Huey Lewis and The News Album

Get outta that bed and wash those face and hands
Get outta that bed, wash those face and hands
Get in that kitchen, make some noise with the pots and pans

When you wear those dresses, the sun comes shining through
When you wear those dresses, the sun comes shining through
I can't believe my eyes all that mess belongs to you

I believe in my soul you're a devil in nylon hose
I believe in my soul you're a devil in nylon hose
Well, the harder I work, the faster my money goes

I said, shake, rattle and roll, I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Well, you won't do nothin' to save your doggone soul

I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a seafood store
I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a seafood store
Well, I can look at you and tell you ain't no child no more

Way over the hill, way down underneath
Way over the hill, way down underneath
You make me roll my eyes, baby, make me grit my teeth

I said shake, rattle and roll, I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll, I said shake, rattle and roll
Well, you won't do nothing to save your doggone...

Shake, rattle and roll

Blue Monday how I hate Blue Monday
Got to work like a slave all day
Here come Tuesday, oh hard Tuesday
I'm so tired got no time to play
Here come Wednesday, I'm beat to my socks
My gal calls, got to tell her that I'm out
'Cause Thursday is a hard workin' day
And Friday I get my pay

Saturday mornin', oh Saturday mornin'
All my tiredness has gone away
Got my money and my honey
And I'm out on the stand to play
Sunday mornin' my head is bad
But it's worth it for the time that I had
But I've got to get my rest
'Cause Monday is a mess

Searchin', searchin' for my baby, yes I am
Searchin', searchin' for my baby, yes I am

Searchin', searchin' for my baby
I'm searchin', searchin' for my love
I'm searchin' for the one I adore
If I find her you know I will
I'll never, never let her go no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
I'll never, never let her go, now, baby

I love you, I need you
I need you by my side
For my love, for my true love
I'll never, never never hide, now, baby, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no I'll never, never never hide, no no

I wonder I wonder why
You had to leave me this way
I'm sorry, darling that I made you cry
Forgive me, love, for the things I've done to you
Come along, come along
Give me one more try

Searchin', baby
I'm searchin', searchin' for my love
I'm searchin' for the one I adore
When I find her I'll never, never let her go, no no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I'll never, never let her go

I don't need whole lots 'a money
I don't need a big, fine car
I got everything that a man could want
I got more than I could ask for

See, I don't have to run around
I don't have to stay out all night
'Cause I got a sweet, a sweet lovin' woman
And she knows just how to treat me right

My baby, she's all right
My baby, clean out of sight, don't you know that
She's

She's some kind 'a wonderful Yes she is,
She's some kind 'a wonderful.
Now let me tell you one thing.

When she holds me in her arms
She sets my soul on fire
Ooh, when my baby kisses me
It fills my heart with desire
And when she wraps her lovin' arms around me
Always tires me out of my mind
I feel a funny little feeling inside of me
Chills run up and down my spine

My baby, she's all right
My baby, clean out of sight, don't you know that
She's

She's some kind 'a wonderful, Yes she is
She's some kind 'a wonderful.

Now is there anybody
Got a sweet little woman like mine
Got to be somebody
With a sweet little woman like mine

Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness

You don't know how I feel
You'll never know how I feel
When I needed you to come around
You always try to put me down
Well I know, girl, believe me when I say that
You are surely, surely gonna pay, girl

But it's all right, all right girl
You can hurt me but it's all right
Hey now, one day ah, you will see
You'll never find a guy like me
Who'll love you right both day and night
You'll never have to worry 'cause it's alright

Oh, but I'm tellin' you girl and I know it's true
That I was made to love only you

But it's all right, all right girl
You can hurt me, but it's all right
Go on, yeah

Oh, oh, yeah
My my my baby, wow, yeah!

I said it's all right, all right girl
Hey, now it's all right, all right girl
Now there's one thing I wanna say, hey, yeah
You'll meet a guy who'll make you pay
He'll treat you bad and make you sad
And you will ruin the love you had
Oh, but I hate to say I told you so, but
Baby, you gotta gotta reap what you sow, girl

But it's all right all right girl
You are payin' now, but it's all right

Goodbye, love
Goodbye, girl
You're payin' now, say bye-bye
You hurt me once, you hurt me twice
Oh, but-a baby, that don't cut no ice

If you got to make a fool of somebody
If you got to make a fool of someone
Do you really want to hurt me
When I’m the one that worries
About you

Daytime
Nitetime
Anytime at all
I'll rush to your side
Anytime you call
Just to be near you
You know
That anywhere I’ll go
How could you hurt me so

If you got to make a fool of somebody
If you got to make a fool of someone
If you got to make a fool of somebody
If you got to make a fool of someone
Do you really want to hurt me
When I'm the one that worries
About you

Mother in law, mother in law
Mother in law, mother in law

The worst person I know
Mother in law, mother in law
She worries me so
Mother in law, mother in law
If she leaves us alone
We could have a happy home
Sent from down below
Mother in law, mother in law
Mother in law, mother in law

Satan should be her name
Mother in law, mother in law
To me they're about the same
Mother in law, mother in law
Everytime I open my mouth
Steps in trying to put me out
How could you stood so low
Mother in law, mother in law
Mother in law, mother in law

Come home with my pay
Mother in law, mother in law
She asks me what I made
Mother in law, mother in law
She thinks her advice is a contribution
If she would leave that would be the solution
Don't come back no more
Mother in law, mother in law
Mother in law, mother in law...

