FLIP FLOP AND FLY
(Charles E. Calhoun - Lou Willie Turner)
« © '55 Unichappel Music, BMI »
When I get the blues I get me a rockin' chair
When I get the blues I get me a rockin' chair
Well the blues don't take me gonna rock on away from here
When I get lonesome I jump on the telephone
When I get lonesome I jump on the telephone
I call my baby tell her I'm on my way back home
I said flip flop and fly I don't care if I die
I said flip flop and fly I don't care if I die
Well don't ever leave me don't you ever say goodbye
Give me one more kiss hold it a long long time
Give me one more kiss hold it a long long time
Now love me baby till the feelin' hits my head like wine
Well here comes my baby flashin' her new gold tooth
Oh here comes my baby flashin' her new gold tooth
Well she's so small she can mambo in a pay phone booth
I'm gonna flip flop and fly I don't care if I die
I'm gonna flip flop and fly I don't care if I die
Now don't ever leave me don't ever say goodbye
[ sax ]
I'm like a Mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stump
I'm like a Mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stump
I got so many women I don't know which way to jump
Well flip flop and fly...

MONEY HONEY
(Jesse Stone)
« © '56 Walden Music, ASCAP »
You know the landlord rang my frontdoor bell
I let it ring for a long long spell
I went to the window I peeped through the blind
And asked her to tell me what was on her mind
She said money honey yeah money honey whoa oh
Money honey if you wanna get along with me
Well I screamed and I hollered and so hard pressed
I called the woman that I love the best
I find a gal about half past three
She said I like to know what you want with me
I said money honey yeah money honey uh huh
Money honey if you wanna get along with me
Oh well she screamed and said what's wrong with you
From this day on our romance is through
I said pretty baby face to face
How could another man take my place
She said money honey yeah...
[ sax ]
Well now I've learned my lesson and now I know
The sun may shine and the winds may blow
The women may come the women may go
But before I say I love you so
I want money honey yeah...

TOMORROW NIGHT
(Sam Coslow - Will Grosz)
« © '39 Bourne Co, ASCAP »
Tomorrow night will you remember what you said tonight
Tomorrow night will all the thrill be gone
But tomorrow night will this be just another memory
Or just another lovely song that's in my heart to linger on
Your lips are so tender your heart is beating fast
And you willingly surrender tell me darling will it last
Tomorrow night will you be with me when the moon is bright
Tomorrow night will you say those things you said tonight
Your lips are so tender...

AIN'T NOBODY HERE BUT US CHICKENS
(Joan Whitney - Alex Kramer)
« © '56 Bourne Co, ASCAP »
One night farmer Brown was takin' the air
Locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care
Down in the henhouse something stirred
When he shouted who's there this is what he heard
There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So calm yourself and stop that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
We chickens tryin' to sleep and you bust in
And hobble-hobble hobble-hobble with your chin
There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
You're stompin' around and shakin' the ground
You're kickin' up an awful dust
We chickens tryin' to sleep and you bust in
And hobble-hobble hobble-hobble it's a sin
Tomorrow is a busy day
We got things to do we got eggs to lay
We got ground to dig and worms to scratch
It takes a lot of sittin' gettin' chicks to hatch
Oh there ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So quite yourself and stop that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
Kindly point that gun the other way
And hobble-hobble hobble-hobble hit the hay
And hobble-hobble hobble off and hit the hay
[ sax ]
Tomorrow is a busy day...
Oh there ain't nobody here but us chickens...

SHAKE A HAND
(Joe Morris)
« © '56 Regent Music, BMI »
Just leave it to me don't ever be ashamed
Just give me a chance I'll take care of everything
Your troubles I'll share let me know and I'll be there
I'll take care of you anyplace and anywhere
Shake a hand shake a hand shake a hand shake a hand
Shake a hand shake a hand shake a hand if you can
Be truthful to me I'll be truthful to you
I'm in love with you so and I don't know what to do
So let's call it a day I said all that I can say
Except don't forget to pray and shake a hand every day
Shake a hand shake a hand...

PLEASE SEND ME SOMEONE TO LOVE
(Percy Mayfield)
« © '56 ATV Songs, BMI »
Heaven please send to all mankind understanding and peace of mind
But if it's not asking too much please send me someone to love someone to love
Show all the world how to get along peace will enter when hate is gone
But if it's not asking too much please send me someone to love someone to love
I lay awake night and ponder world troubles and my answer is always the same
That unless man puts an end to all terror and sin
Then hate will put the world in a flame what a shame
Just because I'm in misery I'm not asking for no sympathy
But if it's not asking too much please send me someone to love
Please send me someone to love
[ sax ]
Just because I'm in misery...
Please send me someone to love

SHOTGUN BOOGIE
(Tennessee Ernie Ford)
« © '50 Century Songs, BMI »
There it stands in the corner with the barrel so straight
I looked out the window and over the gate
The big fat rabbits are a jumpin' in the grass
Wait'll they hear my old shotgun blast
Shotgun boogie I done saw your tracks
Look out Mr Rabbit when I cock my hammer back
Well over on the ridge came cagy fox
Hick'er nuts so big you can see 'em in the dark
The big fat Squirrels they scratch and they bite
I'll be on that ridge before daylight
Well the shotgun boogie all I need is one shot
Look out bushy tail tonight you'll be in the pot
[ piano ]
Well I met pretty gal she was tall and thin
I asked her what she had she said a fox 4-10
I looked her up and down and said boy this is love
So we headed for the brush to shoot a big fat dove
Shotgun boogie boy the feathers flew
Look out Mr Dove when she draws a bead on you
I sat down on a log took her on my lap
She said wait a minute bud you got to see my pap
He's got a 16 gauge choked down like a rifle
He don't like a man that's a gonna trifle
Shotgun boogie draws a bead so fine
Look out big boy he's loaded all the time
[ guitar ]
Well I called on her pap like a gentleman oughter
He said no brush hunter's gonna get my daughter
He cocked back the hammer right on the spot
When the gun went off I outran the shot
Shotgun boogie I wanted weddin' bells
I'll be back little gal when your pappy runs out of shells
