Lady Luck (Brian Setzer, 1993) 
Two hands reach for twelve at midnight
Clouds of smoke fill up the room
All the boys snap to attention
When Lady Luck walks into the room
She's got diamonds on her fingers
And she smells like fine perfume
Everyone drops what they're doin'
When Lady Luck walks into the room
I can't rub two dimes together
I'm so broke that it's a shame
Though we're two birds of a feather
Lady Luck don't even know my name
Bartender pour her a double
The band just played her favorite tune
And the party's just beginning
When Lady Luck walks into the room
I can't rub two dimes together
I'm so broke that it's a shame
Though we're two birds of a feather
Lady Luck don't even know my name
Bartender pour her a double
The band just played her favorite tune
And the party's just beginning
When Lady Luck walks into the room
When Lady Luck walks into the room
When Lady Luck walks into the room
She's got a fourteen carat four-leaf clover
She's got a mink rabbit's foot
When Lady Luck walks into the room. 
Ball and Chain (Brian Setzer, 1993)
Never call when you're out late
I don't know when you're comin' home
Change your mind just like the weather
And I don't know if I'm ever gonna
Break this ball and chain
And to you our love is just a little game
Now there's a fine line between pleasure and pain
You love me like a ball and chain
When I called up information
Tryin' to pinpoint a location
When I find out unexpected
That your nunber's disconnected
Oh I got to break this ball and chain
And to you our love is just a little game
Now there's a fine line between pleasure and pain
You love me like a ball and chain
I spent all my money On a big shiny car
I spent all my time In the back of a bar
Drivin down the highway But I never get far
Keepin up with you baby's like chasin a star
Never call when you're out late
I don't know when you're comin' home
Change your mind just like the weather
And I don't know if I'm ever gonna
Break this ball and chain
And to you our love is just a little game
Now there's a fine line between pleasure and pain
You love me like a ball and chain
There's a fine line between pleasure and pain
love me like a ball and chain
There's a fine line between pleasure and pain
love me like a ball and chain. 
Sittin on it all the time (Sydney Mann/Henry Bernard, 1950) 
Old maid old maid stop acting like a baby child
Old maid old maid stop acting like a baby child
You waited til you got 63
Before you started runnin wild
Oh, I'm lookin for a gal She's got to be young and neat
Yeah, I'm lookin for a gal She's got to be young and neat
What good is a stove if it don't put out no heat
Well you had your chance for love and romance
but you let it pass you by 'Cause when
you were 10 you used to run from men
Kept on sittin on it all the time
When you was 15 you was a natural queen
Kept on sittin on it all the time
When you were 22 you didn't know what to do
When you was 25 you thought about that jive
Kept on sittin on it all the time
Kept on sittin on it all the time
When you was 31 you was hot as the sun,
you kept on sittin on it all the time
When you were 35 you were glad to be alive
When you were it still wasn't too late
Kept on sittin on it all the time
Kept on sittin on it all the time
When you were 44 men were still knockin on your door
Kept on sittin on it all the time
When you were 49 you changed your mind
When you were 52 you still knew what to do
Kept on sittin on it all the time
Kept on sittin on it all the time
Now you're 63 you're too old for me,
so keep on sittin on it all the time.

