Smash out the windows and knock down the door

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

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

Fractured

Bill Haley

© Myers Music, BMI

Fractured Fractured
That music fractures me

When I was just a little kid
A real gone beat did flip my lid
But now I'm older and a little bit bolder
I'm gone gone gotta keep going

And I'm fractured Fractured
That music fractures me

It tears me up and it knocks me down
Makes my head go around and round
I close my eyes so I can't see
Whenever that music fractures me

I'm fractured Fractured
That music fractures me

Now when that band gets in the groove
Me and my chick we start to move
Rockin' to the left and a-rockin' to the right
A-rompin' and a stompin' all day and all night

And I'm fractured Fractured
That music fractures me

Go

Now when they holler that "go go go"
You can't be fast and you can't be slow
Pick up your feet and you follow on through
Doin' whatever you want to do

You're fractured Fractured
That music fractures me

Stop Beatin' Around The Mulberry Bush

Bill Haley

© Myers Music, BMI

Stop beatin' round the mulberry bush
The mulberry bush
The mulberry bush
Stop beatin' round the mulberry bush
Come out and say you love me

Stop beatin' round the mulberry bush
The mulberry bush
Oh the mulberry bush
Stop beatin' round the mulberry bush
When there's a moon above me

This is the way to win my heart
Win my heart
Win my heart
Better begin before we part
Blue and boogying harder

Stop beatin' round the mulberry bush
The mulberry bush
Oh the mulberry bush
Stop beatin' round the mulberry bush
Come out and say you love me

Stop beatin' round the mulberry bush
Oh the mulberry bush
Oh the mulberry bush
Stop beatin' round the mulberry bush
Come out and say you love me

Stop beatin' round the mulberry bush
Oh the mulberry bush
Oh the mulberry bush
Stop beatin' round the mulberry bush
Come out and say you love me

Stop beatin' round the mulberry bush
The mulberry bush
Oh the mulberry bush
Stop beatin' round the mulberry bush
When there's a moon above me

Better begin to rock the joint
Rock the joint
Rock the joint
You better begin to rock the joint
Rock it for my baby

Stop beatin' round the mulberry bush
Oh the mulberry bush
Oh the mulberry bush
Stop beatin' round the mulberry bush
Come out and say you love me

Come out
And say
You love me

Dance With A Dolly (With A Hole In Her Stockin')

Bill Haley

© Myers Music, BMI

As I was walkin' down the street
Down the street down the street
I met somebody who was mighty sweet
Mighty fair to see

I asked her if she'd stop and talk
Stop and talk stop and talk
All the guys standin' on the walk
Just wishin' they were me:

Mama mama let me dress up tonight
Dress up tonight dress up tonight
I've got a secret gonna 'fess up tonight
Gonna dance by the light of the moon

Gonna dance with a dolly with a hole in her stockin'
While our knees keep a-knockin' and our toes keep a-rockin'
Dance with a dolly with a hole in her stockin'
Dance by the light of the moon

Mama mama put the cat out tonight
Cat out tonight cat out tonight
Worked all day I'm gonna scat out tonight
And I won't be home until dawn

Gonna dance with a Dolly with a hole in her stockin'
While our knees keep a knockin' and our toes keep a rockin'
Dance with a dolly with a hole in her stockin'
Dance by the light of the moon

Gonna dance by the light of the moon
Dance by the light of the moon
By the light of the moon
