Lyrics

I got my guitar when I was ten years old
Found a love in rock an’ roll
Now I’m on the verge of a nervous breakdown
I’m gonna give my body and soul

It’s so crazy
But you know that I like it
I’ve found a cure for my body and soul
I’ve got me an overdose of rock and roll

I jammed everyday
I jammed every night
I practiced till I knew all the licks
Now I’m on the verge of a nervous breakdown
I don’t know the meaning of quit

It’s so crazy
Yes you know, but I like it
It crushes my head, my brain is on the border
But this is what the doctor ordered
Yes, it is

I jammed everyday
I jammed every night
I practiced till I knew all the licks
Now I’m on the verge of a nervous breakdown
I don’t know the meaning of quit

It’s so crazy
But I like it
It crushes my head, my brain is on the border
But this is what the doctor ordered

Lyrics

I need you, baby
Like a dog needs a bone
I need you, baby
Like a man needs a home

I need you, baby
Like a cloud needs a rain
But I’ve got to have you
Cause you drove me insane

Well, you can yank me
And you can crank me
But don’t you wake up
And don’t you try to thank me

I need you, baby
Like a dog needs a bone
I think I got one of my own

I like your legs
They’re soft to the touch
Wrapped around me
I like it so much
I need you, baby
And a couple your friends
I’ll bring em round
And we can do it again

Well, you can yank me
And you can crank me
But don’t you wake up
And don’t you try to thank me

You’re wasting my time

Well, you can yank me
And you can crank me
But don’t you wake up
And don’t you try to thank me

I said, I need you, baby
Like this dog needs a bone
I need you, baby
Like some man needs a home

I like your legs
They feel so soft to the touch
Wrap em round my face, baby
I think I dig it so much

Well, you can yank me
I said, crank me
But don’t you waste my time
I don’t want you woken up
Just so you can thank me

Well, you can yank me
And you can crank me
But don’t you wake up
And don’t you try to thank me
Well, you can yank me
And you can crank me
But don’t you wake up
And don’t you try to thank me
Well, you can yank me
And you can crank me
But don’t you wake up
And don’t you try to thank me

Lyrics

I’ve been there before, I’m comin’ back for more
I know what you like
Back in town again, lookin’ up my friends
You know what I like
Madness in the air, crazies ev’rywhere
I know what you know.
It happens ev’ry night, I gotta take a bite
Ev’rybody’s Gonzo
Come on
I know you know ev’rybody’s Gonzo

Lyrics

Baby, please don’t go
Baby, please don’t go
Please don’t go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby, please don’t go, alright

Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
I get you way down here
And make you walk alone
Baby, please don’t go, alright

When the man done gone
When the man done gone
When the man done gone
At the county farm
He had the shackles on
Baby, please don’t go

Baby, please don’t go
Baby, please don’t go
Please don’t go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby, please don’t go

When the man done gone
When the man done gone
When the man done gone
At the county farm
He had the shackles on
Baby, please don’t go

Well after you left
My baby’s leaving on that midnight train
And I’m crying
And I’m crying
Baby, please don’t go
Baby, please don’t go
Please don’t go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby, please don’t go

Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
I get you way down here
And make you walk alone
Baby, please don’t go, alright

Lyrics

All right!

Well, listen everybody
To what I got to say
There’s hope for tomorrow
If we wake up today

Well, it happened long ago
In the new magic land
The Indians and the buffalo
They existed hand in hand
Well, the Indians needed food
And skins for a roof
Only took what they needed
Millions of buffalo were the proof

I said, hey!