September Skies
Written by Brian Setzer/William Carter/Christine Schmidt/Ruth Ellsworth, 1993 
Funny how that memory never dies
And when that first leaf falls
Days turn cold, nights grow long
Like an old Sinatra song
And every year right about this time
I wind up here wishing that winds of fate
would bring you back to me
beneath September Skies
I should've known better
than to count on the weather
summer's long gone, still holdin' on
A fool pretendin' that love's never ending
With the first sign of fall, I still recall
September Skies
The autumn melody clouds my eyes
And I'll never see, why you're gone
And I dream all alone
Beneath Setember Skies
I should've known better
than to count on the weather
summer's long gone, still holdin' on
A fool pretendin' that love's never ending
With the first sign of fall, I still recall
September Skies
The autumn melody clouds my eyes
And I'll never see, why you're gone
And I dream all alone
Beneath Setember Skies. 
Brand New Cadillac
Written by Vince Taylor, 1959 
My baby drove up in a Brand new Cadillac
I said my baby drove up in a Brand new Cadillac
She said listen to me daddy, I ain't never comin' back
Baby baby won't you hear my plea
C'mon sugar just hear my plea
She said balls to ya daddy
She ain't comin back to me
Baby baby won't you hear my plea
C'mon sugar just hear my plea
She said balls to ya daddy
She ain't comin back to me
A Cadillac pulled up about ninety-five
I said a Cadillac pulled up about ninety-five
I said get a grip baby you won't take me out alive
My baby drove up in a Brand new Cadillac
I said jesus baby where'd you get the Cadillac
She said balls to ya daddy
I ain't never comin' back I ain't never comin' back x 4. 
There's a rainbow round my shoulder
Written by Dave Dreyer/Al Jolson/Billy Rose 
There's a rainbow round my shoulder
And a sky of blue above
How the sun shines bright
The world's all right
Cause I'm in love
There's a rainbow round my shoulder
And it fits me like a glove
Let it blow let it storm, I'll be warm
Cause I'm in love Hallelujah,
how the folks will stare
When they see that solitare
That my little baby is gonna wear
There's a rainbow round my shoulder
And a sky of blue above
And I'm shoutin so the world will know that
I'm in love
Hallelujah, how the folks gonna stare
When they see that diamond solitare
That my own true baby's gonna wear
There's a rainbow round my shoulder
And a sky of blue above
And I'm shoutin so the world will know
I'm in love, I'm in love
There's a rainbow round my shoulder
And I'm in love.

A nightingale sang in Berkely Square
Written by Eric Maschwitz/Manning Sherwin, 1940 
That certain night
The night we met
There was magic abroad in the air
There were angels dining at the Ritz
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
I may be right I may be wrong
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
The moon that lingered over London town
Poor puzzled moon he wore a frown
How could he know we two were so in love
The whole damned world seemed upside down
The streets of town were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kissed and said goodnight
A nightingale sang in Berekeley Square
How strange it was How sweet and strange
There was never a dream to compare
To those hazy crazy nights we met
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
Ah this heart of mine Loud and fast
Like a merry-go-round in a fair
We would dance cheek to cheek
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
The dawn came staeling up
All gold and blue
To interrupt our rendez-vous
I still remember how you smiled and said
Was that a dream or was it true?
Our homeward step was just as light
As the dancing feet of Astaire
And like an echo far away
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
That night in Berkeley Square.

Drink that bottle down (Setzer/Phantom/Rocker) 
What's a man supposed to do
When the blues have got him down
What's he gonna do
When the blues have got him down
You go down to the liquor store
And you drink your bottle down
Where you gonna run to Or are you gonna hide
Where you gonna run to
With those blues right down inside
You got no place left to go
You go down to the liquor store
And you drink your bottle down
Where you gonna run to
Are you gonna hide
Where you gonna run to
With those blues right down inside
You got no place left to go
You go down to the liquor store
And you drink your bottle down.

(B. Setzer) 1998 
This cat's on a hot tin roof
Drinkin' that whiskey, 96 proof
Don't need no doctor, don't feel no pain
My legs are just two steps ahead of my brain
This cat's on a hot tin roof
This cat's gonna shake it loose
This cat don't get the blues'
Cause this cat's shakin' on a hot tin roof
This cat's been out on the town
I'm the cat's meow, I'm the king with a crown
My head is spinnin' and I got the shakes
I can't stop now 'cause I got no brakes
This cat's on a hot tin roof
This cat's gonna shake it loose
This cat don't get the blues'
Cause this cat's shakin' on a hot tin roof
There ain't no point in holdin' me down
I'll kick and I'll scratch and I'll howl
Hey hound dog, get outta my way'
Cause this cat is on the prowl
This cat's on a hot tin roof
Jumpin' up and down like a long neck goose
Shimmy and shake, baby you can't fail
Rockin' so hard that it's off the scale
This cat's on a hot tin roof
This cat's gonna shake it loose
This cat don't get the blues'
Cause this cat's shakin' on a hot tin roof


The Dirty Boogie
(B.Setzer) 1998 
I got a little boogie but it ain't too clean
It's real low down and it's kinda mean
The dirty boogie

When I get low down, 
it's the dirty boogie for me
The dirty boogieWhat's it called? 
The dirty boogieHey you all
The dirty boogie
How's it go?
The dirty boogie
Not too slow
When I get low down,

