Famous in the last century, last century

The last century, famous in the last century
The last century

Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n' roll

Don't try to take me to a disco
You'll never even get me out on the floor
In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock 'n' roll

Still like that old time rock 'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll

Won't go to hear them play a tango
I'd rather hear some blues or funky soul
There's only one sure way to get me to go
Start playing old time rock 'n' roll

Still like that old time rock 'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll

Call me a relic, call me what you will
Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n' roll

Still like that old time rock 'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll

Still like that old time rock 'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll

Babe, you're getting closer
The lights are goin' dim
The sound of your breathin'
Has made the mood I'm in
All of my resistance
Is lying on the floor
Taking me to places
I've never been before

And I can feel it, feel it
Feel it, feel it

Way down where the music plays
Way down like a tidal wave
Way down where the fires blaze
Way down, down, way, way on down

Ooh, my head is spinnin'
You got me in your spell
A hundred magic fingers
On a whirling carousel
The medicine within me
No doctor could prescribe
Your love is doing something
That I just can't describe

And I can feel it, feel it
Feel it, feel it

Way down where the music plays
Way down like a tidal wave
Way down where the fires blaze
Way down

Hold me again, tight as you can
I need you so, baby, let's go

Way down where it feels so good
Way down where I hoped it would
Way down where I never could
Way down

Way down where the music plays
Way down like a tidal wave
Way down where the fires blaze
Way down, down, down

Well the little things you say and do
Make me want to be with you
Rave on , it's a crazy feeling
And I know it's got me reeling
When you say "I love you"
Rave on

The way you dance and hold me tight
The way you kiss and say goodnight
Rave on, it's a crazy feeling
And I know it's got me reeling
I'm so glad that you're revealing your love for me

Rave on, rave on and tell me
Tell me not to be lonely
Tell me, you love me only
Rave on for me

Well the little things you say and do
Make me want to be with you
Rave on , it's a crazy feeling
And I know it's got me reeling
When you say "I love you"
Rave on

Rave on , it's a crazy feeling
And I know it's got me reeling
I'm so glad that you're revealing
Your love for me
Rave on, rave on and tell me
Tell me not to be lonely
Tell me, you love me only
Rave on for me

Rave on, rave on, rave on, rave on for me
Rave on, rave on

I'm gonna write a little letter, gonna mail it to my local DJ
Yeah, it's a rockin' rhythm record I want my jockey to play
Roll Over Beethoven, gotta hear it again today

You know, my temperature's risin' and the jukebox blowin' a fuse
My heart's beatin' rhythm and my soul keeps on singin' the blues
Roll Over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news

I got the rockin' pneumonia, I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I got the rollin' arthiritis sittin' down by the rhythm review
Roll Over Beethoven rockin' in two by two

Well, if you feel it and like it
Go get your lover
And reel and rock it
Roll it over and move on up
Just a trifle further
And reel and rock it, roll one another
Roll Over Beethoven, and dig these rhythm and blues

Well, early in the mornin' I'm a-givin' you the warnin'
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle diddle, I am playin' my fiddle
Ain't got nothin' to lose
Roll Over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news

You know she wiggles like a glow worm, dance like a spinnin' top
She got a crazy partner, oughta see 'em reel and rock
Long as she got a dime the music will never stop

Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven
Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven
Roll Over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues

Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven
Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven
Roll Over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues

Ooh, I love you baby, I love you night and day
When I leave you, baby, don't cry the night away
When I die, don't you write no words upon my tomb
I don't believe I want to leave no epitaph for two

Woh, when I'm dead and gone
I wanna leave some happy woman living on
Woh, when I'm dead and gone
I don't want nobody to mourn beside my grave

Ooh, my Melinda, she's out to get my hide
She gotta shotgun and a daughter by her side
Hey there ladies, Johnson's free
Who got the law, who got the love to keep a man like me?

Woh, when I'm dead and gone
I'm gonna leave some happy woman living on
Woh, when I'm dead and gone
I don't want nobody to mourn beside my grave

I said, oh na'n'na na, oh na'n'na na
Oh na'n'na na, oh na'n'na na

When I die, don't you write no words upon my tomb
I don't believe I want to leave no epitaph for two

Woh, when I'm dead and gone
I wanna leave some happy woman living on
Woh, when I'm dead and gone
I don't want nobody to mourn beside my grave

I said, oh na'n'na na, oh na'n'na na

Woh, when I'm dead, when I'm dead
Oh, when I'm dead and gone

Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
'Cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall

Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge

Help me, information, more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

Last time I saw Marie she's waving me good-bye
With hurry-home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
Marie is only six years old, and information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee

Come on, now baby don't you wanna go
Come on, a-baby don't you wanna go
Back to that place I love, sweet home Chicago

Come on, now baby don't you wanna go
Come on, a-baby don't you wanna go
Back to the place I love, sweet home Chicago

One and one is two, two and two is four
I got my bags loaded and I'm headin' for the door
Come on, a-baby don't you wanna go
Back to that place I love, sweet home Chicago

Now, two and two is four, four and four is eight
So won't you come on baby, don't you make me wait
Come on, a-baby don't you wanna go
Back to that place I love, sweet home Chicago

Come on, baby don't you wanna go
Come on, a-baby don't you wanna go
Back to that place I love, sweet home Chicago

Come on, a-baby don't you wanna go
Come on, a-baby don't you wanna go
Back to that place I love, sweet home Chicago

