Live! At The Star Club In Hamburg, Germany 1962 lyrics

One, two, three, four!

Well she was just seventeen
You know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another
Ooh when I saw her standing there

Well she looked at me
And I, I could see
That before too long I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another
Ooh when I saw her standing there

Well my heart went boom

Gonna write a little letter, gonna mail it to my local D.J.
It's a rockin' rhythm record I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven, gotta hear it again today

You know my temperature's risin' and the jukebox blows a fuse
My heart's beatin' rhythm and my soul keeps on singin' the blues
Roll over Beethoven, tell Tschaikowsky the news

Well if you feel you like it

For goodness sake,

I've got the hippy hippy shake.

I've got the shake,

oh the hippy hippy shake.

Oo I can't keep still

with the hippy hippy shake.

I get my fill

with that hippy hippy shake.

Oo my babe,

auw the hippy hippy shake.

Well now you shake it to the left,

you shake it to the right.

Do the hippy shake shake

with all of your might.

They're really rocking in Boston
Philadelphia, PA
Deep in the heart of Texas
On down in Frisco Bay
All over Saint Louis
On down to New Orleans
All the cats want to dance with
Sweet little sixteen
Sweet little sixteen
She just got to have
About half a million
Framed autographs
Her wallet is filled with pictures
She get 'em one by one
Becomes so excited

You better leave my kitten all alone,
You better leave my kitten all alone.
But I told you big fat bulldog,
You better leave her alone.
You better leave my kitten all alone,
You better leave my kitten all alone.
This dog is gonna get you,
If you don't leave her alone.
Well Mr.Dog I'm gonna hit you
On the top of your head.
That child is gonna miss you,
You gonna wish that you were dead.

Well, shake it up, baby, now (shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout (twist and shout)
C'mon c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, baby, now (come on baby)
Come on and work it on out (work it on out)

Well, work it on out, honey (work it on out)
You know you look so good (look so good)
You know you got me goin', now (got me goin')
Just like I knew you would (like I knew you would)

Mr. Moonlight
You came to me one summer night
And from your beam you made my dream
And from the world you sent my girl
And from above you sent us love
And now she is mine
I think you're fine
Cos we love you, Mr. Moonlight
Mr. Moonlight, come again please
Here I am on my knees
Begging if you please
And the night you don't come my way
I'll pray and pray more each day

A taste of honey... tasting much sweeter than wine

I dream of your first kiss and then
I feel upon my lips again
A taste of honey... tasting much sweeter than wine

Oh I will return, yes I will return
I'll come back for the honey and you

Yours was a kiss that awoke my heart
There lingers still, 'though we're far apart
That taste of honey... tasting much sweeter than wine

Ah, Kansas City

coming to get my baby back home

yeah, yeah

I'm gonna Kansas city

coming to get my baby back home

yeah, yeah

Well, it's a long, long, time

since my baby's been gone

Ah, Kansas City

coming to get my baby on time

yeah, yeah

I'm gonna Kansas City

coming to get my baby on time

yeah, yeah

It's just a one, two, three, four

There were bells on a hill
But I never heard them ringing
No I never heard them at all
Till there was you

There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No I never saw them at all
Till there was you

Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and you

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing

Not guilty
for getting in your way
while you're trying to steal the day.
Not guilty
and I'm not here for the rest,
I'm not trying to steal your vest.

I am not trying to be smart,
I only want what I can get.
I'm really sorry for your ageing head.
But like you heard me said:
not guilty.

No use handing me a writ
while I'm trying to do my bit.

I don't expect to take your heart.

I love you, 'cause you tell me things I want to know
And it's true that it really only goes to show
That I know,
That I, I, I, I should never, never, never be blue

Now you're mine, my happiness still makes me cry
And in time, you'll understand the reason why
If I cry,
It's not because I'm sad
But you're the only love that I've ever had

I can't believe it's happened to me

Let me tell you about a girl I know
She's my baby and I love her so
Every morning when the sun comes up
She brings me coffee in my favorite cup
That's why I know, yes I know
Hallelujah I just love her so

When I call her on the telephone
She says: baby, I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four
She'll be knocking on my door

In the evening when the sun goes down

Well they took some honey from a tree
Dressed it up and they called it me

Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby now

Woke up last night half past four
Fifty women knocking on my door

Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby

I said I'm sittin' here watchin' matchbox hole in my clothes
I said I'm sittin' here wonderin' matchbox hole in my clothes
I ain't got no matches but I sure got a long way to go

I'm an old poor boy, and I'm a long way from home
I'm an old poor boy, and I'm a long way from home
I'll never be happy 'cause everything I ever did was wrong

I'm gonna tell Aunt Mary 'bout Uncle John
He says he has the blues but he got a lotta fun
Oh baby, ye-e-e-eah now baby, woo-o-o-oh baby
Some fun tonight

I saw Uncle John with long tall Sally
He saw Aunt Mary comin' and he ducked back in the alley
Oh baby, ye-e-e-eah now baby, woo-o-o-oh baby
Some fun tonight

Well long tall Sally...
She's got everything that Uncle John needs
