Brian Setzer Orchestra Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.This Cat's On A Hot Tin Roof (Brian Setzer Orchestra)

Lyricist:Brian Setzer

This cat's on a hot tin roof
Drinkin' that whiskey, 96 proof
Don't need no doctor, don't feel no pain
My legs are just two steps ahead of my brain

This cat's on a hot tin roof
This cat's gonna shake it loose
This cat don't get the blues
'Cause this cat's shakin' on a hot tin roof

This cat's been out on the town
I'm the cat's meow, I'm the king with a crown
My head is spinnin' and I got the shakes
I can't stop now 'cause I got no brakes

This cat's on a hot tin roof
This cat's gonna shake it loose
This cat don't get the blues
'Cause this cat's shakin' on a hot tin roof

There ain't no point in holdin' me down
I'll kick and I'll scratch and I'll howl
Hey, hound dog, get outta my way
'Cause this cat is on the prowl

This cat's on a hot tin roof
Jumpin' up and down like a long neck goose
Shimmy and shake, baby, you can't fail
Rockin' so hard that it's off the scale

This cat's on a hot tin roof
This cat's gonna shake it loose
This cat don't get the blues
'Cause this cat's shakin' on a hot tin roof


2.Drive Like Lightnin' (Crash Like Thunder)

Lyricist:Brian Setzer, Mark Winchester

I'm gonna take my baby on a little joy ride
She'll be ghost-white pale, sittin' by my side
Shakin' like a leaf and it ain't no wonder
Drive like lightnin', crash like thunder

I'm gonna race with the devil, speedin' down the track
And if he beats me to the line, I ain't a-comin' back
You ain't worth nothin' when you're six feet under
Drive like lightnin', crash like thunder

Drive like lightning, crash like thunder
Ain't worth nothin' when your six feet under
All wrapped up in hot chrome and steel
Drag my body behind the wheel

Got a pair of dice swingin' in my Detroit casket
I got a rabbit foot hangin' from my black leather jacket
We won't get out alive so it ain't no wonder
Drive like lightnin', crash like thunder

Baby please try to understand, I'm just a little speck of dust
Blowin' in the sand, we won't get out alive
So why should we wonder
Drive like lightnin', crash like thunder


3.The Footloose Doll

Lyricist:Brian Robert Setzer

Just look at that chick in the silvery dress
She's got a cool tattoo and her hair is a mess
And every single guy in the joint
Is just watching her dance

Well now dance ballerina, shimmy on down
It's your turn to swing
It's your night on the town
A little gin goes a long way so please pass it around

She's the footloose doll
Dancin' like a hurricane
She's the footloose doll
Well, I don't even know her name

She's the footloose doll
She's the footloose doll

Now standin' at the bar was long cool Eddie
He had a few and he's not really steady
But he had his peepers
Fixated on the footloose doll

But she called out, 'Hey Eddie', he was there in an instant
She said, 'You know you kinda look like Gene Vincent'
That was all he needed to hear
And that was all she wrote

But she's the footloose doll
Dancin' like a hurricane
She's the footloose doll
Well, I don't even know her name

She's the footloose doll
She's the footloose doll

Now if you're ever in town and wanna try your luck
The footloose doll can really shake you up
But never underestimate
The power of the feline cat

Well, they found poor Eddie by the side of the road
His clothes were all torn up
And his car had been towed
He never had a chance with a chick like the footloose doll

She's the footloose doll
Dancin' like a hurricane
She's the footloose doll
I don't even know her name

She's the footloose doll
Dancin' like a hurricane
She's the footloose doll
Well, I don't even know her name

She's the footloose doll
She's the footloose doll
Well, she's the footloose doll
She's the footloose doll


4.Jukebox

Lyricist:Brian R Setzer

Well, I've been up all night just singin'
This same old song, song, song
And I can't get through my head
That man she's gone, gone, gone

I'm pushin' all the buttons
But one thing is for sure
That jukebox just won't
Play my song no more

Well, I've been lovin' that little gal
Now for so long, long, long
But that jukebox never said
She'd do me wrong, wrong, wrong

But I dropped in all my money
Now, it just don't seem right
That jukebox just won't play
My song tonight

Oh jukebox, bring my baby back to me
Ain't had no real good lovin'
And I'm drownin' in misery

Well, the records keep on playin'
But my poor heart won't stop sayin'
Jukebox, bring my baby back to me

And just look at all those pretty lights
A shine, shine, shine
Jukebox, don't you know
That girl is mine, mine, mine?

