- Accentuate The Positive
You've got to accentuate the positive
eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmitive
But don't mess with mister inbetween
To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the Whale, Noah in the arc
What did they do
- Ain't She Sweet
There she is! There she is!
There's what keeps me up at night
Oh, gee whiz! Oh, gee whiz!
There's why I can't eat a bite
Those flaming eyes! That flaming youth!
Oh, mister oh, sister, tell me the truth...
Ain't she sweet?
- Be-Bob-a-Lula
Well be-bop-a-lula she's my baby,
Be-bop-a-lula I don't mean maybe
Be-bop-a-lula she's my baby
Be-bop-a-lula I don't mean maybe
Be-bop-a-lula she's my baby love,
My baby love, my baby love
Well she's the girl in the red blue jeans
- Be-Bop-A-Lula
Well, be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby
Be-bop-a-lula, I don't mean maybe
Be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby
Be-bop-a-lula, I don't mean maybe
Be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby love
My baby love, my baby love
Well, she's the girl in the red blue jeans
- Blue Jean Bop
Bluejean baby, with your big blue eyes
Don't want you looking at other guys
Got to make you give me, one more chance
I can't keep still, so baby let's dance
Well the bluejean bop is the bop for me
It's the bop that's done in a dungaree
You flip your hip, free your knee
- Cat Man
Cat Man's a-coming, you better look out
Cat Man's a-comin', running about
Cat Man's a-comin', lookin' for a girl
Better hide your sister man!
"C" is for the crazy hairdo that he wears around
"A" is for the arms, that he'll sneak around your waist
"T" is for the taste of lips belong to you
- Crazy Legs
Well, I got a little woman called, crazy legs
She's the queen of the teenage crowd
All the cats stuffin' nickels in the ol' jukebox
Just to watch her do the bop when the music gets loud
Crazy legs, crazy legs, a-boppin' all over the floor
Do the bop, crazy legs, do the bop
She's my baby and I don't mean maybe
- Dance To The Bop
Well there's a little juke joint on the outside of town
Where the cats pick 'em up and lay 'em down
You get your gal, I'll get mine
And we'll get together and we'll have a good time.
We'll dance a little bit to the bop, to the bop
Dance a little bit to the bop
Well dance a little bit to the bop
- Good Golly Miss Molly
Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
A-When you're rockin' and a rollin', can't hear your mama call.
From the early early mornin' to the early early night,
When I caught miss Molly rockin' at the house of blue lights,
Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
A-When you're rockin' and a rollin', can't hear your mama call.
- Hi Lili Hi Lo
On every tree there sits a bird, singing a song of love
On every tree there sits a bird, and ev'ryone I ever heard
Could break my heart without a word singing a song of love
A song of love is a sad song, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
A song of love is a song of woe, don't ask me how I know
A song of love is a sad song, for I have loved and it's so
I sit at the window and watch the rain, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
- I Got a Baby
Well, I got baby, she's still in her teens
I got a baby, man she's a real hep queen
I got a baby, she so good to me
I got a baby (i got a baby), sweet baby (i got a baby)
I got a baby (i got a baby), sweet baby (i got a baby)
Well now I got a baby and she's still in her teens (i got a baby) yeah now
- I Sure Miss You
You took away my lovely dreams
But I don`t need those things at all
You took away the kisses that I love
You took away most everything
But I don`t miss one single thing
But I, I sure miss you
I miss you every morning
- It's Been Nice
I took you out to dinner
Then I took you to a show
I had a pocketful of money
And I spent all my dough
Now I see that look in your eyes
You're about to say "bye, bye"
I don't wanna hear you say (female chorus: "goodnight")
- Keep it a secret
If you see my darling with somebody new,
Keep it a secret whatever you do.
Why should you tell me and break my poor heart?
Then foolish pride would just drive us apart.
- Lotta Lovin'
Well I wanna-wanna lotta-lotta lovin'
Well I wanna-wanna lotta-lotta huggin'
So baby can't you see that you were meant for me
I want your lovin', yes-a-ree.
Well I wanna-wanna lotta-lotta huggin'
Well I wanna-wanna lotta-lotta kissin'
So baby please proceed to get the love I need
- My Heart
My lips just can't kiss enough of
My arms just can't squeeze enough of
My heart just can't love enough of you (wo-ho woa-a-ho)
We just don't seem to date enough of
Can't wait until we're close together
I know our little dream is true (woo-who who)
- Peg O' My Heart
Peg o' my heart
I love you, don't let us part
I love you, dear little girl
Sweet little girl
Well, since I heard your liltin' laughter
It's your Irish heart I'm after
Peg o' my heart
Your glances make my heart say
- Pink Thunderbird
( Gene owned a T-Bird. He bought it with his first 1956 royality check)
I got a pink Thunderbird with a red fur seat
Well, a-baby it's mine
I got a new brick house with a two car port
Well, a-baby that's mine too
I got a bank account, well baby, filled with green
Well, a-baby it's all mine
- Race With The Devil
Well I've led an evil life, so they say
But I'll out run the devil on judgement day, I said
Move, hot-rod, move man!
Move, hot-rod, move man!
Move hot-rod, move me on down the the line, oh yeah!
Well me and the devil, at a stop light
He started rollin', I was out of sight, I said
- Right Now
I`m all alone, so come on home baby, right now
(Come-on home) right now (come-on home)
I`m all alone, so come on home baby, right now
(Come-on home) right now (come-on home)
Well, now don`t fool around
Honey, don`t you let me down, come on home
(Come-on home) come on home (come-on home)
- Roll Over Beethoven
I'm gonna write a little letter,
Gonna mail it to my local DJ.
Yeah an' it's a jumpin' little record
I want my jockey to play.
Roll Over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today.
You know, jukebox's jivin'
The jukebox's blowin' a fuse.
- Somebody Help Me
I've got a bone to pick with this world,
I'm not very handsome, I can't find a girl
I ask the aid of the whole universe
I'm not very happy, it could be worse
Somebody help me
Somebody help me
Somebody please, somebody please help me
- Unchained Melody
Inside, outside, up and around
Love set me up and love let me down again
Feel like a weatherman
One day sun, next day rain
You ask me if I really care
Don't you know the answer
Rainy day blues never felt this way
- Wildcat
Don't ever try, to tame a wild cat
You'd just be wastin' your time
Just leave like you found me
Don't put no cage around me, oh-no, not me
You want a lamb, but I'm a wild cat
If you just keep that in mind
I'll let you hug and pet me
- Wrapped Up In Rockabilly
All the kids now days like to hear me perform
Rock and roll music like before they were born
And I think it's great that they dig those sounds
That rockabilly music that we laid down
Just the other night down in New Orleans
I saw a little chick, a real teenage queen
Rockin' and a-boppin', a cute little filly
And man how she loved that rockabilly