They're shakin' their hips and scream and shout
And doin' things I can't even talk about
The dirty boogie (Get my drift?)
The dirty boogie
When I get low down, 
it's the dirty boogie for me
The dirty boogie
What's it called? 
The dirty boogie
Hey you all
The dirty boogie
How's it go? 
The dirty boogie

When I get low down, 
it's the dirty boogie for me


This Old House
(S. Hamblen) 1954 
This old house once knew its children
This old house once knew its wife
This old house was home and comfort
As they fought the storms of life
This old house once rang with laughter
This old house heard many shouts
Now it trembles in the darkness
When the lightning walks about
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
Ain't gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window pain
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
He's getting ready to meet the saints
This old house is gettin' shaky
This old house is gettin' old
This old house has seen the rain
This old house has seen the cold
Oh his knees are gettin' chilly
But he feels no fear or pain'
Cause he sees an angel peepin'
Through a broken window pane
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
Ain't gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window painAin't
gonna need this house no longer
He's getting ready to meet the saints
This old house is gettin' shaky
This old house is gettin' old
This old house has seen the rain
This old house has seen the cold
Oh his knees are gettin' chilly
But he feels no fear or pain'
Cause he sees an angel peepin'
Through a broken window pane
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
Ain't gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window painAin't
gonna need this house no longer
He's getting ready to meet the saints (repeat) 

Let's Live It Up
(B.Setzer) 1998 
You only go around once on this big spinnin'
planet of love
So don't be wastin' my time
Tell me what you're dreamin' of
We'll take a rocket to the moon and
when we get that far
I'll hang your coat and
hat upon a shooting star
Let's live it up! 
Let's live it up! 
Let's live it up! 
Hang up the cat and
put the dog out to dry
Roll up the bird, let
the alligator wave bye-bye
We'll take a sloe gin to China, 
a train to Peru
In a rusty old steamer or a leaky canoe
Let's live it up! 
Let's live it up! 
Let's live it up! 
Around the block in a hot balloon
sounds awfully good to me
Or a seat on the wing of a jumbo
jet flying straight to Mercury
What's the matter with me? 
Baby I've been such a fool
We'll hop on a raft and
navigate around in the pool
We'll take a rocket to the moon and
when we get that far
I'll hang your coat and
hat upon a shooting star
Let's live it up! 
Let's live it up! 
Let's live it up! 
What's the matter with me? 
Baby I've been such a fool
We'll hop on a raft and
navigate around in the pool
We'll take a rocket to the moon and
when we get that far
I'll hang your coat and
hat upon a shooting star
Let's live it up! 
Let's live it up! 
Let's live it up!

Sience I Don't Have You
(J.Rock, W.Lester, J. Beaumont, J. Verscharen, J. Vogel) 1958 
I don't have plans and schemes
And I don't have hopes and dreams
Baby, I just don't have anything
Since I don't have you
I don't have fond desires
And I don't have happy hours
Baby, I just don't have anything, 
anythingSince I don't have you, 
I don't have you don't have happiness
And I guess I never will ever again
When you walked out on me
In walked old misery
And he's been here since then
I don't have love to share
And I don't have one who cares
Baby, I just don't have anything
Since I don't have you, 
I don't have you
I don't have happiness
And I guess I never will ever again
When you walked out on me
In walked old misery
And he's been here since then
I don't have love to share
And I don't have one who cares
Baby, I just don't have anything
Since I don't have you 

Switchblade 327
(B. Setzer) 1998 
Switchblade 327
Lit cigarette in his hand
Steel-toed boots on the accelerator
Oil leakin' outta the pan
Switchblade, three two-barrels
Gettin' there as fast as he can
All juiced up like a hot carburetor
Spittin' gas onto the fan
Blacktop burnout, Saturday night
Try to catch him if you can
Switchblade 327
Switchblade, seven come eleven Switchblade, 
he's all right
When he gets drunk he fights all night
Switchblade 327
Pullin' way ahead of the pack
Chop top deuce, Saturday night
Flames shootin' outta the back
Switchblade, don't cut him off
He won't cut you no slack
He'll cut you to ribbons if you come to town
He'll carve his name in your back
Blacktop burnout, Saturday night
Try to catch him if you can
Switchblade 327
Switchblade, seven come eleven
Switchblade, he's all right
When he gets drunk he fights all night Switchblade 327
Someone was calling his name
All he could hear was his engine
And the sound of the pouring down rain
Switchblade 327
Ran 125 down the lane
But someone had cut both his fuel lines
And the '32 burst into flames
Blacktop burnout, Saturday night
Try to catch him if you can
Switchblade 327
Switchblade, seven come eleven
Switchblade, he's all right
When he gets drunk he fights all night (repeat) 