Well, I polished all your chrome
And I dusted off your glass
Oh jukebox, bring my baby home at last

Oh jukebox, bring my baby back to me
Ain't had no real good lovin'
And I'm drownin' in misery

Well, the records keep on playin'
But my poor heart won't stop sayin'
Jukebox, bring my baby back to me, oh

And just look at all those pretty lights
A shine, shine, shine
Jukebox, don't you know
That girl is mine, mine, mine?

Well, I polished all your chrome
And I dusted off your glass
Jukebox, bring my baby home at last

Oh jukebox, bring my baby back to me
Ain't had no real good lovin'
And I'm drownin' in misery

Well, the records keep on playin'
But my poor heart won't stop sayin'
Jukebox, bring my baby back
Jukebox, bring my baby back
Jukebox, bring my baby back to me


5.This Ole House

Lyricist:Stuart Hamblen

This old house once knew its children
This old house once knew its wife
This old house was home and comfort
As they fought the storms of life

This old house once rang with laughter
This old house heard many shouts
Now it trembles in the darkness
When the lightning walks about

Ain't gonna need this house no longer
Ain't gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window pain
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
He's getting ready to meet the saints

This old house is gettin' shaky
This old house is gettin' old
This old house has seen the rain
This old house has seen the cold
Oh his knees are gettin' chilly
But he feels no fear or pain
'Cause he sees an angel peepin'
Through a broken window pane

Ain't gonna need this house no longer
Ain't gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window pain
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
He's getting ready to meet the saints

This old house is gettin' shaky
This old house is gettin' old
This old house has seen the rain
This old house has seen the cold
Oh his knees are gettin' chilly
But he feels no fear or pain
'Cause he sees an angel peepin'
Through a broken window pane

Ain't gonna need this house no longer
Ain't gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window pain
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
He's getting ready to meet the saints

He's getting ready to meet the saints

7.You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch

Lyricist:Theo Seuss Geisel, Albert Hague

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch
You really are a heel
You're as cuddly as a cactus
You're slippery as an eel, Mr. Grinch

You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel

You're a monster, Mr. Grinch
Your heart's an empty hole
Your brain is full of spiders
You've got garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch

I wouldn't touch you
With a thirty nine and a half foot pole

You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch
You have termites in your smile
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch

Given the choice between the two of you
I'd take the seasick crocodile

Take it Mr. Grinch

You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch
You're the king of sinful sots
Your heart's a dead tomato splotched
With moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch

Your soul is an appalling dump heap
Overflowing with the most disgraceful
Assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable
Mangled up in tangled up knots

Mr. Grinch


8.Angels We Have Heard On High

Lyricist:Traditional

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing over the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains

Gloria in Excelsis Deo
Gloria in Excelsis Deo

Come to Bethlehem and see
He, whose birth, the angels sing
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the newborn King

Gloria in Excelsis Deo
Gloria in Excelsis Deo


9.Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Lyricist:Sammy Cahn, Jule Styne

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
Let it snow!

The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bying
As long as you love me so
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Would you take me by the hand?

And I'll be there
To shine in your Japan
To sparkle in your China
Yes I'll be there

12.Winter Wonderland

Lyricist:Felix Bernard, Richard B Smith

Sleigh bells ring, hey are you listenin'?
In the lane snow is glistenin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, 'Are you married?', we'll say 'No, man
But you can do the job when you're in town'

Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down

When it snows, ain't it thrillin'
Though your nose gets a chillin'
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Put on your jacket
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Walkin' in a winter wonderland


13.Jingle Bells

Lyricist:Ray Hermann, Brian Setzer

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a '57 Chevrolet

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way

Bells on bobtail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Jingle bells, jingle jingle
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a '57 Chevrolet

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing

Bells on bobtail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Jingle bells, jingle jingle
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a '57 Chevrolet

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh


14.From Here to Eternity

Lyricist:Rick Bell, Brian Setzer

I know you're not that kind of girl
To ever lose her cool
I know you've thought about it, over and over
Thinking that I was a fool

You know I'm not that kind of guy
I never plan things out
You know I've thought about you, over and over
Never a trace of doubt

I finally got that road we're on
Mapped out

We're on the road from here to eternity
The world is ours as far as we can see
We're hopping star to star through the galaxy, we're flyin' high
Let the world pass us by from here to eternity

You know that I wanted to see you again
If just to say hello
You know I tried to call you, over and over
I finally think that I know, I know

