Ich will keine Schokolade

Ich lebe unerhört solide und habe nie ein Rendezvous
Ich gehe höchstens mit den Eltern ein Stück spazieren ab und zu
Mein Vater sagt so muss das bleiben und dafür schenkt er mir Konfekt
Doch neulich platzte mir der Kragen, weil mir Konfekt nun mal nicht schmeckt

Ref:
Ich will keine Schokolade
Ich will lieber eine Frau
Ich will eine, die mich lieb hat
Wenn ich in ihre Augen schau‘

Ich hatte neulich grad Geburtstag und diesen Tag vergess' ich nie
Denn alle Tanten und Verwandten waren mit von der Partie
Sie brachten Rosen und Narzissen und Schokolade zentnerschwer
Da hat's mich plötzlich fortgerissen ich schrie: "Ich will das Zeug nicht mehr!“

Ich kaufte Sonntag auf dem Rummel für 20 Pfenning mir ein Los
Ich hab auch wirklich was gewonnen doch die Enttäuschung die war groß
Denn ich gewann dort einen Teddy aus Schokolad' und Marzipan
Den schmiss' ich wütend in die Menge und schrie den Losverkäufer an

Moonshine Rock

Ref:
It’s the moonshine rock
The moon shines bright and now I’m ready to rock

Well, my baby and me walking through the park
The moon shines bright and it is not dark
My baby gives me her little hand
Hey, I wanna be your loving man

Well, my baby and me walking through the street
That’s a crazy feeling and that’s what I need
She runs her fingers around my neck
C’mon in my car and we will drive back

Well, my baby and me walking through the town
I have a certain feeling goin’ to be her little clown
My honey gives me a very hot kiss
That’s what I need and I won’t miss

Well, my baby and me driving up that hill
We’re lying in the grass and the time stands still
My baby tells me that she loves me so
Well, I feel alright – now: Go! Go! Go!

Something I Said

Hey, was it something I said
Made you feeling blue
You know that I love you
Hey, was it something I said

Was it something I said
Did I make you cry
I didn't tell you no lie
Was it something I said

When I'm with you-you-you
you oughta tell all them blues to sh-sh, sh-sh-sh
You oughta be snappy, lookin' real happy
But something's wrong, hey

What's the matter with something I said
Have I made you blue
You know that I love you
Was it something I said

Boppin' Bee

Well, I woke up this morning and felt so ill
Went to my doctor to get me some pills
The doctor looked at me and said o-wee
Son, You need a sting from the Boppin' Bee

He gave me the address of the Boppin' Bee
And I took the next train down to Tennessee
When I stood in front of her, face to face
Man, she really shooked me all over the place

Ref:
Boppin' Bee, Boppin' Bee, sting me
She makes me lose my mind
I drank forty cups of coffee, smoked a hundred cigarettes
And then she came to love me in her used-out bed
Well, I can't live no longer without her magic touch
She got me from the start and now I love her much to much

I’m A Cat

I got a ’58 Chevy, blue and white
A big blonde babe with a pair of rollin’ eyes

Ref:
‘Cause I’m a cat (a cat from head to feet)
I’m a cat (jumpin’ to the Bee-Bop beat)
I’m a cat (one thing more I got to say)
Just go right outta my way

I’m givin’ no pardon for steppin’ on my shoes
Everyone knows I’ve got the bluedy-bluedy Blues

I got pink pegged slacks and the blackest shades in town
And when it comes to boppin’ you can bet that I’m around

There’s nothing more I gotta say

Pretty Little Girls
Last time I had bad luck when I met a little girl
It was on my trip to Italy, she was sittin’ there in misery
I plugged up my courage, asked her for a dance
She was tall, oh man!
Oh pretty little girl, pretty little girl
You’re as fat as a big bass drum

Next thing I wanna tell ya about some days in France
She was the star of Paris’s scene, she was dancing like a disco queen
It seemed so clear to be her cavalier
We never had a chance
Oh pretty litlle girl, pretty little girl
She didn’t speak German, I didn’t speak French

