(I'm Your) Hoochie Coochie Man

The gypsy woman told my mother
Before I was born
I got a boy child's comin'
He's gonna be a son of a gun
He gonna make pretty womens
Jump and shout
Then the world wanna know
What this all about
But you know I'm him
Everybody knows I'm him
Well you know I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm him
I got a black cat bone
I got a mojo too
I got the Johnny conkeroo
I'm gonna mess with you
I'm gonna make you girls
Lead me by my hand
Then the world will know
The hoochie coochie man
But you know I'm him
Everybody knows I'm him
Oh you know I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm him
On the seventh hours
On the seventh day
On the seventh month
The seven doctors say
He was born for good luck
And that you'll see
I got seven hundred dollars
Don't you mess with me
But you know I'm him
Everybody knows I'm him
Well you know I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm him

Captain America

Can you tell me where i might find my friend and companion
Now he looks a little different from anything you've seen
He likes to beat the bass drum for justice and salvation
He's got the brains of einstein and the brawn of mister clean

He's a lightnin' flash who'll make the dash from one coast to the other
To stop a crime or lend a dime or help his aging mother
Captain america we love you, captain america you're grand
Oh spiro agnew eat your heart out captain america's our man

Now he wears a mask his clothes are weird and some folks call him hokie
But he is hip he just can't dig the okie from muskogie

Captain will help anyone a friend or a stranger
Now number one without a gun he's bypassed the lone ranger
He's a do do good who loves apple pie and kisses little babies
He'll guard you against everything from atom bombs to rabies

Captain america we love you, captain america you're grand
Oh spiro agnew eat your heart out captain america's our man

Can you tell me where i might find my friend and companion
He looks a little different from anything you've seen
He likes to beat the bass drum for justice and salvation
He's got the brains of einstein and the bod of mister clean

He's a lightnin' flash who'll make the dash from one coast to the other
To stop a crime or lend a dime or help his aging mother
Captain america we love you, captain america you're grand
Oh spiro agnew eat your heart out captain america's our man
Captain america's our man


Get Off Of My Cloud

I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block
And i sit at home looking out the window
Imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up like a union jack
And says, i've won five pounds if i have his kind of detergent pack

I say, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud baby

The telephone is ringing,
I say, "hi, it's me. who is it there on the line?"
A voice says, "hi, hello, how are you?"
Well, i guess i'm doin' fine
He says, "it's three a.m., there's too much noise
Don't you people ever wanna go to bed?
Just 'cause you feel so good, do you have
To drive me out of my head?"
I say, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud baby

I was sick and tired, fed up with this,
And decided to take a drive downtown
It was so very quiet and peaceful
There was nobody, not a soul around
I laid myself out, i was so tired and i started to dream
In the morning the parking tickets were just like
A flag stuck on my window screen

I say, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud

Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd

But her mama drives her crazy, every day and night

Key To The Highway

've got the key to the highway,
Packed up and bound to go.
I'm gonna leave here running,
Cause walking is most too slow.

I'm going back down to the border
Where i must fairly go(?)
Cause you ain't done nothing but
Drive a good man away from home.

So give me one more, one more kiss, baby
Just before i go
I'll be back out on the highway,
That's the only place i know.

And when the moon creeps over my room, honey,
I'll be on my way.
I'm gonna roam this old highway
Until the break of day.

Chorus.

Well, its so long, so long, baby.
I must say goodbye.
I gotta roam, roam this highway
Until the day i die.

Vissza/Back