I know you're just that kinda girl
You need to work things out
You know I've thought about you, over and over
Never a trace of doubt

Well, I finally got that road we're on
Mapped out

We're on the road from here to eternity
The world is ours as far as we can see
We're hopping star to star through the galaxy, we're flyin' high
Let the world pass us by from here to eternity

Stray cat strut, I'm a ladies cat
Well I'm a feline Casanova, hey man, that's that
Get a shoe thrown at me from a mean old man
Get my dinner from a garbage can

I don't bother chasin' mice around
I slink down the alley, lookin' for a fight
Howlin' to the moonlight on a hot summer night

Singin' the blues while the lady-cats cry
Wow, stray cat, you're a real gone guy
I wish I could be as carefree and wild
But I got cat class and I got cat style

I don't bother chasin' mice around
I slink down the alley, lookin' for a fight
Howlin' to the moonlight on a hot summer night

But I got cat class and I got cat style, stray cat

Lyricist:Leon Drucker, James Mcdonnell, Brian Setzer

There's a rumble in Brighton tonight

There's the rockabilly cats with their pomps real high
Wearin' black drape coats, real gone guys
Cool skinheads with their rolled-up jeans
Lookin' real tough and mighty mean

There's a rumble in Brighton tonight
Ringside seats for the neighborhood fight
There ain't a damn thing that the cops can do
There's a rumble in Brighton tonight

They sew fishhooks under their collars
They got razors in their shoes
I said, 'Go cat go' Their battle cry
World War III is startin' to brew

Now, the skinheads all use blackjacks
And they're lookin' mighty mean
They got chains wrapped around their fingers
And their heads are shaven clean

There's a rumble in Brighton tonight
Ringside seats for the neighborhood fight
There ain't a damn thing that the cops can do
There's a rumble in Brighton tonight

Well, there ain't a man left standin'
So let's all go get a beer
No team is a winner
So we'll see you all next year

There's a rumble in Brighton tonight
Ringside seats for the neighborhood fight
There ain't a damn thing that the cops can do
There's a rumble in Brighton tonight

Rumble in Brighton tonight
Rumble on the beach tonight
Rumble in Brighton tonight
Rumble on the beach tonight

There ain't a damn thing that the cops can do
Line right up for a sideline view
Ringside seats for the neighborhood fight
There's a rumble in Brighton tonight


22.Mack the Knife

Lyricist:Marc Blitzstein, Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Weill

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And he shows them, pearly white
Just a jack knife has old Macheath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight

And when the shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, though wears old Macheath, dear
So there's never, there's never a trace of red

On the sidewalk, Sunday morning
Lies a body just oozing life
Someone's sneaking 'round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

There's a tugboat down by the river
Don't you know? With cement bags drooping down
Well that cement is just
It's meant for the weight, dear
Five will get you ten, Mackie's back in town

Here about Louie Miller, he disappeared now
After drawing out all of his hard earned cash
And now Macheath spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done something rash?

Jenny Diver, Sukey Tawdry
Look out Miss Lawdie Lenya and Old Lucy Brown
That line forms on the right, babe
Now that Mackie's back in town

See Jenny Diver, Sukey Tawdry
Look out Miss Lawdie Lenya and Old Lucy Brown
Well that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Mackie's back in town

Lookout, Ol' Mackie's back
Give him the real thing


23.Boogie Woogie Santa Claus

Well look here Jack
There's something down the track
He's got rhythm in his feet

Well he lives up in a mountain
Like a hermit in the cave
He never had a haircut

Comes this time every Christmas day

Well it's rock rock rock Mr. Santa
Jump jump jump Mr. Santa

We're gonna jump for joy
On the Christmas morn

25.Baby It's Cold Outside

Lyricist:Frank Loesser

I really can't stay, but baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away, baby it's cold outside
This evening has been, been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice, I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice

My mother will start to worry, hey beautiful, what's your hurry
Daddy will be pacing the floor, listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry, oh, beautiful, please don't hurry
Well maybe just a half a drink more, well put some records on
while I pour

The neighbors might think, yeah but it's bad out there
Hey, what's in this drink, no cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how, your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell, I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

I ought to say no, no, no, sir, mind if I move a little closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried, what's the sense in hurting
my pride
I really can't stay, don't hold out
Ah, but baby, it's cold outside

I simply must go, baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no, but baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been, how lucky you dropped in
So nice and warm, just look out the window, baby look at that
storm

My sister will be suspicious, gosh your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door and waves upon a tropical
shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious, gosh your lips are delicious
Well, maybe just a few minutes more more, never such a blizzard
before

I've got to get home, but, baby, you gonna freeze out there
Hey, I need a comb, it's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand, I'm thrilled when you touch my hand
But don't you see, how can you do this thing to me?

