Track Lyrics
Thunderbird (live) Lyrics
[Intro]
You ready for ZZ Top?
Ladies and gents, the fantastic ZZ Top
[Chorus]
Get high everybody, get high
Get high everybody, get high
Get high everybody, get high
Get high everybody, get high
Have you heard? What's the word?
It's Thunderbird
[Verse]
And all you kids from Texas
You grow so big and tall
All of them kids from Texas
They grow so big and tall
All of them like to roam
In that T-bird hall
[Chorus]
Get hi-hi-high
Really makes you feel so fine
Really goes down so smooth
Really puts you in the groove
Have you heard? What's the word?
It's Thunderbird
[Instrumental Break 2:10-2:54]
[Chorus]
Juice, juice, juice
Really makes you loose, loose, loose
Really goes down so smooth
Really puts you in the groove
Have you heard? What's the word?
It's Thunderbird
[Chorus]
Get hi-hi-high
Way up in the sky
Going to get, yes sirree
If you come and rock with me
Have you heard? What's the word?
It's Thunderbird
[Instrumental Outro 3:22-4:10]
Jailhouse Rock (live) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Going to a party in the county jail
Prison band was there
And they began to wail
Kid is shaking and began to sing
You should've heard them
Knocked out jailbirds sing
[Chorus]
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock
[Verse 2]
Spider Murphy sitting on a block of stone
Little Joey blowing on a slide trombone
Come on, Silly Willy, don't you be no square
If you cannot find a partner
Use a wooden chair
[Chorus]
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
[Verse 3]
Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For heaven's sake
No one's looking
Now's our chance to make a break"
Bugs turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix
Wanna stick around awhile and get my kicks"
[Chorus]
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
[Outro]
Everybody in the whole cell block
Everybody in the whole cell block
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I knocked down on your door, baby
To see if you were at home
Your shade was down
There wasn't even a sound
But something told me you weren't alone
What in the world can a nasty dog do
But try to get next to you?
[Verse 2]
Well, don't laugh 'cause it ain't funny
Look how it happened to me
It could happen to you
You could be a fool too
And it'd leave you in misery
I guess there's nothing
More funky king can do
But to try to get next to you
[Instrumental outro 0:57-2:42]
Blue Jeans Blues Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I done ran into my baby
And finally found my old blue jean
I done ran into my baby
And finally found my old blue jean
Well, I could tell that they was mine
From the oil and the gasoline
[Instrumental Break 1:13-2:22]
[Verse 2]
If I ever get back my blue jean
Lord, how happy could one man be
If I ever get back my blue jean
Lord, how happy could one man be
Because if I get back those blue jeans
You know my baby
Be bringing them home to me
[Instrumental Outro 3:18-4:39]
Balinese Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Deep in the south of Texas
Not so long ago
There on a crowded island
In the gulf of Mexico
It didn't take too much money
Man, but it sure was nice
You could dance all night
If you felt all right
Drinking whiskey and throwing dice
[Chorus]
Everybody knows it was hard to leave
And everybody knows
It was down at the Balinese
[Verse 2]
I remember Ruby
She always dressed in red
Wearing skintight pants
Lord, and how she could dance
With a rag wrapped around her head
[Chorus]
Everybody knows it was hard to leave
And everybody knows
It was down at the Balinese, yeah
[Outro]
Everybody knows it was hard to leave
Everybody knows
It was down at the Balinese
It was down at the Balinese
It was down at the Balinese
Mexican Blackbird Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you're down in Acuna
And you ain't up to being alone
Don't spend all your money
On just any honey that's grown
Go find the Mexican blackbird
And send all your troubles back home
[Verse 2]
They all call her "Puta"
'Cause no one really knows her name
She works the cantina
Dancin' and a-lovin's her trade
Her mama was Mez'can
And her daddy was the ace of spades
Oh, let's drive that old
Chrysler to Mexico, boy
[Bridge]
Said, keep your hands on the wheel there
Oh, it sure is fine, ain't it?
Now, you got it
Hand me another one of them brews back there
Oh, this is gonna be so good
[Outro]
She's hot as a pepper
But smooth as a Mexican brew
So head for the border
And put in an order or two
The Mexican blackbird
Will be there waiting for you
Oh, one more time
Heard It on the X Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Do you remember
Back in 1966?
Country Jesus, hillbilly blues
Where I got my licks
From coast to coast and line to line
In every county there
Talking 'bout that outlaw X
He's cutting through the air
[Chorus]
Anywhere, y'all
Everywhere, y'all
I heard it, I heard it
I heard it on the X
[Verse 2]
We can all thank Doctor B
He stepped across the line
With lots of watts, he took control
The first one of it's kind
So listen to your radio
Most each and every night
'Cause if you don't, I'm sure you won't
Get to feeling right
[Chorus]
Anywhere, y'all
Everywhere, y'all
I heard it, I heard it
I heard it on the X
[Outro]
C'mon, c'mon
Yeah, huh
Tush Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
I been up, I been down
Take my word, my way around
I ain't asking for much
I said, Lord, take me downtown
I'm just looking for some tush
[Verse 2]
I been bad, I been good
Dallas, Texas, Hollywood
I ain't asking for much
I said, Lord, take me downtown
I'm just looking for some tush
Yeah!
[Instrumental Break 0:48-1:28]
[Outro]
Take me back, way back home
Not by myself, not alone
I ain't asking for much
I said, Lord, take me downtown
I'm just looking for some tush