Ref:
Pretty little girls on my mind…

This year I made another trip it lead me to Spain
I never wanna fall in love again, but i reached my aim
I had a good time
And I whispered in your ears “Baby, I love you”
Pretty litlle girl, pretty little girl
Your love wasn’t true

The Train Kept A Rollin’

I caught a train, I met a dame
She was a hepster and a real gone dame 
She was pretty, from New York City
And we trucked on down that old fair lane
With a heave and a ho, well, I just couldn't let her go

Get along, creepy little woman
Get along, well, be on your way
Get along, creepy little woman
Get along, well, be on your way
With a heave and a ho, well, I just couldn't let her go

Ref:
Well, the train kept a-rollin all night long
The train kept a-rollin all night long
The train kept me movin' all night long
The train kept a-rollin all night long
With a heave and a ho, well, I just couldn't let her go

We made a stop in Albuquerque
She must of thought that I was a real gone jerk
We got off the train at El Paso
Our lovin was so good, Jack, I couldn't let her go
Get along, well, I just couldn't let her go

Sternenhimmel

Mit dir in der Südsee steh'n, in den Abendhimmel seh'n
Guter Mond am Firmament spür', wie meine Sehnsucht brennt
Oh, komm Czigan spiel' für uns allein
die Melodie brauch' ich zum glücklich sein

Ref:
Ich seh‘ den Sternenhimmel
Kaum fühl' ich erste Triebe, kommt auch schon die große Liebe
Doch in meinem kleinen Herz spür' ich diesen tiefen Schmerz
Oh, ihr Sterne lasst mich nicht allein
Oh, Sterne, kann denn Liebe Sünde sein?

Listen to your mama and you never will regret it
And if anybody wonders you can tell them that I said it
The only thing I know is that I never can forget ya
I've been longin' for ya, Baby, ever since the day I met ya
I got ya where I want ya and I'm never gonna let ya get away from me

Hear what I tell ya
I'm the man for you and so you'd better start to face it
If you ever lose my love, you know you can't replace it
I think it's time for you to start to give me some lovin'
Carryin' a torch for you that's hotter than an oven
It's time for you to give me a little bit of lovin'
Baby, hold me tight and do what I tell you

Legend of Boppin’ B

My name is Markus, I was born in Germany with a screaming voice they say
I grew up in A’burg, studied in Vienna, still I’m looking for a place to stay
I was searching for some good musicians when a wise man crossed my way
He said “Son, if you need some real gone cats you gotta go to the USA”

Ref:
So here I go
Travelin’ down some lonesome roads
I got no money in my pocket
And the dust is achin’ in my swollen throat

Well, I entered the airplane and ten hours later I landed in Houston-Town
As a stowaway I landed in jail, but that couldn’t bring me down
In prison I met two real cool cats, they said “Welcome to the USA”
It was a guitar picker and a saxophone tricker searching for a band to stay
Golo and Frank, they’ve robbed a bank, now they offered me an ice-cold beer
I said “OK boys, let’s drink that beer and then let’s get out of here”

We formed a trio but we realized we need a slapping bass backing us
So we went to Georgia and Alabama with a 16-wheeler and a Greyhound bus
Suddenly down in New Orleans we met a cotton-picking boy
He said “Hello cats, my name is Fats and I really bring you joy”
It was sometimes later that we realized it was a baker called Didi
But he slapped the bass with a poker face and here is Boppin’ B

Back in Germany the Boppin’ B hitchhiked on a lonely street
When a cat in a Beetle picked us up, it was the well-known Tom “the Beat”
He said “OK cats, I dig that sound, I got the only snare around
And if we wanna see our name in lights, we gotta drive to A’burg-Town”
So we  went to A’burg and became as well-known as the famous Jerry Lee
And now my story comes to an end, ’cause the rest is history

Ref:
No more we go
Walking down some lonesome roads
Got lots of money in our pockets
And the dust is no more achin’ in our throats

I’m Still Lovin’ You

I don’t know why you leave me
I don’t know where you go
I don’t know what I’ve done to you
I don’t know what happened
But I’m tryin’ to understand that I’m alone
Now I realize that you are gone

