(I Got Everything I Need) Almost

I got everything I need, almost.  I got everything I need, almost
but I don't got you and you're the thing I need the most.

I got a car that I bought, won't get me far.
I gotta wish on a star, tell me mama.
I got everything I need, almost.  I got everything I need, almost
but I don't got you and you're the thing I need the most.

I got friends who like me cause I got lots of dough.
The people recognize me wherever I go.
I don't got trouble getting high but if I don't get you I believe I will die.
I got everything I need, almost.  I got everything I need, almost
but I don't got you and you're the thing I need the most.

I got everything I need, almost.  I got everything I need, almost.
I got everything I need, almost.  I got everything I need, almost.
But I don't got you, and you're the thing I need the most.


B Movie Box Car Blues

Caught a ride into South Dakota with two girls in a light blue Desoto.
One's name was Jane, the other was plain but they both had racing motors.
Next I caught a ride with a gambler's wife, she had a brand new lay down Rambler.
She parked on the side of town, she layed the Rambler down,
she said she sure couldn't take it any lower.

Doing my best to get back to you, ain't nothing I'd rather do.
Look for me Sunday, gonna be there, honey with something special just for you.

Made a truck stop, toothpick and water, got a ride from a fruit picker's daughter.
Drove her through the night, let the fruit just right, she said, "All I could eat for a quarter."
Next, hopped a train with a hobo woman who said she was from Texas too.
The way that she did, what she did, when she did what she did to me made me think of you.
Hey, honey made me think of you.

Doing my best to get back to you, ain't nothing I'd rather do.
Look for me Sunday, gonna be there, honey with something special just for you.


Do You Love Me

You broke my heart cause I couldn't dance, you didn't even want me around.
But now I'm back to show you I can really shake 'em down.

Do you love me (I can really move)?  Do you love me (I'm in the groove)?
Do you love me (Do you love me) now that I can dance?

Watch me now, (work, work), now work it out, baby, (work, work) oh, you're driving me crazy.
(Work, work) with a little bit of soul, now.

Well I can mash potato (I can mash potato), I can do the twist (I can do the twist),
Well tell me, baby (tell me, baby), do you like it like this (do you like it like this)?
Tell me (tell me), tell me.

Do you love me (I can really move)?  Do you love me (I'm in the groove)?
Do you love me (Do you love me) now that I can dance?  Watch me now, uh-oh...

Do you love me (I can really move)?  Do you love me (I'm in the groove)?
Do you love me (Do you love me) now that I can dance?

Watch me now, (work, work), now work it out, baby, (work, work) oh, you're driving me crazy.
(Work, work) Shake it up shake it up now.

Do you love me (I can really move)?  Do you love me (I'm in the groove)?
Do you love me (Do you love me)?


Everybody Needs Somebody To Love

We're so glad to see so many of you lovely people here tonight, and we would especially like to welcome all the
representatives of the California Highway Patrol, who are waiting for me and Jake after the show.  We sincerely hope that you
all will enjoy the show, and please remember people, that no matter who you are, and what you do to live, thrive and survive,

everybody.

Everybody needs somebody, everybody needs somebody to love (someone to love),
sweetheart to miss (sweetheart to miss), sugar to kiss (sugar to kiss).
I need you, you, you.  I need you, you, you in the morning, when my soul's on fire.

Sometimes I feel, I feel a little sad inside.
When my baby mistreats me, I never, never, never have a place to hide, I need you.

Sometimes I feel, I feel a little sad inside.
When my baby mistreats me, I never, never, never have a place to hide, I need you.

I need you, I need you, someone to love, someone to love sweetheart to miss, sugar to kiss.
I need you, you, you...


Expressway To Your Heart

I've been trying to get to you for a long time, cause constantly you've been on my mind.
I was thinking 'bout a short cut that I could take, but I found I made a mistake.
I was wrong, it took too long.  I got caught in a rush hour,
fellows started to shower you with love and affection, now you won't look at my direction.

