Tube Snake Boogie Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got a girl, she lives cross town
She's the one that really gets down
When she boogie
She do the tube snake boogie
Well, now boogie, little baby
Boogie-woogie all night long
[Verse 2]
I got a girl, she lives on the block
She kinda funky with her pink and black socks
She likes to boogie
She do the tube snake boogie
Well, now boogie, little baby
Boogie-woogie all night long
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I got a girl, she lives on the hill
She won't do it, but her sister will
When she boogie
She do the tube snake boogie
Well, now boogie, little baby
Boogie-woogie all night long
Blow your top, blow your top
Blow your top
[Instrumental Outro]
I Wanna Drive You Home Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She is an American car
She isn't legal so she can't go far
She got her mind stuck up in second gear
Where she going ain't exactly clear
Baby please, baby please
I wanna drive you home
[Verse 2]
Low mileage without a pink slip
Clean upholstery and it ain't been ripped
She stripped her gears only late last night
I don't think that thing was oiling right
Baby please, baby please
I wanna drive you home
[Instrumental Break 1:12-1:43]
[Verse 3]
She shakes and shimmies all over the road
She's always happy when she carry a load
Another lonesome automobile
Something bout the way she makes me feel
Baby please, baby please
I wanna drive you home
[Instrumental Outro 2:08-4:46]
Ten Foot Pole Lyrics
[Verse 1]

[Instrumental Break 1:23-2:22]
[Bridge]
I wouldn't touch her
With a ten foot pole
You just don't know what shape I'm in
[Instrumental Outro 2:40-4:20]
Leila Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She had a look in her eye
That could make you melt
Made me feel better than I ever felt
But bless her heart, she couldn't stay
I begged her not to go away
[Verse 2]
She left my ex best friend out in old Tucson
Told me she was leaving
And would be rolling on
Now the days just pass on by
Losing her is the reason why
[Chorus]
Leila, Leila your mind will be flying high
And everything will be alright
[Instrumental Break 1:11-1:47]
[Verse 3]
You know I love you girl more than I can say
I still think about you each and every day
My lonesome old heart still feels the same
So Leila won't you steal away
[Chorus]
Leila, Leila your mind will be flying high
And everything will be alright
[Outro]
Leila, Leila your mind will be flying high
And everything will be alright
Don’t Tease Me Lyrics
[Intro]
Watch me now
[Verse 1]
Baby, baby I need you
I'll lay it on you with a straight shot
Baby, baby I love you
I'll give it everything I got
I'm gonna try my best to hold you baby
Hold you in my arms
[Chorus]
Trying my best to please you
Never ever tease you
Don't you go and break my heart
Don't burn me like a jet fuel
Baby just be cool
Don't go tearing me apart
[Verse 2]
Baby, baby I want you
I know we're thinking about the same thing
Lord have mercy, I need you
I can read you like a magazine
I'm gonna try my best to hold you baby
Hold you in my arms
[Chorus]
Trying my best to please you
Never ever tease you
Don't you go and break my heart
Don't burn me like a jet fuel
Baby just be cool
Don't go tearing me apart
[Instrumental Break 1:44-2:25]
[Verse 3]
You know what I'm talking about
Because I'm giving you the head lines
Baby, baby I love you
Let's get ready for the good times
I'm gonna try my best to hold you baby
Hold you in my arms
[Chorus]
Trying my best to please you
Never ever tease you
Don't you go and break my heart
Don't burn me like a jet fuel
Baby just be cool
Don't go tearing me apart
[Instrumental Outro 3:05-4:21]
It’s So Hard Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When the light comes
And you're feeling down
Cause your baby's out there
Somewhere running round
Don't start feeling blue
And feeling lonely too
It's hard I know
When that love ain't true
[Chorus]
So if you feel like crying, go ahead and cry
A heartbreak will cool as time goes by
And it's so hard, baby, it's so hard to take
[Verse 2]
You just can't explain, but you know it's there
That empty feeling seems so unfair