Got out really early from the factory
Drivin' like a nut in the rain
Don't think I was acting so hysterically
But I didn't see a thing until it came
Man, the drunks were verbal in the takeaway
Beating up the Chinee at the counter
I put a few inside me at the end of the day
I took out my revenge on the revolution counter

Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
You'd think by now at least that half my brain would get the message
Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
Into a brand new car

In walks Bud with his exploding nose
He'd been givin' it maximum today
He shouted "How the devil? You in trouble I suppose?
But all you ever do is run away."
Turned up the motor into hyperdrive
I wasn't gonna take any of that
Don't get bright ideas about a suicide
Cos all I ever hear is zoom bang bang bang

Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
You'd think by now at least that half my brain would get the message
Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
Into a brand new car

Crawlin', crawlin', crawlin' from the wreckage

Crawlin', crawlin', crawlin' from the wreckage
Crawlin', crawlin', crawlin' from the wreckage

Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
Bits of me are scattered in the trees and in the hedges
Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
Into a brand new car

Nothing seem to happen that ain't happened before
I see it all through flashes of depression
I dry up my drink, get people running for the door
I gotta make some kind of impression
'Cos when I'm disconnected from the driving wheel
I'm only half the man I should be
But metal hitting metal is all I feel
And everything's as good as it possibly could be

Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
You'd think by now at least that half my brain would get the message
Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
Into a brand new car

Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
Bits of me are scattered in the trees and in the hedges
Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
Into a brand new car

Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage

Crawlin', crawlin', crawlin' from the wreckage

Good golly Miss Molly, sure like to ball
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a rollin'
Can't hear your mamma call

From the early early mornin' till the early early night
You can see Miss Molly rockin' at the house of blue lights
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a rollin' can't hear your mamma call

Well, now mamma, papa told me: "Son, you better watch your step."
If you hear my mamma talking you'll remember what she said
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a rollin' can't hear your momma call

Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball

Would you hug me and a-kiss me, make me ting-a-ling-a-ling
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a rollin' can't hear your momma call

I got a brand new baby and I feel so good
She loves me even better than I thought she would
I'm on my way to her house an I'm plumb outta breath
When I see her tonight I'm gonna squeeze her to death

Claudette
Pretty little pet, Claudette
Never make me fret, Claudette
She's the greatest little girl that I've ever met
I get the best lovin that I'll ever get from Claudette
Oh oh, Claudette

Well I'm a lucky man, my baby treats me right

And when the date is over and we're at her front door
And when I kiss her good night I'll holler more, more, more

When I got home that night early one morning
Seeing the note written in ink pinned to the door
Drinking the drink cold from the fridge on the table
I drank a toast you were the most the night before
Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over it's a long way where I've been
Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over lay down

When I get home tomorrow night after this morning
Show me the care you showed in the note the night before
Maybe I won't take a drink from the table
Reckon I'll lay me straight down on the floor
Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over it's a long way where I've been
Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over lay down

When I get home tomorrow night after this morning
Show me the day, show me the note the night before
Maybe I won't take a drink from the table
Reckon I'll lay me straight down on the floor
Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over it's a long way where I've been
Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over lay down

You ain't nothin' but a Hound Dog
Crying all the time
You ain't nothin' but a Hound Dog

Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine
Well, they said you was high-class
Well, that was just a lie
Yeah, they said you was high-class
Well, that was just a lie
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine

You ain't nothin' but a Hound Dog

Crying all the time

Crying all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine

I'm gonna tell a story and it's sad but true
About a girl that I once knew
She took my love and ran it around
With any other single guy in town

I should have known it from the very start
This girl would leave me with a broken heart
Now listen people what I'm telling you
A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue

I miss her lips and the smile on her face
The touch of her hair and this girl's warm embrace
So if you don't wanna cry like I do
A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue

She likes to travel around
She'll love you and she'll put you down
Now people let me put you wise
She goes out with other guys

Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows
I fell in love and my love still grows
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say
Keep away from-a Runaround Sue

She likes to travel around
She'll love you and she'll put you down
Now people let me put you wise
She goes out with other guys

Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows
I fell in love and my love still grows
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say
Keep away from-a Runaround Sue

I should have known it from the very start
This girl would leave me with a broken heart
Now listen people what I'm telling you
A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue

Well the times are gettin' hard for you little girl
I'm a hummin' and a strummin' all over God's world
You can't remember when you got your last meal
And you don't know just how a woman feels
You didn't know what rock n' roll was
Until you met my drummer on a grey tour bus
I got there in the nick of time
Before he got his hands across your state line

I said, I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe
I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe
I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe

Now it's the middle of the night on the open road
The heater don't work and it's oh-so cold
You're lookin' tired, you're lookin' kinda beat
The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet
You didn't know how rock n' roll looked
Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group
Half-way home in the parking lot
By the look in her eyes she was givin' what she got

I said, I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe
I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe
I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe

Well, woman you're a mess, gonna die in your sleep
There's blood on my hands and my Fender's beat
Can't give you home for messin' around
My best friend told me you're the best lick in town
You didn't know that rock n' roll burned
So you bought a candle and you lived and you learned
You got the rhythm, you got the speed
Mamma's little baby likes it short and sweet

I said, I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe
I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe
I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe

I said, I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe
I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe
I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe
I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy

Here she come now, say, Mony, Mony
Shoot 'em down, turn around, come on, Mony
Hey, she gimme love and I feel all right now
You gotta toss and turn in the middle of the night
And I feel all right. I say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Make me feel alright (Mony Mony....)
