- 1. Cat Scratch Fever
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

- 2. Stormtroopin’
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’

- 3. Bite Down Hard
Lyrics
I knew right when I saw you
that I just had to have you
you hit me right between my eyes
I approached the situation
with no hesitation
I knew that you were just my size
You got the kind of body
that makes me feel crazy
you make me wanna jump on it
I’m like a race horse
climb into my saddle
you know I’m jumpin’ over this
I gotta bite down hard
I gotta bite down hard
I gotta bite down hard
Ooo yeah
Knocking you’re runnin’
you know I got the money
I’m gonna stack it all on you
With your small pretty legs
and your long braided hair
I tell you what I’m gonna do
I’m gonna bite down hard
I’m gonna bite down hard
I’m gonna bite down hard
I’ve got to bite it
Like this
I gotta bite down hard
Sink my teeth deep
I gotta bite down hard
I gotta bite down hard
Got to scare men
I gotta bite down hard
I gotta bite down hard
Chew one up
I gotta bite down hard
I’d like to tell ya
I gotta bite down hard
I gotta bite down hard
It’s what I’m gonna do
I gotta bite down hard

- 4. Just What The Doctor Ordered
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

- 5. Workin’ Hard, Playin’ Hard
Lyrics
Man started out with it in a cave
They’re runnin’ home, nobody’s safe
Left with a note, all alone
Only wanted to have a happy home
Now it’s my turn to show my stuff
It’s sometimes fun and sometimes rough
I’m workin’ hard to earn my way
But, lucky me, my work is play
Workin’ hard, playin’ hard
Helps me get thru each day and night
Workin’ hard, playin’ hard
Makes everything all right
I’m here to sow my wild seed
I don’t want much just what I need
Workin’ hard, playin’ hard
Helps me get thru each day and night
Workin’ hard, playin’ hard
Makes everything all right
I’m here to sow my wild seed
I don’t want much just what I need
Workin’ hard, playin’ hard
Helps me get thru each day and night
Workin’ hard, playin’ hard
Makes everything all right

- 6. Yank Me, Crank Me (Live)
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

- 7. Hammerdown
Lyrics
Aww go ahead, Ted
Beats in the street and I’m coming
Dead headed over the map
Highway trains keep on runnin’
Sneakin’ right through the traps…
White line
Double time
Come around with a hammerdown
Hammerdown
Hammer
Last night saw me in Detroit
Home town boy lookin’ good
Ride like we stink in the daylight
Play rock and roll like I should
White line
Double time
Come around with a hammer, hammer, hammer hammerdown
Hammerdown
Hammerdown
Hammerdown
Hammer
Thousand gigs in Chicago
Never played Delaware
There are places where I’ll go
I fly by night, love affair
White line
Double time
Come around with a hammer, hammer, hammer hammerdown
Hammerdown
Hammerdown
Hammerdown
Hammer
Last night saw me in Detroit
Home town boy lookin’ good
Ride like we stink in the daylight
Play rock and roll like I should
White line
Double time
Comin’ ’round with a hammer, hammer, hammer hammerdown
Hammerdown
Hammerdown
Hammerdown
Hammer
Hammerdown
Hammerdown
Hammerdown
Hammer

- 8. Need You Bad
Lyrics
Musta been the way that you touched me
Coulda been the way that you looked
Musta been the way that you loved me
Coulda been the way that you shook
But I need you, need you bad yes I need you, need you bad
I’m in pain when your not around me
I’m in pain when I’m not around you and I need you, need you bad
Musta been a true desperation
Couldn’t put a feeling aside
Maybe I was just getting horny
It’s a feelin that I just cant hide

- 9. Scream Dream
You see it all in New York, all over in Chicago
Wait till you see Detroit, when you’re going to a go go
Looking for the violence, waiting for her mother
Sanity is past tense, I think I saw the brave boy
Scream dream
Scream dream
Scream dream
Scream dream
Our fantasies at midnight, with visions of a street rat
A yellow star daiquiri, splitting with a barber
Scream dream
Scream dream
Scream dream
Scream dream
Oh don’t you see, I’m just cruising down the streets of the city
What I see ain’t very pretty
I’m trying to sleep at night
But I think I’m in a cold sweat
And I gotta gotta scream loud
Scream dream
Scream dream
Scream dream
Scream dream
Scream dream
Scream dream
Scream dream
Scream dream
Scream dream
Scream dream
Scream dream
Scream dream