There's bound to be talk tomorrow, when you think of my life
long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied, if you caught pneumonia
and died
I really can't stay, get over that old out
Ah, but baby, it's cold outside


26.Guitar Slinger

Lyricist:John Mellor, Brian Setzer

They kicked us out for playing too loud
I carried my amp out through the crowd
Some chick took a beer and threw it in my face
But I kept right on walking

Outside it was warm
There was a good crowd on the strip
We set our stuff down and had a smoke
Like we was waiting for a ride

And all the while I was thinking
You gotta keep moving in a mean, mean town
It's better going nowhere than just standing around
By tomorrow morning I'll be leaving town
I'll go any place but I ain't going down

Now I called Shorty and Lefty
There was a bassman called Beans
So we split to nail a rumor
About some work in New Orleans

A twenty fed the tank
Two bucks fed the band
Maybe we could make it
Down in jambalaya band

In a Meade Lux Lewis bar
That's where we found the job
Knocking tinpan out for tips
Mostly from the mob

Said okay we'll take it
When they're drunk, we'll play the blues
We'll get some shirts from the islands
And some Cuban rock 'n' roll shoes

And all the while I was thinking
You gotta keep moving in a mean, mean town
It's better going nowhere than just standing around
By tomorrow morning I'll be leaving town
I'll go anyplace but I ain't going down

But when we played the lost highway
A juice head said, we was hicks
And the whole bar began to beat us
With pool half sticks

They got the radio out of the car
They must have used a bomb
But when we piled in and gunned her
She still sang the sweetest sung

Lefty woke among the bottles
Said North he could not come
We left him on canal street
Trading in his drums

I saw Elvis hitchhiking
Out on the interstate
And Beans was getting paranoid
About our California plates

And all the while I was thinking
You gotta keep moving in a mean mean town
It's better going nowhere than just standing around
By tomorrow morning I'll be leaving town
I'll go anyplace but I ain't going down

A cruiser pulled us over
Right across the line
Booked us in as vagrants
In holding tank number nine

You learn how to flat pick
When you're looking at a forty four
You do the orange blossom special
Till the peel falls on the floor

The bassman had a bust
From back home in a raid
So it was just me and Shorty
Standing on main parade

We liquidized our assets
In a bar and did not talk
Then we hopped a non stop greyhound
To the big bad beauty of New York

I woke up on twenty third street
As he backed into the slot
I saw that me and Shorty
Had been robbed of what we got

Then a guy said through the window
This is the end of the line
I said, brother, I'm a guitar slinger
And this is just doing fine


27.Brand New Cadillac

Lyricist:Vince Taylor

My baby drove up in a brand new Cadillac
I said, 'My baby drove up in a brand new Cadillac'
She said, 'Listen to me daddy
I ain't never comin' back'

Baby, baby, won't you hear my plea
C'mon, sugar just hear my plea
She said, 'Balls to you daddy'
She ain't comin' back to me

Baby, baby, won't you hear my plea
C'mon, sugar just hear my plea
She said, 'Balls to you daddy'
She ain't comin' back to me

My Cadillac pulls up about ninety-five
I said, 'My Cadillac pulls up about ninety-five'
She said, 'Get a grip, baby
You won't take me out alive'

My baby drove up in a brand new Cadillac
I said, 'Jesus, baby, where did you get the Cadillac?'
She said, 'Balls to you daddy'
I ain't never comin' back

Ain't never comin' back
I ain't never comin' back
Ain't never comin' back
Ain't never comin' back


28.(Everytime I Hear) That Mellow Saxaphone

Lyricist:R Blackwell, J Marascalco, R Montrell

I wanna mambo, sambo, do my number
Hold my baby all the summer
Every time I hear that mellow saxophone

I wanna rip it, rock it, really bop it
Flip it, flop it, Davy Crockett
Every time I hear that mellow saxophone

I wanna rock, rock, rock
Roll, roll, roll
Bop bop bop

I wanna rip it, rock it, really bop it
Whoa, Davy Crockett
Every time I hear that mellow saxophone

