unknown

E a
Everything is wrong since me and my baby parted
All day long i'm walkin' 'cause i couldn't get my car started
Laid off from job and i can't afford to check it
I wish somebody'd come along and run in to it and wreck it

E a e
Come on, since my baby parted, come on
E a e
I can't get started, come on
E a
I can't afford to check it
E a
I wish somebody'd come along and run into it and wreck it

E a
Everything is wrong since i been without you
Every night i lay awake thinkin' about you
Everytime the phone rings sounds like thunder
Some stupid jerk tryin' to reach another number

Come on, since i been without you, come on
Steady thinkin' 'bout you, come on
Phone sounds like thunder
Some stupid jerk tryin' to reach another number

Solo

Everything is wrong since i last saw you baby
I really want to see you and i don't mean maybe
I'm doin' everything tryin' to make you see
That i belong to you honey and you belong to me

E a e
So come on, i wanna see you baby, come on
E a e
I don't mean maybe, come on
E a e a
I'm tryin' to make you see that i belong to you and you belong to me
E
Come on

Havana moon, havana moon
Me all alone with jug of rum
Me stand and wait for boat to come
It's long the night, it's quiet the dock
The boat she late since 12 o'clock
Me watch the tide easin' in
Is low the moon, but high the wind

Havana moon, havana moon
Me all alone, me open the rum
It's long the wait for boat to come
American girl come back to me
We'll sail away across the sea
We'll dock in new york, the buildings high
We'll find a home up in the sky

Havana moon, havana moon
Me still alone, me sip on the rum
Me wonder where the boat she come
To bring me love, ow! sweet little thing
She rock and roll, she dance and sing
She hold me tight, she touch me lips
Me eyes they close, me heart she flip

Havana moon, havana moon
But still alone, me drinkin' the rum
Begin to think the boat no come
American girl, she tell a lie
She say till then, she mean goodbye

Havana moon, havana moon
Me lay down alone, was good the rum
Me fall asleep, the boat she come
The girl she look till come the dawn
She weep and cry, "return for home"
The whistle blow, me open me eyes
Was bright the sun, was blue the sky
Me grab me shoes, me jump and run
Me see the boat head for horizon
Havana moon, is gone the rum
The boat she sail, me love she gone
Havana moon, havana moon

I'm gonna give you thirty days to get back home
I done talked to the gypsey woman on the telephone
She gonna send out a world wide hoodoo
That'll be the very thing that'll suit ya
I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days
Oh thirty days (thirty days!)
Oh thirty days (thirty days!)
I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days
Gonna send out a world wide hoodoo
That'll be the very thing that'll suit ya
I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days.

I done talked to the judge in private early this morning
And he took me to the sheriff's office to sign a warning (warrant?)
Gonna put a false charge again ya (against ya)
That'll be the very thing that'll send ya
I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days
Oh thirty days (thirty days)

Baby i'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days
Gonna put a false charge again ya

I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days

If i don't get no satisfaction from the judge
I'm gonna take it to the fbi and voice my grudge
If they don't give me no consolation
I'm gonna take it to the united nations
I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days
Oh thirty days! (thirty days)
Oh thirty days! (thirty days)
Babe i'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days
You don't give me no consolation
I'm gonna take it to the united nations
I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days!

Just let me hear some of that
Rock and roll music,
Any old way you choose it;
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it,
Any old time you use it.
It's gotta be rock and roll music,
If you want to dance with me,
If you want to dance with me.

I've got no kick againt modern jazz,
Unless they try to play it too darn fast;
And change the beauty of the melody,
Until they sounded like a symphony,
That's why i go for that
Rock and roll music ...

I took my loved one over cross the tracks
So she can hear my man await a sax,
I must admit the have a rockin' band,
Man they were going like a hurricane
That's why i go for that
Rock and roll music .....

Way down south they gave a jubilee,
The jockey folks they had a jamboree,
They're drinkin' homebrew from a water cup,
The folks dancin' they all got shook up
And started playin' that
Rock and roll music ....

Don't care to hear 'em play a tango,
I'm in the mood to dig a mambo;
It's way to early for a congo,
So keep a rockin' that piano
So i can hear some of that
Rock and roll music ...

Deep down louisiana close to new orleans,
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens...
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood,
Where lived a country boy name of johnny b. goode...
Who never ever learned to read or write so well,
But he could play the guitar like ringing a bell.

Go go
Go johnny go
Go go
Johnny b. goode

He use to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the trees by the railroad track.
Oh, the engineers used to see him sitting in the shade Strumming to the rhythm that the drivers made.
People passing by would stop and say
Oh my that little country boy could play

His mama told him someday he would be a man,
And he would be the leader of a big old band.
Many people coming from miles around
To hear him play his music when the sun go down
Maybe someday your name would be in lights
Saying johnny b. goode tonight.

