Fandango lyrics

Get high, everybody, get high.
Get high, everybody, get high.
Get high, everybody, get high.
Get high, everybody, get high.
Have you heard? What's the word?
It's Thunderbird.

All you kids from Texas,
you grow so big and tall.
All of them kids from Texas
they grow so big and tall.
All of them like to roam
in that T-Bird hall.

Get hi-hi-high.
Really makes you feel so fine,

Well, I knocked down on your door, baby,
To see if you were at home.
Your shade was down, there wasn’t even a sound
But something told me you weren’t alone.
What in the world can a nasty dog do
But try to get next to you?

Don’t laugh ’cause it ain’t funny.
Look how it happened to me.
It could happen to you, you could be a fool too

I done ran into my baby
and fin'lly found my old blue jean.
I done ran into my baby
and fin'lly found my old blue jean.
Well, I could tell that they was mine
from the oil and the gasoline.

If I ever get back my blue jean,
Lord, how happy could one man be.
If I ever get back my blue jean,
Lord, how happy could one man be.
'Cause if I get back those blue jean

Deep in the South of Texas
not so long ago,
there on a crowded island
in the Gulf of Mexico
it didn't take too much money,
man, but it sure was nice.
You could dance all night if you felt all right,
drinking whiskey and throwing dice.

And everybody knows
it was hard to leave.
And everybody knows
it was down at the Balinese.

Yeah, I remember Ruby,
she always dressed in red

If you're down in Acuna and you ain't up to being alone
don't spend all your money on just any honey that's grown.
Go find the Mexican blackbird and send all your troubles back home.

They all call her her "puta" 'cause no one really knows her name.
She works the cantina, dancin' and a-lovin's her trade.
Her mama was Mez'can and her daddy was the ace of spades.

Do you remember
back in nineteen sixty-six?
Country Jesus, hillbilly blues,
that's where I learned my licks.
Oh, from coast to coast and line to line
in every county there,
I'm talkin' 'bout that outlaw X
is cuttin' through the air.

Anywhere, y'all,
everywhere, y'all,
I heard it, I heard it,
I heard it on the X.

We can all thank Doctor B
who stepped across the line.

I been up, I been down.
Take my word, my way around.
I ain't askin' for much.
I said, Lord, take me downtown,
I'm just lookin' for some tush.
I been bad, I been good,
Dallas, Texas; Hollywood.
I ain't askin' for much.
I said, Lord, take me downtown,
I'm just lookin' for some tush.

Take me back way back home,
not by myself, not alone.
I ain't askin' for much.

Got to have you, baby, even
Though you say that you don't care.
Got to have you, baby, even
Though you say that you don't care.
Any way you want it,
Settle for a backdoor love affair.

Jump, jump here, jump, jump there,
Jump, jump, baby, everywhere.
Don't you mellow down easy,
Babe, you got to mellow down easy.
Don't you mellow down easy.
Got to mellow down easy.
Don't you mellow down easy.
Got to mellow down easy, babe.
Don't you mellow down easy.
Got to mellow down easy.
Don't you mellow down easy.
Mellow down easy when you really wanna blow your top.

Is everybody feelin' good? You makin' us feel good, too!
Now, early this morning I got on that long distance telephone
And I called my mama.
I said, mama, this is your boy, and I'm way down here in
New orleans, louisiana.
And she said, that's all right, boy.
And she turned to my papa and she said,
papa, our boy's way down there in new orleans.
We cannot let him stay out all night long.
She did!

Goin' to a party in the county jail,
Prison band was there and they began to wail.
Kid is shakin' and began to sing;
You should've heard them 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 sittin' on a block of stone;
Little joey blowin' on a slide trombone.

Got to have you, baby, even

though you say that you don't care.

Got to have you, baby, even

though you say that you don't care.

Any way you want it,

settle for a backdoor love affair.

Jump, jump here, jump, jump there,

jump, jump, baby, everywhere.

Don't you mellow down easy,

babe, you got to mellow down easy.

Don't you mellow down easy.

Got to mellow down easy.

Got to have you, baby, even
though you say that you don't care.
Got to have you, baby, even
though you say that you don't care.
Any way you want it,
settle for a backdoor love affair

Jump, jump here, jump, jump there,
jump, jump, baby, everywhere.
Don't you mellow down easy,
babe, you got to mellow down easy.
Don't you mellow down easy.
Got to mellow down easy.
Don't you mellow down easy.
Got to mellow down easy, babe.
Don't you mellow down easy.
Got to mellow down easy.
Don't you mellow down easy.
Mellow down easy when you really wanna blow your top.

Is everybody feelin' good? You makin' us feel good, too!
Now, early this morning I got on that long distance telephone
and I called my mama.
I said, "Mama, this is your boy, and I'm way down here in
New Orleans, Louisiana."
And she said, "That's all right, boy."
And she turned to my papa and she said,
"Papa, our boy's way down there in New Orleans.

I been up, I been down.
Take my word, my way around.

Got to have you, baby, even