On the expressway to your heart, that expressway, that's the best way.
At five o'clock it's much too crowded (too crowded),
much too crowded (too crowded), much too crowded (too crowded),
too crowded for me, couldn't get through to you, baby, oh, it's too crowded.

Well there're too many in back of me and they're all trying to get in front of me.
I was thinking I saw a road up ahead but I saw a stoplight instead.
I was wrong, it took too long.  I got caught in a rush hour,
fellows started to shower you with love and affection, now you won't look at my direction.

On the expressway to your heart, that expressway, that's the best way.
At five o'clock it's much too crowded (too crowded),
much too crowded (too crowded), much too crowded (too crowded),
too crowded for me, couldn't get through to you, baby, oh, it's too crowded
Oh, oh, oh, much too crowded.  Oh, oh, oh, much too crowded.


Flip Flop And Fly

Well, now when I get the blues, gonna get me a rockin' chair.
Well, now when I get the blues, gonna get me a rockin' chair.
When the blues overtake me, gonna rock right away from here.

Now when I get lonesome, I get on the telephone.
Now when I get lonesome, I get on the telephone.
Well, I call my baby, tell her I'm on my way back home.
Well, flip, flop & fly, I don't care if I die.  Flip, flop & fly, I don't care if I die.
Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye.

Give me one last kiss, hold it a long, long time.
Give me one last kiss, hold it a long, long time.
Well, hold that kiss till I feel it in my head like wine.

Well, here come my baby, flashin' a new gold tooth.
Well, here come my baby, flashin' a new gold tooth.
Well, she's so small she can mambo in a pay phone booth.
Well, I call my baby, tell her I'm on my way back home.
Well, flip, flop & fly, I don't care if I die.  Flip, flop & fly, I don't care if I die.
Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye.  Lou Marini!

Well, like a Mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stump,
well, like a Mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stump,
I got so many women I don't know which way to jump.
Well, I call my baby, tell her I'm on my way back home.

Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye.

Hey Bartender

I went balling the other night, I started drinking and got real tight.
I blew each and all my friends, I felt so good I had to blow it again.
I said hey bartender, hey man, looka here.
A draw one, draw two, draw three, four glasses of beer.

Well, I saw a chick sitting on the end, I said baby can't we be friends.
You're looking sweet as you can be, well, come on down and drink with me.
I said hey bartender, hey man, looka here.
A draw one, draw two, draw three, four glasses of beer.

Elwood!

Well, we was having so much fun, I didn't know it was half past one.
I turned around to have on more, I looked at the clock and it was half past four.
I said hey bartender, hey man, looka here.
A draw one, draw two, draw three, four glasses of beer.

Well, jukebox girl is everything, all the cats began to sing.
I heard somebody called and said, last round for alcohol.
I said hey bartender, hey bartender, hey bartender, hey bartender
Draw one, two, three, four glasses of beer.


I Don't Know

Sick and tired by the way you do, good time Papa gonna poison you.
Sprinkle goofer dust all around your bed.
Wake up one of these days, find your own self dead.
She said you shouldn't say that.
I said what did I say to make you mad this time baby?
She said umm...I don't know, my oh my oh my,
She said I don't know but my baby's holding down.

The woman I love has got devil in her jaw.
Clothes she's wearing made out of the best of cloth
She can take 'em and wash 'em, put 'em upside a wall.
She can throw 'em out a window, pick 'em up a little before the fall.
Sometimes I think you got your habits on
She said you shouldn't say that.
I said what did I say to piss you off this time baby?
She said umm...I don't know, my oh my,
I don't know but my baby's holding down.

My momma told me, my momma sat down and cried.
She said you're too young to have as many woman as you got.
I looked at my mother dear, didn't even crack a smile.
Said if woman don't kill me I don't mind dying.
The woman I love, I want to wait for last, the woman I love, I have all class.
Thought I warned you baby, a long time ago,
better watch your step or I'm going to have to let you go.
She said you shouldn't say that.

