REELIN' AND ROCKIN'

(Chuck Berry) « © '58 Chess Music, BMI »
Sometimes I will and then sometimes I won't
Sometimes I will and then sometimes I won't
Sometimes I do and then sometimes I don't

Well I looked at my watch and it was nine twenty-one
At a rock'n roll party havin' nothin' but fun
And we rolled reelin' and a rockin'
Well we been a reelin' and a rockin' and rollin' till the break of dawn

Well I looked at my watch and it was nine thirty-two

HANDY MAN

(Otis Blackwell - Jimmy Jones) « © '60 Unart Catalog, BMI / Bess Music, BMI »
Hey girls gather round
Listen to what I'm puttin' down
Uh uh baby I'm your handy man

I'm not the kind to use a big ol' rule
When it comes to lovin' I'm no fool
I fix broken hearts I know I surely can

If your broken heart need repair
Then I'm the man to see
I whisper sweet words you tell all your friends
They'll come runnin' to me

It's amazing I wanna say
I'm busy twenty-four hours a day
I fix broken hearts I know that I surely can
[ guitar ] If your broken heart needs repair...
It's amazing I wanna say...

IT'S ONLY MAKE BELIEVE

(Conway Twitty - Jack Nance) « © '59 Tree Publishing, BMI »
People see us everywhere they all think you really care
But myself I can't deceive I know it's only make believe

My one and only prayer is that some day you'll care
My hopes my dreams come true my one and only you
No one will ever know how much I love you so
My only prayer will be some day you'll care for me
But it's only make believe

My hopes my dreams come true my life I give for you
My heart or wedding ring my all my everything
My heart I can't control you lure my very soul
My only prayer will be some day you'll care for me
But it's only make believe

My one and only prayer is that some day you'll care
My hopes my dreams come true my one and only you
No one will ever know how much I love you so
My plans my hopes my schemes you are my every dream
But it's only make believe

JAILHOUSE ROCK

(Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller) « © '57 Jerry Leiber Music, ASCAP / Mike Stoller Music, ASCAP »
The warden threw a party in the county jail
The priosn band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing

Let's rock everybody let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Well Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide tronbone
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash boom bang
The whole rhythm section was the purple gang

Let's rock everybody let's rock...

Well No 47 said to No 3
You're sure the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure would be delighted with your company
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me

Let's rock everybody let's rock...
[ guitar ] The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone
The warden said hey buddy don't you be no square
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair

Let's rock everybody let's rock...

Well Shifty Heny said to bugs for heaven's sake
No one's lookin' now's our chance to make a break
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said nix nix
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks

Let's rock everybody let's rock...

GREAT BALLS OF FIRE

(Otis Blackwell - Jack Hammer) « © '57 Unichappell Music, BMI »
You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will but what a thrill
Goodness gracious those great balls of fire

I laughed cause I thought it was funny
You came along and move me honey
I changed my mind this love is fine
Goodness gracious great balls of fire

Kiss me baby ooh honey that sure does feel good
Hold me baby well I want to love you like a lover should
You're fine so kind
I'm gonna tell theis world you're mine mine mine

I chew my nails I twiddle my thumbs
I'm real nervous but it sure is fun
Come on baby you're drivin' me crazy
Goodness precious great balls of fire
[ guitar ] Kiss me baby ooh honey that sure does feel good...
I chew my nails I twiddle my thumbs...

GIRL CAN'T HELP IT

(Bobby Troup) « © '60 Robbins Catalog, ASCAP »
(The girl can't help it the girl can't help it)

If she walks by the men folks get engrossed
(She can't help it the girl can't help it)
If she winks an eye the bread slice turn to toast
(She can't help it the girl can't help it)
Yeah if she got a lot of what they call the most

Well the girl can't help it she was born to please
And she's got a figure made to squeeze
Well won't you kindly be aware
(She can't help it the girl can't help it)
She mesmerizes every mother's son
(She can't help it the girl can't help it)
And when she's smiling, beefsteak become well done
(She can't help it the girl can't help it)
She makes grandpa feel like twenty one

Well the girl can't help it she was born to please
(Was born to please)
And if I go to her on bended knees
Won't you kindly be aware that I can't help it
(And he can't help it)
Because I'm hoping obviously
That some day the answer would be
The girl can't help it she's in love with me
[ sax ] Well the girl can't help it she was born to please...
