Tulane and Johnny opened a novelty shop
Back under the counter was the cream of the crop
Eveything was clicking and the business was good
'Til one day, lo and behold, an officer stood
Johnny jumped the counter but he stumbled and fell
But Tulane made it over Johnny ??? as he yelled

Go ahead on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you
Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you
Go Tulane, use all the speed you got
Go Tulane, you know you need a lot
Go Tulane, he laggin' behind
Go ahead on, Tulane

Go by your father's house and tell him business is slow
And see if he will loan us something, soon as he hits the dough
Put the cat out in the hall and rumple up the room
Go by Doctor Keller's, tell him you swollowed some perfume
Tell him we need him quick, 'cause he may to testify
That you been sick all day and that's a perfect alibi

Go ahead on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you
Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you
Go Tulane, use all the speed you got
Go Tulane, you know you need a lot
Go Tulane, he laggin' behind
Go ahead on, Tulane

Go, let Danny drive in case you run into the man
Back by the shop and get the stuff and hide it in the van
Go back by your father's, get the money for the bail
And bring it down and bail me out this rotten, funky jail
We got to get a lawyer in the click of politics
Somebody who can win the thing or get the thing fixed

Go ahead on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you
Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you
Go Tulane, use all the speed you got
Go Tulane, you know you need a lot
Go Tulane, he laggin' behind
Go ahead on, Tulane, go ahead on

Have mercy, I'm in a world of trouble now
I'm being held by the State Patrol
I am charged with traffic of the forbidden
And I almost finished doing my parole
Now, I'm on my way back down town
Somebody help me, have mercy on my soul

I go to court tomorrow morning
And I got the same judge I had before
Lord, I know he won't have no mercy on me
'Cause he told me not to come back no more
He'll send me away to some stoney mansion
In a lonely room and lock the door

Ow! Have mercy on my little Tulane
She's too alive to try to live alone
And I know her needs
And although she loves me
She's gonna try to make it
While the poor boy's gone

Somebody should tell her to live
And I'll understand it
And even love her more
When I come back home

You know sometimes I'm a rocker and sometimes I'm all a roller.
I may go down sometimes but I come back to rock'n'roller

We were out on the floor when they played number one,
We were rockin' and a rollin' and really havin' fun
I'm a rocker, yeah; I'm a roller,
I may go down sometimes but I come back to rock'n'roller

We were out the floor when they played number two
You know she claims she don't, but I know she do
I'm a rocker, yeah; I'm a roller
I may go down sometimes, but I come back to rock'n'roller

We were out on the floor when they played number three
Believe me, I was diggin?her and she was diggin?me
I抦 a rocker, yeah; I抦 a roller
I may go down sometimes, but I come back to rock'n'roller

We were out on the floor when they played number four
She done freak me out and I was ready to go
I'm a rocker, I'm a roller
I may go down sometimes, but I come back to rock'n'roller

We were out on the floor when they played number five
I was lit up like a green light on a one-way drive
I'm a rocker, I'm a roller
I may go down sometimes, but I come back to rock'n'roller
We were out on the floor when they played number six
I was stone getting firm like a cement mix
I'm a rocker, I'm a roller
I may go down sometimes, but I come back to rock'n'roller

We were out on the floor when they played number seven
We caught a taxicab and told him to take us to heaven
I抦 a rocker, I抦 a roller
I may go down sometimes, but I come back to rock'n'roller

We were out on the floor when they played number eight
She was right on time, and I wasn抰 a second late
I'm a rocker, I'm a roller
I may go down sometimes, but I come back to rock'n'roller

We were out on the floor when they played number ten
We had a coke, a cheeseburger, went and did it again.
I'm a rocker, I'm a roller
I may go down sometimes, but I come back to rock'n'roller

We was all freaked out when the band went down
And we all got together and went 憆ound and around
I抦 a rocker, I抦 a roller
I may go down sometimes but I come back
Rockin', rollin', rockin', rollin', rockin'
N?rollin' and really havin' fun
I'm a rocker, I'm a roller
I may go down sometimes but I come back to rock'n'roller

Fish and Chips
A little coke and you, oh, babe
Honey drips
Two more to go, oh, babe
Let's go on back
The trip will be groovy, oh, babe
Jump in the sack
Flip your mood, oh, babe
Come to me
I really do love you, oh, babe
Honey, honey
Honey dripper too, oh, babe
Loved you before
I loved you a long, long time, my love
Loving you more
Then I got to have more of
Fish and chips

Some people live each week in fun and play
From sweat by you and by me
While we must toil so long each day
Just to stay alive and free

Some people live in homes, so content and reposed
Unrushed through all the woe
While we share that woe
With those who have no woe at all

Some people live with much and care the least
If war should end or stay
While we, with less, pay more for peace
Uum, why should it be this way ?

Oh, the day's sure to come
When we would have to live
In love and peace and happiness
And we will have the will to love
And to give to those who do have less