What can you do when it's gone, it's gone
Because those loving feelings
Seem to hurt so long
[Chorus]
So if you feel like crying, go ahead and cry
A heartbreak will cool as time goes by
And it's so hard, baby, it's so hard to take
It's so hard, baby, it's so hard to take
[Instrumental Break 1:44-2:42]
[Verse 3]
Well, you work so long every day and night
Trying every thing that seems so right
But when a love falls a heart must break
And it's so hard, baby, it's so hard to take
[Chorus]
So if you feel like crying, go ahead and cry
A heartbreak will cool as time goes by
And it's so hard baby, well it's so hard baby
It's so hard baby, it's so hard to take
[Instrumental Outro 3:28-5:11]
Pearl Necklace Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She's really upset with me again
I didn't give her what she likes
I don't know what to tell her
Don't know what to say
Everything got funky last night
[Chorus]
She was really bombed
And I was really blown away
And when I asked her what she wanted
And this is what she had to say
A pearl necklace
She want a pearl necklace
She want a pearl necklace
[Verse 2]
She gets a charge out of being so weird
Digs getting downright strange
But I can keep a handle on anything
Just this side of deranged
[Chorus]
She was gettin' bombed
And I was gettin' blown away
And she knew it in her head
And this is what she had to say
A pearl necklace
She want a pearl necklace
She want a pearl necklace
She want a pearl necklace
[Verse 3]
She is so tough
And pure as the driven slush
And that's not jewelry she's talking 'bout
It really don't cost that much
[Chorus]
She was gettin' bombed
And I was gettin' blown away
And she knew it in her head
And this is what she had to say
A pearl necklace
She want a pearl necklace
She want a pearl necklace
She want a pearl necklace
Groovy Little Hippie Pad Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm gonna find me
A groovy little hippie pad
I'm gonna find me
A groovy little hippie pad
I work a hundred grand scam
From a border town
Well, I'll be feeling glad
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna find me a blonde-haired mama
In a jeep with a German shepherd by her side
I'm gonna find me a blonde-haired mama
With boots and a forty-four on her side
And if I ain't too high or used up
I'll have her take me
For a groovy little hippie ride, ow
[Instrumental Break 1:04-1:44]
[Outro]
I'm gonna fix brown rice every day
And drink down a bottle of midnight red
I'm gonna fix brown rice every day
And drink down a bottle of midnight red
That's all I need to get groovy
That's what all the little hippie said, ow
Heaven, Hell or Houston Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hello darling, surprised?
Yes, it's me again
I have just returned
From the Island of Chandelier
What am I doing in town?
Well, I'm glad you asked
I'm just passing through in search
Of the ever elusive thunderbird
[Verse 2]
I got a job as a public relations man
Passing out handbills on Austin street
Merely an effort to improve
My financial situation
And ward off a case of the D.T.'s
[Instrumental Break 1:09-2:10]
[Outro]
So farewell, my darling
Perhaps we'll meet again
On some sin-infested
Street corner in Houston, Texas
Party on the Patio Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I found an empty house
In my neighborhood
I knew that we shouldn't
But I thought we could
Knew it wouldn't be hard
To slide into the backyard
Called all my friends and slipped
A hundred to the guard
We turned on the radio
And had a party on the patio
[Verse 2]
Betty's in the sauna
And she's getting kind of hot
Mary's in the icebox
Wishing she was not
Connie's in the whirlpool
Jimmy's trying to be cool
Libby's in the bushes
Because she's nobody's fool
We turned the lights down low
And had a party on the patio
[Instrumental Break 0:53-1:41]
[Verse 3]
Heard the cops are coming
So we tried to jump the fence
Mary didn't make it
And we haven't seen her since
Connie had another drink
Jimmy simply couldn't think
Billy G was passed out
Underneath the sink
But everybody's gonna show
For another party on the patio
[Instrumental Outro 1:57-2:49]
