Lyrics

DON’T STOP!

You got me dizzy like a dingo in the desert
You got me giddy like a schoolboy in love
You got me shakin’ like a junkie in a fever
You got me crazy and I can’t get enough
You got me jumpin’ like a jack rabbit runnin’
What is this crazy thing I think I’m fallin’ in?
You got me burnin’ like a fire on fire
You gotta know this crazy heart is wearin’ thin
        Never felt this way til you knocked on my door
        Dealin’ with this feelin’ that I just can’t ignore
And I like—I really Like what you’re doin’
And I like—The way you do what you do
And I like—I really like where this is goin’
And I like—Don’t stop what you’re doin’ to me, girl
        Don’t stop what you’re doin’ ‘cause like it
        Don’t stop what you’re doin’ to me
        Don’t stop what you’re doin’ to me-- what you’re doin’ to me
        What you’re doin’—what you’re doin’ to me
You got me shakin’ like a hurricane blowin’
You got me flippin’ like a feather in a storm
You got me growlin’ like a tiger in a teacup
I got the chills baby come and keep me warm
        Tried to give you up but I just could not do it
        Ain’t nothin’ left to do but to get right down to it
And I like . . . .
        [Chorus]
We can take a holiday—you can drive me crazy all night long
Don’t you dare hold it back—you know I really like it when you come on strong
You got me moanin’ every night into my pillow
You got me feelin’ like I never felt before
You got me growlin’ like a tiger in a teacup
You got me hungry baby—got to have some more
        [Chorus]

GIVE IT ALL AWAY

Gonna get down to the riverside
Where the ragged people pray
Gonna get my life turned upside down
Gonna give it all away—gonna give it all away
Gonna get on down to hobo town
Gotta plan my getaway
Gonna get lost among the hopeless ones
Gonna give it all away—gonna give it all away
        I’m givin’ it all away—one fine day
        I’m givin’ it all away—some fine day
        Some day soon and it might just be today
        Gonna give it all away—give it all away
Not sure who I’m supposed to be
Really don’t care anyway
Tired of this one—that’s for sure
Gonna give it all away—gonna give it all away
        [Chorus]
Rent’s overdue taxman’s on my tail
Don’t know how I’m gonna pay
If I ain’t got nothin’ they got nothing to take
Gonna give it all away—gonna give it all away
        [Chorus]

MOONSHINY NIGHT

Whoa! Don’t the moon look good tonight?
Yea! Shinin’ down like a big spotlight
Come-on-come-on-come-on-come-on
Katy can you come out tonight?
Why? Why? Why stay in
On such a lovely night?
        Every little star’s on fire
        And I’m burnin’ too
        I have only one desire
        I just wanna be with you
        I do I do I do
Whoa! Yea we’re gonna paint the town tonight
Yea! gone dancin’ in the juke box light
Put on your red high heels—let’s do it up right
Why? Why? Why? you wanna hide away
On such a night?
        Can’t you hear the crickets callin’?—callin’ us away?
        And just a little moonshine is gonna
        Brush off the dust of the day
        All’s I need’s a little moonshine and a lot of your kisses
        Baby that’s the kind of shot that never ever misses
        I’m gonna get my mojo right
        Gonna be a moonshiney night tonight
Whoa! –a little lightnin’ in a paper cup
Yea! gonna knock it down and drink it all up
What do ya’ say? What do ya’ say?
Why don’t we stay out all night long?
Drink with the stars—close down the bars
And make love with the dawn
        Just a little moonshine shinin’ to carry us away
        Just a little moonshine callin’
        Come on what do ya’ say?
        [Chorus]

DEAR MR. MEMORY

nnnnnnn….nothing was on the tube that night
Just the re-run slime
And every book that was siting on the shelf
Had been read too many times
Oh I thought it would be so nice
just to hear a friendly sound
And with a telephone book and a heart full of hope
This lonely singer called every cob-webbed friend around
        Some to my surprise had been cut down on the road
        Some were busy with the kids
        Some had disappeared to parts unknown
        Some no longer lived where they once did
        Dear Mr. Memory…this is getting scary
        Everyone I used to know is either dead or married
        Chorus]

SOMETHIN’ ABOUT CHA’

You free me up inside--somethin’ I can’t deny
And you make it a brighter day
And I don’t know how else to say it
The way you sing off-key--the way you walk with me
And I don’t know if this is love
But it sure is a notch above with you
        And there’s somethin’ about cha baby
        You take away my blues
        And there’s somethin’ about cha baby
        Ain’t got nothin’ to lose
You know what? I think you see--the me inside of me
How come I feel this way?
And how come you came my way?
The way you laugh at lies--the way your laughter dies
And it seems like you know right away
The next thing I’m gonna say to you
        [Chorus]
        Takin away the blues in the nighttime
        Takin away the blues in the day
        Takin away the blues of a lifetime
        You got the right time—you got the way
Yesterday there were rainy skies--they reflected in your eyes
And the wind it was in your hair--felt like I was really there
Who says you can’t believe in something you just can’t see
And love songs are hard to write
Hope I get this one right for you
        [Chorus]

MY LAST BAND

When JFK was gone we took to the garages
Beat out a sound on our Silvertones
We had the reverb we had tremolo
We knew some Beatles we knew some Stones
        This could be my last band baby now
        This could be my last band
        This could be my last band baby now
        This could be my last band
When Vietnam was hot we took to the streets yea!
Beat out a sound that was brave and free
We had the fuzz tones we had them wah-wah’s
We grew our hair ‘til we could not see
        [Chorus]
We couldn’t hustle so we hid from the disco
Beat out a sound that was loud and brash
We had the Marshall’s cranked up to 11
We sold some Quaaludes to buy some hash
        [Chorus]
        Playin’ rockabilly in a funky little bar-N-grill
        A little acoustic duo down in Margaritaville
        Somebody wants to hear “Twist N Shout”
        You know I had my fill—had my fill!

        Tryin’ to get my songs on the radio
        But I gotta keep ‘em out on the dance floor
        With somethin’ that they already know
        Sneakin’ out to the van for a couple of blows

And nothing changes but the pockets where the money goes
And every night is just another show
And JFK is just a name for an airport
And baby this is just to let you know
        [Chorus]