Beautiful delilah, sweet as apple pie
Always gets a second look from fellas passin' by
Every time you see her she's with a different guy
Beautiful delilah, that's the reason why

Chorus:
The better don't allow me fool around with you
You are so tantalizing you just can't be true

Beautiful delilah, dressed in the latest style
Swingin' like a pendulum, walkin' down the aisle
Deep romantic eyes, speak so low in miles
Maybe she will settle down and marry after a while

(chorus)

(instrumental)

Beautiful delilah, bathin' in the sun
An audience of 17, and notice not a one
Local casanova who wouldn't be outdone
Let her steal his heart away, break it just for fun

(chorus)

Runnin' to-and-fro - hard workin' at the mill.
Never fail in the mail - yeah, come a rotten bill!
Too much monkey business. too much monkey business.
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in!

Salesman talkin' to me - tryin' to run me up a creek.
Says you can buy now, gone try - you can pay me next week, ahh!
Too much monkey business. too much monkey business.
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in!

Blond have good looks - tryin' to get me hooked.
Want me to marry - get a home - settle down - write a book!
Too much monkey business. too much monkey business.
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in!

Same thing every day - gettin' up, goin' to school.
No need for me to complain - my objection's overruled, ahh!
Too much monkey business. too much monkey business.
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in!

Take home - something wrong - dime gone - will hold
Order suit - hoppered up for telling me a tale - ahh!
Too much monkey business. too much monkey business.
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in!

Been to yokohama - been fightin' in the war.
Army bunk - army chow - army clothes - army car, aah!
Too much monkey business. too much monkey business.
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in!

Workin' in the fillin' station - too many tasks.
Wipe the windows - check the tires - check the oil - dollar gas!
Too much monkey business. too much monkey business.
Don't want your botheration, get away, leave me!

Too much monkey business for me!!

Up in the mornin' and out to school
The teacher is teachin' the golden rule
American history and practical math
You studyin' hard and hopin' to pass
Workin' your fingers right down to the bone
And the guy behind you won't leave you alone

Ring, ring goes the bell
The cook in the lunch room's ready to sell
You're lucky if you can find a seat
You're fortunate if you have time to eat
Back in the classroom, open your books
Keep up the teacher don't know how mean she looks

Soon as three o'clock rolls around
You finally lay your burden down
Close up your books, get out of your seat
Down the halls and into the street
Up to the corner and 'round the bend
Right to the juke joint, you go in

Drop the coin right into the slot
You're gotta hear somethin' that's really hot
With the one you love, you're makin' romance
All day long you been wantin' to dance,
Feeling the music from head to toe
Round and round and round we go

Hail, hail rock and roll
Deliver me from the days of old
Long live rock and roll
The beat of the drums, loud and bold
Rock, rock, rock and roll
The feelin' is there, body and soul.

Yeah 'n' i'm doin' all right in school.
They ain't said i broke no rule.
I ain't never been in dutch.
I don't browse around too much

Don't bother me, leave me alone
Anyway i'm almost grown

I don't run around with no mob.
Got myself a little job
I'm gonna buy me a little car,
Drive my girl in the park

Got my eye on a little girl.
Ah, she's really out of this world.
When i take her to the dance,
She's got to talk about romance.

You know i'm still livin' in town.
But i done married and settled down.
Now i really have a ball
So i don't browse around at all

I wanna be your driver, i wanna be your driver
I would love to ride you, i would love to ride you around
We'll be ready when you want me to drive you on downtown

Yeah i wanna drive your, your long and beautiful
Your rounded-body, wheel-to-roll limousine
I've never had the thrill of riding such a wonderful machine

(instrumental)

We'll roll 'round the mountain, drive down in the valley
I would drive it all over, i would ride you home with ease
You will enjoy every journey, it will be my aim to please

So let me be your driver, let me be your driver
I would love to ride you, i would love to ride you downtown
Drive you so slow and easy you won't wanna put me down

She'd 9 years old and sweet as she can be
All dressed up like a downtown christmas tree
Dancin' and hummin' a rock-roll melody

She's the daughter of a well-respected man
Who taught her how to judge and understand
Since she became a rock-roll music fan

Sweet little rock and roller, sweet little rock and roller
Her daddy don't have to scold her, her mother can't hardly hold her
She never gets any older, sweet little rock and roller

(instrumental)

Should've seen her eyes when the band began to play
And the famous singers sang and barred away
When the stars performed, she screamed and yelled "hooray!"

Ten thousand eyes were watching them leave the floor
Five thousand tongues were screaming "more! more!"
About 1500 waitin' outside the door

(repeat and fade):
Sweet little rock and roller