Nosey Joe
(J. Leber, M. Stoller) 1952 
There's a man in town all the women know
He goes by the name of Nosey Joe
He don't care if they're married
He takes his pick
Long as they're women, 
he's ready to stickHis big nose in their business
His big nose in their business
That's Nosey Joe, the nosiest guy I know
He ain't good lookin' and he ain't big and stong
The guy's got a nose that's four foot long
I'm tellin' you women, this ain't no jive
If you get too close this man will drive
His big nose in your business
His big nose in your business
That's Nosey Joe, the nosiest guy I know
I saw him just the other day
Tried to steal my gal away
He offered her money
He offered her love She said thank you sir, 
but please don't shove
Your big nose in my business
Your big nose in my business
That's Nosey Joe, the nosiest guy I know
Old Nosey finally lost his life
Messin' with my buddy's wife
My buddy caught him with his chick
Chopped off his nose, now he can't stick
His big nose in my business
His big nose in my business
That's Nosey Joe, the nosiest guy I know


Hollywood nocturne
(B.Setzer) 1995 
There's a place where you can go
Music's hot and lights are low
But there's something you should know
Before the night is through'
Neath a buzzing neon sign
Dressed in style so cool and refined
Stands a man from another time
Who's calling out to you
There in the night that has heard a thousand voices
Whispered a thousand names
Sang out a thousand love songs
He lives his Hollywood nocturne
There's a place he'd like to go
Where it's cool and lights are low
But the shadows won't let go
They dance and call his name
As he roams the streets at night
Haunted by this devil sight
There's a man in dark red light
Who's calling out to you
There in the night that has heard a thousand voices
Whispered a thousand names
Sang out a thousand love songs
He lives his Hollywood nocturne
His Hollywood nocturne
His Hollywood nocturne


As Long As I'm Singin'
(B. Darin) 1962 
As long as I'm singin'
There's a bell up in my brain that's ringin'
Makin' a crazy ding dong
And if this band don't desert me
Then there's nothin' in the world can hurt me
As long as I'm singin' my song
Give me trumpets, legato
Put some saxes with 'em
Bones, pizzicatoGimme rhythm
As long as I'm singin'
Then the world's all right
And everything's swingin'
Long as I'm singin' my song
As long as I'm singin'
Then the world's all right
And everything's swingin'
Long as I'm singin' my
Long as I'm singin' my
Long as I'm singin' my song

Vavoom!

'49 Mercury Blues
I'm broken down
On the side of the road
Damn brakes locked up in the rain
Smoke's pourin' out
From under the hood
I'm stuck on the highway again
I'm too young to quit
Too old to change
Baby what am I gonna do?
I got the chopped top,slammed down
'49 Mercury blues

Can't find a phone
Can't hitch a ride
Who would stop for me anyway?
You would think that after all of
These cars I've owned
I would break down
And join triple A
I'm too young to quit
I'm too old to change
Baby what am I gonna do?
I got the chopped top,slammed down
'49 Mercury blues

I got the '49 Mercury blues
By now you'd think I've paid all
My dues
Just think of all the trouble
That car is puttin' me through

I guess like a tooth
That needsto get filled
It's gonna hurt
And you're gonna get drilled
And once you get it fixed
It happens all over again
I'm too young to quit
I'm too old to change
Baby what am I gonna do?
I got the chopped top,

Americano
He's drivin' a jeep
But he ain't in the Army
Gets all his cigarette money
From his mommy
Dressed like a rootin' tootin'
Texas cowboy
But this lone ranger's
Never seen a horse

He wanna be Americano
Americano, Americano
He wants to drive a Cadillac
Now he's chasing showgirls
Smokin' Camels,whiskey and soda
Now he's never goin' back

He's cruisin streets for gold
Dressed in designer clothes
Brother if your too slow
You'd better not blink
Or you'll wind up in the drink

