People say I'm the life of the party. Because I tell a joke or two. Although I might be laughing loud and hearty. Deep inside I'm blue. So take a good look at my face.
And it's a one more night to trash away. And if you don't get it right,. There'll never be another day. In the day we walk through broken glass. Nothing to say that the time is fading fast.
Spider John is my name, friends. I'm in between freights, and I sure would be obliged. If I could share your company.. I'm on my way to nowhere; I been runnin' from my past,.
Take me back, take me back,. Take me back to your heart,. Can't you love me again, like you did at the start?. There's a weight on my shoulders, and I know I can't win,.
Here in the hush of evenin'. On a night in June. Overhearin' conversations. Bayin' at the moon. Suddenly a voice I'm hearin's. Sweet to my ear. . This is tomorrow's callin'.
My girl Friday she no square. She like lotus blossom in her hair. Be-bop records and something new. Sometimes borrowed but she's never blue. Oh no. Not Tokyo Joe.
Got your money on the table. And the devil in your eye. Who is that woman with the crooked smile?. . You got to go with what you feel. A little loving is a dangerous thing.
I'm in with the "in" crowd. I go where the "in" crowd goes.. I'm in with the "in" crowd. And I know what the "in" crowd knows.. Any time of the year. Don't you hear?.
Tear drops on the city, Bad Scooter searching for his groove. Seem like the whole world walking pretty and you can't find the room to move. Well, everybody better move over, that's all.
Sometimes I lead sometimes I follow. This time I'll go where she wants me to go. She said maybe today maybe tomorrow. Go deep in the woods down the low valley road.
There's a village hidden deep in the valley. Among the pine trees half forlorn. And there on a sunny morning. Little Jimmy Brown was born. . (Bung, bung, bung, bung).
Oogum oogum boogum boogum. Boogum now baby. You're castin' your spell on me. I say, oogum oogum boogum boogum. Boogum now baby. You're castin' you're spell on me.
They shut down the golden hotel. Just because he says it won't be long till they blow it all to the hell. She's standing in the front yard cut off the skins.
How can you call yourself a player. When you're just half of a man. You truly feel that you're the savior. And my wish is your commend. You're driving out to the desert.
Life's like that, isn't it.. Only the other day, I was walking in the West End,. When suddenly I was set upon by hordes of fans and admirers who wanted to touch my toes..
Take me back to Tulsa, I'm too young to marry. Take me back to Tulsa, I'm too young to marry. . You see that girl with the red dress on,. Some folks call her Dinah.
Oh, Mister fiddling man, please strike up the band. And play that Texas playboy rag. There ain't no rhythm aroun' that rides right on down. Like that Texas Playboy Rag.
When the mellow moon begins to beam. Every night I dream a little dream. And of course Prince Charming is the theme. The he, for me.. Although I realize as well as you.
The Thrill Is Gone. Thrill is gone. The thrill is gone away. I know the thrill is gone. The thrill is gone away. Now you've done me wrong. You'll be sorry someday.
The moment I saw him smile. I knew he was just my style. My only regret is we've never met. Though I dream of him all the while. . But he doesn't know I exist.