I wanna rock, rock, rock
Roll, roll, roll

29.Gettin' in the Mood

Lyricist:Joseph Garland, Mike Himelstein, Brian Setzer

Come on baby

I jump into my rocket 'cause I'm ready to blast
I don't know where I'm going but I'm going there fast
Tonight there ain't no future and there isn't a past
We'll make it like the first time so it won't be the last
All I wanna do is everything that you ask
Don't you know I'm really gettin' in the mood

Got the jitter fingers and they're ready to pop
When I get to groovin' ain't no way I can stop
Baby when we get there then we're just gonna hop
Got to ride the feeling baby straight to the top
Girl you make my heart start beatin' flippity-flop
Baby, can't you tell I'm getting' in the mood

(In the mood)
The joint is jumpin'
(In the groove)
We're onto something
(In the mood)
The band is pumpin'
Swingin' and swayin' and a-rock and rollin'

Come on now
We're gonna party
(I know how)
Yeah, to get it started
(In the mood)
I'm good to boogie
Blow that jiving music now

Come on, come on
Come on, come on, baby

And when the party's over I just know where to go
Where the after hours people boogie you know
I wanna hang a while where the lights are real low
And whisper to my baby and be takin' it slow
And baby if you're ready then I'm ready to blow
Baby, now I'm really getting in the mood

(In the mood)
How the joint is jumpin'
(In the groove)

Ho ho, I'm good to boogie
Blow that jiving music now

I got on my best threads and my favorite shoes
Now it's my time to play got no love for the blues
Understand what I'm sayin' or you better get back
Got no time to waste 'cause I'm one hep cat

And when I start a-workin' I cruise like Dyna flow
And when I'm in the mood I spread it all around
I might the be man, want his party on the run
And when you see me comin' just call me Big King Fun

When the party's over I just know where to go
Where the after hours people boogie you know
I wanna hang a while where the lights are low
And whisper to my baby and be takin' it slow
Baby, if your ready then I'm ready to blow
(Let's blow)

(In the mood)
Yeah the joint is jumpin'
(In the groove)
Girl, we're onto something

Man, the band is pumpin'
Swingin' and swayin' and a-rock and rollin'

Yeah, to get it started
(In the mood)
Come on! I'm good to boogie
Blow that jiving music now

I'm in the mood

31.A Nightingale Sang In Berkley Square

Lyricist:Eric Maschwitz, Manning Sherwin

That certain night, the night we met
There was magic abroad in the air
There were angels dining at the Ritz
And a nightingale sang in Berkley Square

I may be right, I may be wrong
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkley Square

The moon that lingered over London town
Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown
How could he know we two were so in love
The whole darn world seemed upside down

The streets of town were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kissed and said goodnight
A nightingale sang in Berkley Square

How strange it was, how sweet and strange
There was never a dream to compare
With that hazy, crazy, night we met
When a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square

This heart of mine beat loud and fast
Like a merry-go-round in a fair
For we were dancing cheek to cheek
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square

When dawn came stealing up all gold and blue
To interrupt our rendezvous
I still remember how you smiled and said
â½Was that a dream or was it true?â

Our homeward step was just as light
As the dancing feet of Astaire
And like an echo far away
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square


32.White Christmas

Lyricist:Irving Berlin

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days, may your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
Here I go, here I go

And I'm dreaming
And I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

Let's hear it, that's it

Well, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days, may your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

White Christmas, white Christmas
White Christmas, white Christmas
White Christmas, white Christmas
White Christmas, white Christmas

White Christmas, white Christmas
White Christmas, white Christmas
White Christmas, white Christmas


33.'49 Mercury Blues

Lyricist:Brian Setzer

Broken down on the side of the road
Damn brakes locked up in the rain
Smoke's pourin' out from under the hood
Stuck on the highway again

I'm too young to quit
Too old to change
Baby, what am I gonna do?
I got the chopped top, slammed down
'49 mercury blues

Can't find a phone, can't hitch a ride
Who would stop for me, anyway?
You would think that after all of
These cars I've owned, I'd break down and join triple A

I'm too young to quit
I'm too old to change
Baby, what am I gonna do?
We got the chopped top, slammed down
'49 mercury blues

I got the '49 mercury blues
By now you'd think I've paid all my dues
Just think of all the trouble
That car is puttin' me through

Well, I guess like a tooth that needs to get filled
It's gonna hurt and you're gonna get drilled
And once you get it fixed, it happens all over again

I'm too young to quit
I'm too old to change
Baby, what am I gonna do?
I got the chopped top, slammed down
'49 mercury blues, oh yeah

I got the '49 mercury blues
By now you'd think I've paid all my dues
And just think of all the trouble
That car is puttin' me through

Well, I guess like a tooth that needs to get filled
You know, it's gonna hurt and you're gonna get drilled
And once you get it fixed, it happens all over again

I'm too young to quit
I'm too old to change
Baby, what am I gonna do?