Wanna be Americano
Americano,Americano
Gotta buy a diamond ring
'Cause that's his baby's
Favorite thing
Okay,all right,yeah man
Wanna be American
Wanna be American

He's in the land where
Anything can happen
Reach for the stars
Grab that golden ring
Just remember he's Americano
well watch it pal
'Cause he'll take everything

He wanna be Americano
Americano,Americano
He wants to drive a Cadillac
Now he's chasing showgirls
Smokin' Camels,whiskey and soda
Now he's never goin' back

He likes that rock and roll
He's playing baseball
Loves Marilyn Monroe
A coca cola Joe
And a pizza pie to go

Wanna be Americano
Americano,Americano
Gotta buy a diamond ring
'Cause thats his baby's
Favorite thing
Okay,all right,yeah man

Drive Like Lightning (Crash Like Thunder)
I'm gonna take my baby
On a little joy ride
She'll be ghost-white pale
Sittin' by my side
Shakin' like a leaf
And it ain't no wonder
Drive like lightning
Crash like thunder

I'm gonna race with the devil
Speedin' down the track
And if he beats me to the line
I ain't a-comin' back
You ain't worth nothin'
When your six feet under
Drive like lightning
Crash like thunder

Drive like lightning
Crash like thunder
Ain't worth nothin'
When your six feet under
All wrapped up
In hot chrome and steel
Drag my body
Behind the wheel

Got a pair of dice swingin'
In my Detroit casket
I got a rabbit foot hangin'
From my black leather jacket
We won't get out alive
So it ain't no wonder
Drive like lightning
Crash like thunder

Baby please try to understand
I'm just a little speck of dust
Blowin' in the sand
We won't get out alive
So why should we wonder
Drive like lightning
Crash like thunder
From Here To Eternity
I know your not that
Kind of girl
To ever lose her cool
I know you've thought about it
Over and over
Thinking that I was a fool

You know I'm not
That kind of guy
I never plan things out
You know I've thought about you
Over and over
Never a trace of doubt

I finally got that road we're on
Mapped out

We're on the road
From here to eternity
The world is ours
As far as we can see
We're hopping star to star
Through the galaxy
We're flyin' high
Let the world pass us by
From here to eternity

You know that I wanted
To see you again
If just to say hello
You know I tried to call you
Over and over
I finally think that I know,I know

I know your just
That kinda girl
You need to work things out
You know I've thought about you
Over and over
Never a trace of doubt

Well I finally got that road we're on
Mapped out

We're on the road
From here to eternity
The world is ours
As far as we can see
We're hopping star to star
Through the galaxy
We're flyin' high
Let the world pass us by
From here to eternity

Gettin' In The Mood
Jump into my rocket
'Cause I'm ready to blast
I don't know where I'm goin'
But I'm goin' there fast
Tonight there ain't no future
And there isn't a past
We'll make it like the first time
So it won't be the last
All I wanna do
Is everything that you ask
Don't you know
I'm really getting in the mood

Got the jitter fingers
And they're ready to pop
When I get to groovin'
Ain't no way I can stop
Baby when we get there
Then the joint is gonna hop
Got to ride the feelin',
Baby straight to the top
You gotta make my heart start
Beatin' flippity-flop
Baby can't you tell
I'm getting in the mood

In the mood
The joint is jumpin'
In the groove
We're onto somethin'
In the mood
The band is pumpin'
Swingin' and a swayin'
And a rock and rollin'
Come on now
We're gonna party
I know how
To get it started
In the mood
I'm good to boogie
Blow that jivin' music now

When the party's over
I just know where to go
Where after hours people
Boogie you know
I wanna hang a while
Where the lights are real low
Whisper to my baby
And be takin' it slow
And baby if you're ready
Then I'm ready to blow
Baby,now I'm really getting
In the mood

I'm in the mood
The joint is jumpin'
In the groove
We're onto somethin'
In the mood
The band is pumpin'
Swingin' and a swayin'
And a rock and rollin'
Come on now
We're gonna party
I know how
To get it started
In the mood
I'm good to boogie
Blow that jivin' music now

When the party's over
I just know where to go
Where the after hours people
Boogie you know
I wanna hang a while
Where the lights are low
And whisper to my baby
And be takin' it slow
Baby if your ready
Then I'm ready to blow

