1. _ Summer ( The First Time )
It was a hot afternoon
The last day of june,
And the sun was a demon.
The clouds were afraid.
One ten in the shade,
And the pavement was steamin'.
I told billy ray
In his red chevrolet
I needed time for some thinkin'.
He was just passing by
When i caught that boy's eye,
And i swore it was winkin'.
I was thirty-one,
He was seventeen.
He knew nothing about love.
I knew everything.
But he sat right down
On the front porch swing,
And i wondered what the
Coming night would bring.
Sun closed my eyes,
Climbed to the skies.
It was starting to swelter.
The sweat trickled down
The front of my gown.
I thought it would melt me.
I threw back my hair
Like he wasn't there
And i sipped, oooh, something coolin'.
My shoulders bare,
He tried not to stare,
Whoa, but i knew i wasn't foolin'.
I looked deep into those eyes of blue,
I said, "boy, i know you're young,
Don't know what to say or do.
But stay with me 'til the sun goes away
And i will chase the boy in you away!"
Guess you know why
That kid caught my eyes,
Oooh, and why the memory still lingers.
Go back in my mind
To the very first time,
Ooh-ooh-ooh, i felt the touch of somebody's fingers.
I go back in my mind
To the very first time
Oh, i felt the touch of somebody's fingers.
And go, go back in my mind
To the very first time i felt . . .
I go back in my mind
To the very first time
I felt the touch
Of somebody's fingers.
The first time.
The first time.

2. _ Fire Down Below
Here comes the rose, looking mighty fine.
Here comes ol' nancy, walking right in time.
Here comes the stripper, bringing on the night.
Here come the boys, faces hidden from the light.
Walk through the shadows.
Well, they come and they go.
Only one thing on their mind:
Fire down below.
Whoa, here come the rich man in his big, long limousine.
Here come the poor man, all you got to have is green.
Here come the banker, lawyer and the cop.
One thing's for certain, it's never gonna stop.
When it all gets too heavy
They come and they go. there they go.
One thing on their mi-mi-mi-mind:
Fire down below.
Whoa, there they go.
One thing on their mi-mi-mi-mi-mind:
Fire down below.
It happens out in vegas, moline,
On the blue-blood streets of boston,
In berkley, out in queens.
Went on yesterday, it's going on tonight.
Somewhere there's somebody
Treatin' somebody right.
I'm lookin' at the rose.
I'm lookin' mighty fine.
I walk the streets,
I'll find you any time.
Where the street lights flicker,
Bringing on the night,
I'll be slipping into darkness;
Slippin' out of sight.
Oh, through the midnight
I come! i go!
Only one thing on my my mind:
Fire down below.
One thing on my my my mind:
Fire down below.
Fire, fire, fire, hoo, hoo, hoo.
One thing on my my mind:
Fire down below.

3. _ My Mother's Eyes
"i think i'll sing you a little ballad. it's a new one. i just learnt it. oh, i hope you like it."
Got my mother's eyes and my father's hair.
Does anybody really care?
It's gettin' cold out here.
Well, i keep walkin' with my head held high,
With my head to the sky,
With my mother's eyes.
And my mother's eyes are with me
In the darkness that's been paid for.
I'm just a nameless stranger, don't know why.
Have i seen all that i could?
Have i seen more than i should
With my mother's eyes?
And my mother's eyes are with me
In the chilly winds of autumn.
If i ain't here by winter, she'll know why.
I've seen all that i dare.
I've seen more than my share.
Forgive me if i stare with my mother's eyes.

4. _ Paradise
There is a land i know
Where lovers go and flowers grow
Forever more;
Where time is standing still
And lovers fill the quiet places
By the shore.
We will cross a rainbow
To a place where we'll be free,
And he'll give his love to me.
So i wait for the day
When he takes me away to
Paradise.
He'll take me by my hand.
We'll walk across the sand.
It's never-never land.
Whoa-oo, whoa-oo, whoa.
We'll build a castle there
Where we can share the happiness
We've waited for.
Where white flamingos fly
A-way up high and play above
The ocean floor.
We will climb a mountain
To see our wonderland.
Maybe know you'll understand
Why i wait for the day
When he takes me away to
Paradise.
He'll take me by my hand.
We'll walk across the sand.
A never-never land.
Whoa-oo, whoa-oo, whoa.
I'll stand by him,
Do right by him
And i swear that i would die for him.
Ohh, die for him.
Paradise.
He'll take me by my hand.
We'll walk across the sand.
It's never-never land.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll stand by him,
Do right by him.
Oh, yeah. oh-oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
I'm gonna stand, i'm gonna stand by him.
Gonna do right, gonna do right by him.
Oh-oh, oh-oh, yeaeaeaeaheah.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah . . .

5. _ E Street Shuffle
It's ninety-three degrees,
And the radio says a storm front's movin' in.
Sure is hot.
There's a double feature down at the fox,
But everybody's seen it twice.
And, besides, the air conditioner's broke.
The old lady who runs the ice cream store
Got robbed last week.
She put a lock on the door,
And a bell on the lock.
Now she doesn't answer the door,
'cause she takes that good long look at you,
And you look too tough.
The air is hot and heavy and wet,
And you just can't get high.
That's when sparks fly on e street.
And the little girls walking lookin' so hot,
And the little boys' souls grow weak
When the girls give them a double shot.
School boy pops pull out the stops on a friday night.
And those teenage tramps in skin-tight pants
Do the e street dance,
But in their heart and soul they know it's all right.
Just like those kids down there,
Ooh, hooked up in a scuffle.
Dressed in snake skin suits;
Packed with detroit muscle;
Doin' the e street shuffle.
Ooh, the shuffle.
Doin' the e street shuffle.
Ooh, the shuffle.

6. _ I Shall Be Released
They say everything can be replaced.
That every distance is not near.
So i remember every face
Of every man who put me here.
They say every woman needs protection,
Then they turn around and tell you
Every woman's got to fall.
I swear i see my own reflection
Somewhere far beyond this wall.
I see my life come shining
From the west down to the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.
Now yonder stands
There in that lonely crowd,
A man who swears he is not to blame, no, no.
And if you ask him has he ever seen this lonely woman,
He'll tell you, "no, no, no."
What's more, he does not know my name!
But i see my light come shining,
Shining, shining, shining from the west
Straight on down to the east.
Ah-anyday now, any, any old day now,
I am going to, i am going to be released, yeah!
They tell ya, tell ya every woman,
They tell ya every woman
Got to have protection,
Then they turn around and tell ya,
"no! we gonna make that-a woman fall!"
Oh, god, i swear! i swear i see,
I see my, my very own reflection
Far and away beyond, way, way beyond
These four walls!
That's right! i see, i see my life, my life,
My life is shining, shining, shining,
Shining, shining, shining, shining
From the west straight on down to the east.
And any day now, do you hear me?
Any day now, i shall be,
I am going to be released!
Any day now, any day now, any day now,
Any, any day now, oh, any day now,
Any day, any day, any day,
Any day, any day, any day,
Woah, any day, any day, any old day now,
Yeah, any day now
I am going to, i shall be released!
Woah, any day now, i shall see again!
Any day now, i shall be free again!
Any day now, they'll let me be again!
Oh, any day now, any day now, any day now,
Whoa, help me, any day, any day,
Any old day now . . .

8. _ Leader Of The Pack
"hey, betty? is that jimmy's ring you're wearing?"
"uh huh."
"oh! must be nice riding on that motorcycle after school, huh?"
"uh huh."
"is he picking you up after school today?"
"unh uh!"
"well, where'd ya meet him?"
I met him at the candy store.
He turned around and smiled at me.
Ya get the picture? (yes, we see)
That's when i fell for the leader of the pack.
My folks were always puttin' him down.
Down! down!
They said he came from the wrong side of town.
They told me that he was bad,
But i knew that he was sad.
And thats why i fell for the leader of the pack.
One day my dad said, "find someone new."
New! new!
I had to tell my jimmy that,
Whoa, we were through.
He stood up and then he asked me why.
But all i could do was cry.
I'm sorry i hurt you,
The leader of the pack.
He sort of smiled and he kissed me goodbye.
The tears were beginning to show.
And as he drove away from me
On that rainy, rainy night,
I begged him to go slow.
But whether he heard me
I'll never, never, never, never know!
Look out now, now, look out!
Whoa oh no no no! whoa no no no! no! no!
I felt so helpless! what could i do-wo-wo-wo-wo?
The only, only love that we had was through.
At school they all stop and stare.
I can't hide the tears.
I just don't care!
I will never forget you,
The leader of the pack!
Whoa-oo-woh! gone gone gone!
Gone gone gone!
The leader of the pack is,
Now he's gone!
The leader of the pack is,
Now he's gone!
The leader of the pack is, whoa gone!
Gone gone gone!
Gone gone gone!
Gone gone gone!

