Elvis Presley - Jailhouse Rock
The warden threw a party in the county jail.
The prison band was there and they began to wail. The band was jumpin’ and the joint began to swing. You should’ve heard those knocked out jailbirds sing. Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock. Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin’ to the jailhouse rock. Spider murphy played the tenor saxophone, Little joe was blowin’ on the slide trombone. The drummer boy from illinois went crash, boom, bang, The whole rhythm section was the purple gang. Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock. Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin’ to the jailhouse rock. Number forty-seven said to number three: You’re the cutest jailbird I ever did see. I sure would be delighted with your company, Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me. Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock. Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin’ to the jailhouse rock. The sad sack was a sittin’ on a block of stone Way over in the corner weepin’ all alone. The warden said, hey, buddy, don’t you be no square. If you can’t find a partner use a wooden chair. Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock. Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin’ to the jailhouse rock. Shifty henry said to bugs, for heaven’s sake, No one’s lookin’, now’s our chance to make a break. Bugsy turned to shifty and he said, nix nix, I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks. Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock. Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin’ to the jailhouse rock. |

Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone
Judy left the same time Why was he holding her hand When he's supposed to be mine It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to Cry if I want to, cry if I want to You would cry too if it happened to you Playin' my records, keep dancin' all night Leave me alone for a while 'Till Johnny's dancin' with me I've got no reason to smile It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to Cry if I want to, cry if I want to You would cry too if it happened to you Judy and Johnny just walked through the door Like a queen with her king Oh what a birthday surprise Judy's wearin' his ring It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to Cry if I want to, cry if I want to You would cry too if it happened to you |
Frankie Valli - Oh, what a night
Oh, what a night.
Late December back in '63. What a very special time for me, 'Cause I remember what a night. Oh, what a night. You know, I didn't even know her name, But I was never gonna be the same. What a lady. What a night. Oh, I. I got a funny feeling when she walked In the room and I, As I recall it ended much too soon. Oh, what a night, Hypnotizing, mesmerizing me. She was everything I dreamed she'd be. Sweet surrender, what a night! I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder Spinnin' my head around and taking my body under. Oh, what a night! Oh, I. I got a funny feeling when she walked In the room and I, As I recall it ended much too soon. Oh, what a night. Why'd it take so long to see the light? Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right. What a lady, what a night! I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder Spinnin' my head around and taking my body under. Oh, what a night! (Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do.) Oh, what a night! (Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do.) Oh, what a night! (Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do.) Oh, what a night! (Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do.) Oh, what a night! (Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do.) Oh, what a night! (Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do.) |

Blood, Sweat and Tears - Spinning Wheel
What goes up must come down
Spinnin' wheel got to go 'round Talkin' 'bout your troubles it's a cryin' sin Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel spin You got no money and you got no home Spinnin' wheel all alone Talkin' 'bout your troubles and you never learn Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel turn Did you find the directing sign on the Straight and narrow highway Would you mind a reflecting sign Just let it shine within your mind And show you the colors that are real Someone is waiting just for you Spinnin' wheel, spinnin' true |
Mary Wells - My guy
Nothing you could say
Can tear me away from my guy Nothing you could do 'Cause I'm stuck like glue to my guy I'm stickin' to my guy Like a stamp to a letter Like the birds of a feather We stick together I'm tellin' you from the start I can't be torn apart from my guy Nothing you can do Could make me untrue to my guy Nothing you could buy Could make me tell a lie to my guy I gave my guy my word of honor To be faithful and I'm gonna You best be believing I won't be deceiving my guy As a matter of opinion I think he's tops My opinion is he's the cream of the crop As a matter of taste to be exact He's my ideal as a matter of fact No muscle bound man Could take my hand from my guy No handsome face Could ever take the place of my guy He may not be a movie star But when it comes to being happy we are There's not a man today Who could take me away from my guy No muscle bound man Could take my hand from my guy No handsome face Could ever take the place of my guy He may not be a movie star But when it comes to being happy we are There's not a man today Who could take me away from my guy There's not a man today Who could take me away from my guy (Tell me more) There's not a man today Who could take me away from my guy |