Ref:
And I’m cryin’, yes, I’m cryin’
Tears to last days
And all I can say
I’m still lovin’ you

I’m dreaming of you
Day-in, day-out
And every thought in my head
Turns around you
What can I do that you will come back
Why did you leave me, where did you go

I wanna hold you, every night
I wanna feel you, every night
I wanna love you, every night
I need you baby, more than you know

Into The Mood

C’mon let’s have a party on the high school yard tonight
Let’s all get together and everything’s gonna be alright

Ref:
C’mon, let’s all get wild
C’mon, let’s jump for joy
C’mon, let’s feel real good
Gettin’ into the mood

Bring your jumpin’ jivin’ records, because we gotta bop
Feeling the great rhythm from the bottom to the top

Drinkin’ wine spo-de-o-de
And get your dog-gone kicks
Jumping like a monkey
And Kissing all the chicks

We don’t care about tomorrow, tonight we’re having fun
Old folks say we’re evil, but we are only young

I’m So Excited

Tonight's the night we're gonna make it happen
Tonight we'll put all other things aside
Give in this time and show me some affection
We're going for those pleasures in the night

I want to love you, feel you
Wrap myself around you
I want to squeeze you, please you
I just can't get enough
And if you move real slow I'll let it go

Ref:
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it
And I know, I know, I know, I know
I know I want you

We shouldn't even think about tomorrow
Sweet memories will last a long, long time
We'll have a good time baby, don't you worry
And if we're still playing 'round, that's just fine

Look what you do to me - you got me burning up

Do You Know

Every morning I wake up with teardrops in my eyes
And I sit and wonder why you had to say good-bye
Do you know how it aches when a lovin’ heart breaks

I always got to dream of the happy hours we’ve had
The lucky days we’ve seen they’re now hurtin’ me so bad
Do you know how it aches when a lovin’ heart breaks

I smoke cigarettes all day and all night I’m goin’ to drown
My sorrows at the whiskey bar ‘til I have a little - nervous breakdown

Please, listen to my plea, come back my love to me
‘Cause I’ll do you right, every morning, every night
Do you know how it aches when a lovin’ heart breaks

Psychotic City

Psychotic City don’t you see
You got your sunlight from TV
And when I walk your streets so restless
I gotta ask myself a question
Where do we go?

Junky rivers flowing through my town
Dead fish is smelling in the streets and all around
Victims in the dark are sighing
At times of sex and crime
Where do we go?

You know on politics we never had a look
Didn’t read newspapers instead of comic books
And that’s why we are guilty, too
What to do, I wish I knew
Where do we go?

Dim, Dim The Lights

Oh, what a crazy party, all the gang's here, too
The beat is really jumping like a kangaroo
I'm full of cherry soda and potato chips
But now I wanna get a taste of your sweet lips

Ref:
So, dim, dim the lights
Dim, dim the lights
Turn down the lights
I want some atmosphere

The furniture is bouncing round the room with glee
And rocking like a boat upon a stormy sea
But dig the crazy clock, it's running wild tonight
But still I haven't had a chance to hold you tight

Look at Annie's earrings bouncing off her back
Look at Suzie kissing and a-hugging Jack
Look at Nancy dancing in her stocking feet
We're all going crazy with the mambo beat

But everybody's really having lots of fun
But, Honey, as for me the night has just begun
'Cause now I wanna tell you things and hold you tight
But how can I do it with the room so bright

Big Eyed Girl

Well, I know a big-eyed girl down-town
When she starts rockin’ she messes around
Smashes out windows, knocks down doors
Those cats all join her singin’ the chorus

Ref:
Well, hop, skip, bop the blues – tonight we’ll mess around
Hop, skip, bop the blues – goin’ round and round
Big-eyed girl is tearin’ up this town

Big-eyed girl is rhythm-bound
She really digs that crazy sound
C’mon let another nickel drop
These cats all wanna see her doin’ the bop

Saturday night, she’s the queen of the scene
Though she’s got only faded blue-jeans
But when Monday morning breaks you can
See her sittin’ tame in class again
