[Verse 1]. One step, two step, electric slide. Red fish, blue fish, blow your mind. Engine, engine, number nine. Mama's gonna let you set the moon on fire.
(corthon). . Got lots of money. Got lots of phony friends. I can drink lots of whiskey. I can drink lots of gin. I know every guy in this town. When my money runs out.
(will birch/graeme douglas/dr feelgood). . My sugar likes to take a drink. To help her sleep and make her dream. She's on to something but now they think.
Well listen pretty baby. Let's go out tonight. Tell your mama not to worry. Everything's gonna be alright. . Don't let me hear you talking. Just be there when I call.
(rod piazza). . You was mean to me. You was so mean to me. You gonna be sorry. Oh you mistreated me. Broke my heart. The judge found never cruelty. I call it murder in the first degree.
My babe, she don't stand no cheatin', my babe. Oh no, she don't stand no cheatin', not my babe. Oh yes, she don't stand no cheatin'. She don't stand none of that midnight creepin'.
White boy in town. Big black, blue sound. Night Club, I paid in. I got a stamp on my skin.. Main attraction nearly dead on his feet. Black man rhythm with a white boy beat.
(m. morganfield). . Got my mojo working, but it just won't work on you (2 x). I wanna love you so bad till I don't know what to do. . I'm going down to louisiana to get me a mojo hand (2 x).
Hey little lady have you got a cigarette to spare. I like your high heels and the shade of your hair. All those secrets you promised not to tell. I'll monkey on you baby, you've got me in your spell.
(trad., arr. dr feelgood). . Well, I'm sittin' here wonderin'. With matchbox on my clothes. I'm sittin' here watchin'. With a matchbox on my toes. I ain't got no matches but.
White boy in town. Big black, blue sound. Night club, I paid in. I got a stamp on my skin. Main attraction dead on his feet. Black man rhythm with a white boy beat.
I go home at night about half past four. All that knocking on my door. . I got the mad man blues. I got the mad man blues. I got the mad man blues. Man don't you know, don't you know.
How could I explain. This feeling that's true. Honey I can hardly stand it. I want to make love to you. . When the stars fall from the heavens. And the rivers have stopped to flow.
You do exactly what you want to. And you answer to no one. You live exactly how you want to. For you today has just begun. . It's my life - I choose to.
How come my life ain't like this movie?. I should try to look some more like that.. And maybe then I could be a movie star,. And maybe then you'd always laugh at my jokes..
That's okay, I don't care. I can't remember what happened there. Somethin' about you said you loved me. You'd go with me anywhere. . I don't care, I don't mind.
I'm not losing my war that's in my mind. And I will spread my wings and soar. And I will fly and no, I will never deny. What's in my heart, what's in my life, will be justified.
So we try and try all of our life working. With such pride making cash just to survive. As we race and grade and judge away other folks mistakes. Makes us good to feel that way. And don't you know, it never.
There you go, again and again, baby, startin' with the things that just wouldn't end it. I don't know why we can't get along; when we first started out nothin' ever went wrong.
You're a woman - you're a child. Sometimes you're weak and then you're wild. And I just can't understand. 'cause I'm a boy who plays the part of a man, now.