9. _ Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy
He was a famous trumpet man from out chicago way.
He had a boogie style that no one else could play.
He was the top man at his craft,
But then his number came up and he was gone with the draft.
He's in the army now. he's blowin' reveille.
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company b.
They made him blow a bugle for his uncle sam.
It really brought him down because he could not jam.
The captain seemed to understand,
Because the next day the cap' went out and drafted the band.
And now the company jumps when he plays reveille.
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company b.
A root, a toot, a toodlie-a-da-toot.
He blows it eight to the bar in boogie rhythm.
He can't blow a note unless a bass and guitar
Is playin' with him.
And the company jumps when he plays reveille.
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company b.
He was some boogie woogie bugle boy of company b.
And when he played his boogie woogie bugle
He was busy as a busy bee.
And when he played he made the company jump eight to the bar.
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company b.
Andata toodliata-toodliata toot toot
He blows it eight to the bar.
He can't blow a note if a bass and guitar
Isn't with him.
And the company jumps when he plays reveille.
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company b.
He puts the boys to sleep with boogie every night,
And wakes 'em up the same way in the early bright.
They clap their hands and stamp their feet,
'cause they know how it goes when someone gives him a beat.
Woah, woah, he wakes 'em up when he plays reveille.
The boogie woogie bugle boy of company b.
A root, a toot, a toodli-a-da to toot toot toot
He's blowin' eight to the bar.
Yeah, he can't blow a note if a bass and guitar
Isn't, woah, with him.
And the company jumps when he plays reveille.
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company b

Oh! stay, stay with me, baby.

11. _ You Can't Always Get What You Want
I saw her today at the reception.
She had a glass of wine in her hand.
She said, "well, now i have to go meet my connection."
At her feet was a footloose man.
I heard her say,
"you can't always get what you want.
You can't always get what you want.
You can't always get what you want,
But if you try sometimes, you just may find,
Surely you will find you get what you need.
Oh, don't you find that you will get what you need?"

Well, i'm leavin' my family, leavin' all my friends.
My body's at home, but my heart's in the wind
Where the clouds are like headlines upon a new front page sky.
My tears are salt water. the moon's full and high.
And i know martin egan is gonna be proud of me.
Many before me been called by the sea
To be up in the crows nest singin' my saying:
Shiver me timbers. sailing away.
And the fog's liftin, the sand's shifting, i'm drifting on out.
Old captain ahab's got nothin' on me.
Swallow me, don't follow me. i travel alone.
The water's my daughter. i shall skip like a stone.
And the fog's lifting, the sand's shifting, i'm drifting on out.
Old captain ahab longs to hear me shout.
Swallow me, don't follow me. i travel alone.
The water, she's my daughter. i'll skip like a stone.
Won't you please call my old man. tell him not to cry.
My goodbyes are written by the moon in the sky.
Say, nobody knows me. can't further my stay.
Shiver me timbers. i'm sailing away.

13. _ Big Noise From Winnetka
This is the story of a young girl who was the einstein of the dance.
They called her big noise from winnetka, against her no one stood a chance.
Big noise blew in from winnetka, stole each fellow's heart and then,
Big noise blew in from winnetka, big noise blew right out again.
Boys were sighing, their girlfriends crying, hearts were pounding when;
The big noise dances, hence romances, it's just astounding when;
Big noise blew in from winnetka, big noise blew right out again.
Stop! look! listen! listen to the big noise.
Stop! look! listen! listen to the big noise.
I am the one they call the big noise. i got to dance my way to fame.
I just blew in from winnetka, that town will never be the same.
Now i had my fun, and yet there's just one who's got me from the start.
I'd love to conga a little bit longer but it keeps us apart.
Exit big noise from winnetka, enter big noise in his heart.
Big men move me out. senors zonk me out.
Zim zom zup ma ma. big men boo bop ba, bah ba doo wop.
Boodeeah baby boodeeah baby boodeeah baby.
Boodeeah baby boodeeah baby boodeeah baby baby baby over 'n' out.
She loves the bass. she loves the drum.
She loves to stay out late and dance the samba, samba, how she loves to samba,
Rhumba, salsa, limbo and pachenga.
She's so restless she's on every guest list.
None can please her. she'd say no to ceaser.
Teach me, why don't you teach me. show me how to let go!
There she goes 'round again, up and then down again, in and then out. hooo!
When big noise waltzes through the door the bouncer has to clear the floor,
'cause everybody wants to see the girl get down, the girl get down.
And if you try to hold me tight, i'll disappear into the night.
My lover's waiting home for me (she don't do that! she don't do that!)
Everyone's got a bit of big noise in his heart,
Everyone likes to toot his horn.
I've been the big noise from winnetka for so long,
Time for a new noise to be born.
'cause i had my fun and et there's just one who's got me from the start.
Exit big noise for winnetka, enter big noise in my heart.
Onc she was pickin' up the big boys . . .
Now i'm pickin' up my little kids' toys . . .
Big noise we miss you.
