Real Rock Drive

Bill Haley

© Myers Music, BMI

Oh the sun goes down and the moon shines bright
It's time for a ball on Saturday night
People gather 'round like bees on a hive
And boys start a-rocking out the real rock drive
And I'm gone Till the break of day
It's a real rock drive and they play it in a real gone way

Oh you grab a little gal and you circle like a top
When you jump across the floor with a skip and a hop
Your pants rolled up and you're truckin' on down
With a pretty little gal in a red silk gown
And I'm gone Till the break of day
It's a real rock drive and they play it in a real gone way

Dance the real rock drive and you ask for more
And your feet keep kickin' up splinters in the floor
You gotta be sharp and you gotta look alive
'Cause the joint's really rockin' to the real rock drive
And I'm gone Till the break of day
It's a real rock drive and they play it in a real gone way

If you wanna be happy and glad you're alive
Just take off your shoes and do the real rock drive
Feelin' sort a low? You're bound to get a treat
Just slippin' and a slidin' to a real rock beat
And I'm gone Till the break of day
It's a real rock drive and they play it in a real gone way

Chattanooga Choo Choo

Mack Gordon - Harry Warren

© Leo Feist Music, ASCAP

All aboard

Hi there pal whatcha say
Step aside partner it's my day
Lend an ear and listen to my version
Of a really crazy Tennessee excursion

Pardon me boy
Is that the Chattanooga Choo-Choo
Track twenty-nine
Boy you can give me a shine

Can you afford
To board the Chattanooga Choo-Choo
I've got my fair
And just a trifle to spare

You'll leave that Pennsylvania station 'bout a quarter to four
Read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore
Dinner in a diner nothing could be finer
And a-have your ham and eggs in Caroliner

When you hear the whistle blowing eight to the bar
Then you know that Tennessee is not very far
Shuffle all the coal in
Gotta keep a-rollin'
Whoo whoo Chattanooga there you are

There's gonna be
A certain party at the station
Satin and lace
I used to call funny face

She's gonna cry
Until I tell her that I'll never roam
So Chattanooga Choo-Choo
Won't you choo choo me home

So Chattanooga Choo-Choo
Won't you choo choo me home
(Chattanooga Chattanooga)
(Chattanooga Chattanooga)

Chattanooga Choo-Choo
Won't you choo choo me home
(Chattanooga Chattanooga)
(Chattanooga Chattanooga)

(Chattanooga Chattanooga)
(Chattanooga Chattanooga)

Rocking Chair On The Moon

Bill Haley

© Myers Music, BMI

I got a rock rock rocking chair on the moon
I got a rock rock rocking chair on the moon
Oh rock away my troubles rock away my blues
In my rocking chair on the moon

When the moon is shining shining from above
Shining on the couples all a-making love
You look up in the sky see the moon a-riding high
You look up in the sky see a high flying guy
I'm sitting in a rocking chair rocking away
In my rocking chair on the moon

I got a rock rock rocking chair on the moon
I got a rock rock rocking chair on the moon
Oh rock away my troubles rock away my blues
In my rocking chair on the moon

I got a rock rock rocking chair on the moon
I got a rock rock rocking chair on the moon
Oh rock away my troubles rock away my blues
In my rocking chair on the moon

Rocking in the moonlight rocking away
Rocking in the moonlight sleeping in the day
Haven't got a worry haven't got a care
If I do I'll lose 'em rocking in my rocking chair
Trouble seems to fly away blues die away
In my rocking chair on the moon

I got a rock rock rocking chair on the moon
I got a rock rock rocking chair on the moon
Oh rock away my troubles rock away my blues
In my rocking chair on the moon

Farewell So Long Goodbye

Bill Haley

© Myers Music, BMI

I'm gonna say to you
These three little words and they mean that we are through
Farewell so long goodbye
Farewell so long goodbye
You're leaving me these words of three
Farewell so long goodbye

First you say you can
Then you say you can't

Farewell so long goodbye
Farewell so long goodbye
You're leaving me these words of three
Farewell so long goodbye

So now you're gonna leave

I'm gonna say to you
These three little words and they mean that we are through
Farewell so long goodbye
Farewell so long goodbye
You're leaving me these words of three
Farewell so long goodbye

First you say you can
Then you say you can't

Farewell so long goodbye
Farewell so long goodbye
You're leaving me these words of three
Farewell so long goodbye

I hope you're satisfied

But you got a lot to learn

I'm gonna say to you
These three little words
Farewell so long goodbye
Farewell so long goodbye
You're leaving me these words of three
Farewell so long goodbye

Farewell so long goodbye
Farewell so long goodbye
You're leaving me these words of three
Farewell so long goodbye