But then came the white man
With his thick and empty head
He couldn’t see past the billfold
He wanted all the buffalo dead

So the Indians had a fear
There we no buffalo to be found
The magic seemed to be missing
It started to look like a burial ground

But above the canyon walls
Strong eyes did glow
The leader of the land
The great white buffalo
The great white buffalo
Great white buffalo

Well, he got the battered herd
And he led ’em ‘cross the land
With the great white buffalo
They gonna make a final stand

Now, listen everybody
To what I’ve got to say
There’s hope for tomorrow
We wake up on today
There’s hope for tomorrow
If we wake up today

The great white buffalo
The great white buffalo
The great white buffalo

Lyrics

In the early morning hours there’s a din in the air;
mayhem’s on the loose
Stormtroopers comin’, and you better be prepared
Got no time to choose

Get ready. Stormtroopers comin’

Comin’ up that street, jackboots steppin’ high
Got to make a stand
Looking in your windows and listen to your phone
Keep a gun in your hand

Get ready. Stormtroopers comin’
Get ready. Stormtroopres comin’ around

Two hundred down, and it’s comin’ ’round again
Got no second choice
Where’s the justice and where’s that law
Raise your healthy voice

Get ready. Stormtroopers comin’
We’ll be ready. Stormtroopers comin’
Getting ready. Stormtroopers comin’
Get ready. Stormtroopers comin’

Lyrics

Here I come again now, baby
Like a dog in heat
Tell it’s me by the clamor now baby
I like to tear up the street,

Now I been smokin for so long,
Ya know I’m here to stay
Got you in a stranglehold, baby
You best get outta the way

The road I cruise is a bitch now, baby
But no, you can’t turn me round
And if a house gets in my way, baby
Ya know I’ll burn it down

You ran the night that you left me
You put me in my place
I got you in a stranglehold, baby
You better trust your fate

Yeah
Sometimes you wanna get higher
And sometimes you gotta start low
Some people think they gonna die someday
I got news, ya never got to go

C’mon c’mon up
C’mon c’mon up
C’mon c’mon up
C’mon c’mon up

C’mon c’mon c’mon c’mon baby
C’mon c’mon c’mon c’mon up
C’mon c’mon c’mon c’mon baby
C’mon c’mon c’mon

Road I cruise is a bitch now
Ya know ya can’t turn me round
And if a house gets in my way
Ya know I’ll burn it down

You ran the night that you left me
You put me in my place
I got you in a stranglehold, baby
That night I crushed your face

(Wang dang sweet poontang)
(Wang dang sweet poontang)

That Nadine, what a teenage queen
She lookin’ so clean, especi’lly down in between
What I like
She come to town, she be foolin’ around
A-puttin’ me down as a rock-and-roll clown
It’s all right

(Wang dang sweet poontang)
(Wang dang sweet poontang)

Wang dang, what a sweet poontang
A-shakin’ my thang as a rang-a-dang-dang in the bell
Ooh, baby
She’s so sweet when she yanks on my meat
Down on the street you know she can’t be beat
What the hell

(Wang dang sweet poontang)
(Wang dang sweet poontang)

All right, baby
You see what I got here in my hands
I got it right in my hands
Just for you, baby
I think I’m gonna yank on it one time
Look out!

Wang dang, what a sweet poontang
A-shakin’ my thang as a rang-a-dang-dang in the bell

She’s so sweet when she yanks on my meat
Down on the street you know she can’t be beat
What the hell

Lyrics

Well, I don’t know where they come from but they sure do come
I hope they comin’ for me
And I don’t know how they do it but they sure do it good
I hope they’re doin’ it for free

They give me cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever

Well, the first time that I got it I was just ten years old
I got it from some kitty next door
An’ I went to see the doctor and he gave me the cure
I think I got it some more

They give me cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
I got a bad scratch fever
The cat scratch fever

It’s nothin’ dangerous
I feel no pain
I’ve got the choo-choo train
You know you got it when you, you’re going insane
It makes a grown man cry, cry, oh won’t you make my bed

Well, I make the pussy purr with the stroke of my hand
They know they gettin’ it from me
They know just where to go when they need their lovin’ man
They know I’m doin’ it for free

I give them cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
They got a bad scratch fever
The cat scratch fever

Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever

Cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
