down
I'm coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now
As fine as you are
I'll wait
House of Pain Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Say you're gonna leave me 'cause I only tie you up
I always loved you tender, but you only like it rough
Woman bound for glory, why you leavin' me again?
Gonna pack your bags and leave this house of pain
[Verse 2]
Heartache's all around me, how many times we tried?
Said she tried to leave me, but her hands were always tied
If I had it all to do, I'd keep it just the same
Gonna fix it so you never leave this house of pain
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh, uh-uh, uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh, uh-uh, uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh, uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-ow