If You Can't Rock Me
If you can't rock me
I'll find somebody that can
If you can't rock me
Don't be tellin' me I'm your man
I'm gonna turn that skillet
Up to high
Don't you tell that chick's
Too young to fry
If you can't rock me
I'll find somebody who can
I'll find somebody who can

If you can't rock me
Don't be knockin'on my door
If you can't rock me
Don't you come around here no more
I'm gonna turn that juke joint
Upside down
Dance six inches
Off the ground
If you can't rock me
I'll find someone who can

Don't be whisperin' in my ear
Tellin' me things
That I wanna hear
Dontcha be tellin' I'm your guy
Then you go and leave me high and dry

If you can't rock me
I'm gonna rock this town myself
If you can't rock me
I'm gonna tear it up
With somebody else
I may have to search
All across the land
Find me a gig
With a rock n' roll band
If you can't rock me
I'll find somebody who can

Jukebox
I've been up all night just singin'
This same old song,song,song
And I can't get it
Through my head
That man she's gone,gone,gone
I'm pushin' all the buttons
But one thing is for sure
Play my song no more

I've been lovin' that little gal
Now for so long,long,long
But that jukebox never said
She'd do me wrong,
Wrong,wrong
I dropped in all my money
Now it just don't seem right
That jukebox just won't play
My song tonight

Jukebox bring my baby
Back to me
Ain't had no real good lovin'
And I'm drownin' in misery
The records keep on playin'
But my poor heart
Won't stop sayin'
Jukebox bring my baby
Baby to me

Just look at all those
Pretty lights
A shine,shine,shine
Jukebox don't you know
That girl is mine,mine,mine
I polished all your chrome
I dusted off your glass
Oh jukebox bring my baby
Home at last

Jukebox bring my baby
Back to me
Ain't had no real lovin'
And I'm drownin' in misery
The records keep on playin'
But my poor heart
Won't stop sayin'
Jukebox bring my baby
Back to me

Jumpin' East Of Java
I like coffee,I like tea
I like you baby next to me
You're as cool as red hot lava
Jumpin' East of Java

Cream and sugar,sure tastes sweet
But baby you got all that beat
Your that chick with the
Swingin' feet
Jumpin' East of Java

It takes a lot of coffee beans
Just to make a single cup
You got me perculatin'

Let's hit that place
Where the cats all meet
East of China past Bourbon street
We'll be as cool as red hot lava
Jumpin' East of Java

Man we're jumpin'
We're really jumpin'
Jumpin' East of Java

Mack the Knife
Oh,the shark babe
Has such teeth,dear
And he shows them, pearly white
Just a jackknife
Has old macheath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight

When the shark bites
With his teeth,dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves,though,wears old
Macheath,dear
So there's never a trace of red

On the sidewalk Sunday morning
Lies a body just oozing life
Someone's sneaking
'Round the corner
Could that someone be
Mack the knife?

There's a tugboat down by the river
Didn't you know
A cement bag's dropping down
Well that cement's
Just for the weight dear
Five will get you ten
Mackie's back in town

Here about Louie Miller
He disappeared,dear
After drawing out all his
Hard-earned cash
And Macheath spends
Just like a sailor
Could it be our boy
Did something rash?

Jenny Diver,Sukey Tawdry
Lawdie Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh the line forms on the right babe
Now that Mackie's back in town

The Footloose Doll
Look at that chick In the silvery dress She's got a cool tattoo And her hair is a mess And every single guy in the joint Is just watching her dance Dance ballerina,shimmy on down It's your turn to swing It's your night on the town A little gin goes a long way So please pass it around She's the footloose doll Dancin' like a hurricane She's the footloose doll I don't even know her name She's the footloose doll Now standin' at the bar Was long cool Eddie He had a few And he's not really steady But he had his peepers Fixated on the footloose doll She called out ";Hey Eddie"; He was there in an instant She said, ";You know you kinda look Like Gene Vincent"; That was all he needed to hear And that was all she wrote She's the footloose doll Dancin' like a hurricane She's the footloose doll I don't even know her name She's the footloose doll Now if your ever in town And wanna try your luck The footloose doll Can really shake you up But never underestimate The power of the feline cat They found poor Eddie By the side of the road His clothes were all torn up And his car had been towed He never had a chance with a chick Like the footloose doll She's the footloose doll Dancin' like a hurricane She's the footloose doll I don't even know her name She's the footloose doll
