Best of the 70's lyrics
Can The Can lyrics
(Chapman/Chinn)
Well you call your mamma tiger
And we all know you are lying
And your boyfriend's name is eagle
And he lives up in the sky (high high)
Watch out the tiger don't go claw the eagle's eye
But let the eagle take the tiger by surprise
Scratch out her eyes
So make a stand for your man, honey
Try to can the can
Put your man in the can, honey
Get him while you can
Can the can
Can the can
48 Crash lyrics
(Chapman/Chinn)
Well you got the hands of a man and the face of a little boy blue-ue
And when you stand you're so grand there's a case just for looking at you-oo oo-oo
You're so young, you could have been the devil's son
You're so young, but like a hang up I'll be sad when you're old and you're gone
Watch Out!
You know the 48 Crash come like a lightning flash (48 Crash, 48 Crash)
Dartona Demon lyrics
(Chinn/Chapman)
Ride me, ride you
We do anything we wanna do
Speed you, speed me, you're my machine
Daytona demon, Daytona demon
Daytona demon, Daytona demon
Ride up, ride down
Let your motor make me heaven bound
Hang in, hang on, turn me on
Daytona demon, Daytona demon
Daytona demon...wow
He's my Daytona demon
He's my souped up heavy hung he man
He's my D-d-daytona demon, my machine
All Shook Up lyrics
(Blackwell/Presley)
Well, bless my soul. What's wrong with me?
I'm itchin' like a man on a fuzzy tree
My friends say I'm acting queer as a bug
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
My hands are shaking and my knees are week
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet
Who do you thank when you have such luck
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Well, please don't ask me what's on my mind
Shakin' All Over lyrics
(Heath)
When you move in right up close to me
That's when I get the shakes all over me
[Chorus:]
Quivers in my back bone
I got the shakes in my thigh bone
I got the quivers in my knee bone
Shakin' all over
Just the way that you say goodnight to me
Brings the feeling out inside of me
[Chorus]
Well, you make me shake, and I like to shake
You make me shake (Can the can, honey)
[Chorus]
Devil Gate Drive lyrics
(Chapman-Chinn)
[Spoken:]
"Hey, you all want to go down to Devil Gate Drive?
Well, come on"!
"Welcome to 'The Dive'!"
Well, at the age of five they can do their jive
Down in Devil Gate Drive
And at the age of six they're gonna get their kicks
Down in Devil Gate Drive
Well your mama don't know where your sister done go
She gone down to the Drive. She's the start of the show
Too Big lyrics
(Chapman-Chinn)
Say, sugar-honey you've gotta act like me
Well, you can take a passion-lovin' panther
Make him week at the knees
You can shake him like a rattle, and roll him like a dice
But, honey, you know I'm too big to be nice
I gave away my independence to all them evil guys
And when I got too hot they put my lips on ice
Now I don't hold out with those wise-guys. I see through their disguise
Keep A Knockin' lyrics
(Penniman)
[Spoken:]
"This song is dedicated to all you 16 year-old girls out there.
You know when all those boys come around asking you all for a date
You just got to sit back and be cool and tell 'em one thing".
You keep a-knockin, but you can't come in
You keep a-knockin, but you can't come in
You keep a-knockin, but you can't come in
Come back tomorrow night and try it again
The Wild One lyrics
(Chapman/Chinn)
[Spoken:]
"All my life I've wanted to be somebody, and here I am.
I know what I've got, and there ain't nobody gonna take it away from me.
So let me tell ya what I am!"
I'm a red-hot fox. I can take the knocks
I'm a hammer from hell. Honey, can't you tell?
I'm the wild one. Yes, I'm the wild one
I'm a touched-up freak on a winning streak
Your Mama Won't Like Me lyrics
(Chapman/Chinn)
I wear my jeans too short, and my neckline's too low
I'm getting stared at wherever I go
I wear my jeans too tight, and I stay out all night
And when you turn me on you'll see how I can bite
And now my preoccupation is making love
Hon hon hon
I got a bad reputation through playing around
I like your stimulation, but that aint enough
So don't take me home babyNa Na Na Na Na
Heartbreak Hotel lyrics
(Axton/Durden/Presley)
Well since my baby left me
I've found a new place to dwell
It's down the end of Lonely Street - Heartbreak Hotel
You leave me so lonely baby
You leave me so lonely
You leave me so lonely I could die
I could die
Are you lonely
Like I'm lonely
The joint's always crowded, but still they find some room
For broken hearted lovers to cry away their gloom
Tear Me Apart lyrics
(Chapman/Chinn)
Way down in Texas, down around San Antone
Stay's a little lovely
Sweeter than you've ever known
Don't let me hear that sweet kid's name
Get your hands on me and I'll drive you insane
So tear me apart if you want to win my heart
Tear me apart if you want to win my heart
Well I've been seen in the back of a limousine
I may not own it, but it's bigger than you've ever seen
If You Can't Give Me Love lyrics
(Chapman/Chinn)
Well I've seen you before on that discotheque floor
You were driving me out of my mind
But I could have swore that I saw something more in your eyes
Although you were surrounded by beauty unbounded
Your glance was intended for me
And though I tried to hide it I found myself looking to see you
So then you took your chances, you made your advances
Your touch took my breath away
The Race Is On lyrics
(Chapman/Chinn)
Go ahead and laugh at me, try to be the man you oughta be
Baby it's not hard to see what's going on
Well maybe we should celebrate, drink champagne, why should we wait
Why don't we ask some friends around, they can help us play this game we found
Let's bring everybody down
Will we ever be ready for what we're heading for
Here we stand like a couple of fools and the race is on
Love Hurts lyrics
(Quatro/Tuckey)
Love hurts
It's a crying shame
Love hurts
Such a funny thing
That you want me back again
Well it's too late now
You're finding out that love hurts
Well I don't know why
Why you said goodbye
And I don't know when
The fire left your eyes
You said you felt your need
Your need for me had died
And now I see your heart is breakin'
You're the one that's cryin'
Love hurts
She's In Love With You lyrics
(Chapman/Chinn)
She's in love with you, that's all she wants to do
She'll never let you down, she'll never fool around
'Cos she's in love with you
So if you see her all alone one night walk up to her discreetly, ask her why
And if she replies with words that don't make sense it may be just because she's shy
Don't take advantage of her lack of understanding just because you think you could
Mama's Boy lyrics
(Quatro/Tuckey)
By the way he looks across his shoulder
And the way he sees things through his eyes
It's impossible to disguise
He's a mama's boy
So confusing to my sense of humour
Is the way he hurts so easily
Anyone can see he's a mama's boy
Firstly he holds me too softly
Then he touches me barely
Mama's boy
Then he loves me too quickly
Always everything but manly
Mama's boyMama's boy
I've Never Been In Love lyrics
(Connell)
Oh no I can't sign my name oh don't you know I just lost it
And this revelation it is hotter than a matchhead
And I'm ready to go ready to fly away with you
Oh yeah
And I may lose everything but I don't give a damn if I do
Because I've never been in love
Oooh Oooh Oooh never been in love
Oooh Oooh Oooh never been in love
Oooh Oooh Oooh never been in love
Can The Can lyrics
Well you call your mamma tiger
And we all know you are lying
And your boyfriend's name is eagle
And he lives up in the sky (high high)
Watch out the tiger don't go claw the eagle's eye
But let the eagle take the tiger by surprise
Scratch out her eyes
So make a stand for your man, honey
Try to can the can
Put your man in the can, honey
Get him while you can
Can the can
Can the can