The night was clear, and the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumblin' down...

I was standin' on the corner
When I heard my bull dog bark
He was barkin' at the two men
Who were gamblin' in the dark

It was Stagger Lee and Billy
Two men who gambled late
Stagger Lee threw a seven
Billy swore that he threw eight

Stagger Lee told Billy,
"I can't let you go with that
You have won all my money
And my brand-new Stetson hat"

Stagger Lee went home
And he got his 44
Said, "I'm goin' to the bar room
Just to pay that debt I owe"

Go, Stagger Lee

Stagger Lee went to the bar room
And he strolled across the bar room floor
He said "Now nobody move"
And he pulled his 44

"Stagger Lee," cried Billy
"Oh, please don't take my life
I've got three little children
And a very sickly wife"

Stagger Lee shot Billy
Oh, he shot that poor boy so bad
That a bullet went through Billy
And broke the bartender's glass

Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee

She shot a hole in my soul
I'm walking all over town
Calling her name and trying to find her
She shot a hole in my soul-yeah
I'm walking all over town
Knockin' and beatin' on every door

Some pity me
And people start to cry
One man said he helped me
But I thanked him and said goodbye
'Cause I've got to keep on trying-oh
I'm going crazy, about to lose my mind
I've got to keep on trying
I'm going crazy, about to lose my mind

My heart says
Without a love you're dying
Baby, baby, baby
Can't you hear me crying
Say, oooh
Whoa, help me somebody

She shot a hole in my soul
I'm walking all over town
Calling her name and try to find her
She shot a hole in my soul, yeah
I'm walking all over town
Knockin' and beatin' on every door

I walked into a club
Jumped up and grabbed the microphone
I asked the man, leading the band
To let me sing a song
'Cause my heart says
Without a love you're dying
Baby, baby, baby
Can't you hear me crying
Say, oooh
Whoa

She shot a hole in my soul
I'm walking all over town
Calling her name and try to find her
She shot a hole in my soul, yeah
I'm walking all over town
Knockin' and beatin' on every door

Surely, surely, surely, surely
surely, surely, surely, surely
I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I
Love ov, lo lo, love ov, lo lo, love ov, lolo love you

Come rain, come snow
Come, come sunshine
Your love will stop the rain
It will melt the snow
'Cause you're mine
All I find to say
When I feel this way
Is just I... I
Love you, love you, love you

I love you because
Darling, you're for real
You showed this heart of mine
How a real true lovin' ought to feel

Surely, surely, surely, surely
Surely, surely, surely, surely
I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I

I love you because
Honey, you're for real
You showed this aching heart
How a real true lovin' ought to feel

Surely, surely, surely, surely
surely, surely, surely, surely
I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I
Love ov, lo lo, love ov, lo lo, love ov, lolo love you

You left the water running
When you left me here behind
You left the water running
Running from these eyes of mine
Running from these eyes of mine

You turned off the life and love
And left with another guy
You turned off all of your love from me
But you forgot to turn off the cry
You forgot to turn off the cry

You pull the shades a way down low
You disconnect the telephone
Oh baby, but these tears, a-running from my eyes
You can't turn 'em off any, no
No you can't turn 'em off any, no

You left the water running
When you left me here behind
You left the water running
Running from these eyes of mine
Running from these eyes of mine

You locked the door, left my heart outside
And then you threw the key away (tell 'em Colla)
But you'll regret and you'll be upset
When you get your water bill to pay
When you get your water bill to pay

You left the water running
When you left me here behind
You left the water running
Running from these eyes of mine
Running from these eyes of mine

Walking down the main drag one night
I met a fine chick that looked- just right
she stopped in and I flashed my roll
I told her she could have all of my dough
she turned around, and with a fround
she said this ain't no circus and I don't need a clown
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
your cash ain't nothin' but trash
your cash ain't nothin' but trash
so there ain't no need in your hangin' around
Just to make the hit with that chick
I tried to get a cadillac right quick
the man at the place looked so strange
I had nine hundred bucks and some change
we disagreed, I tried to pleed
He said I ain't no chicken and I don't need your feed
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
then brother you're crawling we passed your speed

I'm walking and countin my bucks
the man with the gun said hands up
I tried to get away but I was too slow
he caught me and took all of my dough
I heard him shout, as he cut out
"you really lost nothing what you're crying about?"
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
and he took my watch and I passed out
I woke in the arms of a big cop
police station next stop
the judge swung his fist down plunk plunk
twenty dollar fine 'cause you're drunk
dig up the dough, and you can go
and all I had was a buffalo
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
but I sure better get me some more

I'm getting ready for the function at the junction

(Instrumental)

Well I've had my fun if I don't get well no more
Well I've had my fun if I don't get well no more
Yeah my head is spinning
And I'm going down slow

Please write my mother tell her the shape I'm in
Please write my mother tell her the shape I'm in
Tell her to pray for me
Forgive me for my sins

Don't send me no doctor he won't do me no good
Don't send me no doctor he won't do me no good
I said it's all my fault
Did do things I shouldn't have...

Driftin' and stumblin' like a ship out on the sea
Driftin' and stumblin' like a ship out on the sea
I ain't got nobody
To care for me