I said baby, you know when you bend over I see every bit of Christmas
and when you bend back I'm looking right into the new year.
She said honey, you know I gave up cigarettes for my new year's resolution
but I didn't give up smoking.
I said woman, you going to walk a mile for a camel
or are you going to make like Mr. Chesterfield and satisfy?
She said that all depends on what your packing - regular or king size?
Then she pulled out my Jim Beam, and to her surprise,
it was every bit as hard as my Canadian Club.
I said what now you got to say baby?
She said umm...I don't know, my oh my,
I don't know but my baby's holding down.

Hey yeah, tell me what you did.
You can call it what you want, but I call it messing with the kid.

Minnie the Moocher

Hey folks, here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher, she was a low-down hoochie-koocher.
She was the roughest, toughest frail, but Minnie had a heart as big as a whale.

Hidey hidey hidey hi, (hidey hidey hidey hi), hodey odey odey ho, (hodey odey odey ho)
Heedey heedey heedey hee, (heedey heedey heedey hee),
hidey hidey hidey ho, (hidey hidey hidey ho).

She messed around with a bloke named Smokey, she loved him though he was cokey.
He took her down to Chinatown and showed her how to kick the gong around.

Hidey hidey hidey hi, (hidey hidey hidey hi), hodey odey odey ho, (hodey odey odey ho)
Heedey heedey heedey hee, (heedey heedey heedey hee),
hidey hidey hidey ho, (hidey hidey hidey ho).

She had a dream about the King of Sweden, he gave her things that she was needin'.
He gave her a home built of gold and steel, a diamond car with the platinum wheels.

Hidey hidey hidey hi, (hidey hidey hidey hi), hodey odey odey ho, (hodey odey odey ho)...

He gave her his townhouse and his racin' horses.  Each meal she ate was a dozen courses.
Had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes,
she sat around and counted them all a million times.

Hidey hidey hidey hi, (hidey hidey hidey hi), hodey odey odey ho, (hodey odey odey ho)...
Poor Min', poor Min', poor Min'.


Rubber Biscuit

Bow bow bow... eenngh, do that again, bow bow bow...

You know people, the other day I had a wish sandwich.
Oh yeah, yeah. A wish sandwich is the kind of a sandwich, where you do have two slices of bread,
be they white, rye or pumpernickel, and you sincerely wish you had some meat.

Bow bow bow...

You know that same day, and this will give you an idea of how down I was, I did have a ricochet biscuit.  
Oh yeah.  Well now a ricochet biscuit is that kind, that particular brand of biscuit
that's supposed to bounce off the wall back into your mouth.
And people if it don't bounce back, you will go hungry.

Bow bow bow...

Now the other day, it wasn't the same day, but I did have
a cool water sandwich and a Sunday-go-to-meeting bun,
which means I had a water melon and I took a little lady to church.

Bow bow bow...

Now I ask you people: What do y'all want for nothing?  A rubber biscuit?

Bow bow, woo woo woo.

Who's Making Love

All you fellas, gather 'round me nd let me give you some good advice.
What I'm gonna, gonna ask you now, you'd better think about it twice.
While you're out cheatin' on your woman, there is something I never ever dreamed of and that is:
who's making love to your old lady while you were out making love?
Who's making love to your old lady while you were out making love?

I've known so, so many fellows, all in that same old bag,
thinkin' that a woman was made to, to be beat on and treated so bad.
Well now fellows, let me tell you something, something I never ever dreamed of:
who's making love to your old lady while you were out making love?
Who's making love to your old lady while you were out making love?

I know there are some women guilty of this too,
I'm not trying to run your life boy, the choice is up to you.  Yeah you, you, you.

Reason why I ask this question, I used to be the same old way,
till I started to straighten up, I found out it was a bit too late.
Oh yeah, that's when it all started, something I never ever dreamed of:
Somebody was a-lovin' my old lady while I was out making love.
Somebody was a-lovin' my old lady while I was out making love.
Now who's making love to your old lady while you were out making love?
Who's making love to your old lady while you were out making love?
Somebody was a-lovin' my old lady while I was out making love.