I got the chopped top, slammed down
'49 mercury blues, oh yeah
I got the chopped top, slammed down
'49 mercury blues, oh yeah


34.(The Legend Of) Johnny Kool

Lyricist:Brian Robert Setzer

I had one cup of coffee and a cigarette
Then I rolled out of bed with my shirt soaking wet
If I was gonna get movin', now was the time
So I packed up my bags and my Gretsch '59

It's a tough life, love, but when push comes to shove
It's the only life for Johnny, Johnny, Johnny Kool
Plays his guitar and he sang like a fool
Don't let the big boys grind you down now

Johnny Johnny, Johnny Kool
He was a rebel that broke all the rules
And everyone can't stop talkin' about
The legend of Johnny Kool

Darker than black, not a star in the sky
So I revved up that engine and let that Mercury fly
With the wind blowin' by at a hundred and five
While I was tryin' like hell just to keep it alive

It's a tough life, love, but when push comes to shove
It's the only life for Johnny Johnny, Johnny Kool
Played his guitar and he sang like a fool
Don't let the big boys grind you down

Johnny Johnny, Johnny Kool
He was a rebel that broke all the rules
Everyone can't stop talkin' about
The legend of Johnny Kool

Well rumor had it now this cat had it all
He was loud, he was wild, and he sure rocked the hall
Some guy grabbed my arm and I jumped on the stage
And I was rockin' with a guy who was twice my age
Aww, play it up

It's a tough life, love, but when push comes to shove
It's the only life for Johnny Johnny, Johnny Kool
Played his guitar and he sang like a fool
Don't let the big boys grind you down

Johnny Johnny, Johnny Kool
He was a rebel that broke all the rules
And everyone can't stop talkin' about
The legend of Johnny Kool

Johnny Johnny, Johnny Kool
He is a rebel, Johnny Kool
He is a legend, Johnny Kool
Everybody can't stop talkin' about
The legend of Johnny Kool

Of some bad honky tonkers really layin' it down
They've seen it all for years they got nothin' to lose

Lyricist:Leon Drucker, James Mcconnell, Brian Setzer

Get kicked out for coming home at dawn
Mom and dad cursed the day you were born
Throw your clothes into a duffel bag
Shoutin' as you slam the door, the home, it's a drag

Who can I turn to, where can I stay?
I heard a place is open all night and all day
There's a place you can go where the cops don't know
You can act real wild, they don't treat you like a child

Runaway boys

Your hair is all greasy and you feel like a slob
You're only fifteen and you can't get a job
Run into the luncheonette and shoot a few games
Losing all your quarters, man, it's always the same

Steal a couple of bucks to buy a new toy
Slip into the alley with the runaway boys

Runaway boys
Runaway boys

Runnin' faster, faster all the time
You're under age and God knows that's a crime

Get kicked out for coming home at dawn
Mom and dad cursed the day you were born
Throw your clothes into a duffel bag
Shoutin' as you slam the door, the home, it's a drag

Well, who can I turn to and where can I stay?
I heard a place is open all night and all day
There's a place you can go where the cops don't know
You can act real wild, they don't treat you like a child

Runaway boys

Runnin' faster, faster all the time
You're under age and God knows that's a crime

Runaway boys, runaway boys
Runaway boys, runaway boys
Runaway boys

I'm gonna take my baby on a little joy ride
She'll be ghost-white, pale, sittin' by my side
I'll shakin' like a leaf and it ain't no wonder
I drive like lightning, crash like thunder

I'm gonna race with the devil, speedin' down the track
Well, if she beats me to the line, I'm never comin' back
You won't get out alive so it ain't no wonder
I drive like lightning, crash like thunder

Drive like lightning, crash like thunder
Ain't worth nothin' when you're six feet under
All wrapped up in hot chrome and steel
Drag my body, well, behind the wheel

Got a pair of dice swingin' in my Detroit casket
I got a rabbit's foot hangin' from my black leather jacket
Shakin' like a leaf, it ain't no wonder
I drive like lightning, crash like thunder

Well, baby, please try to understand
Just a little speck of dust blowin' in the sand
We won't get out alive, so why should we wonder
I drive like lightning, crash like thunder

Drive like lightning crash like thunder
It ain't worth nothin' when you're six feet under
All wrapped up in hot chrome and steel
Drag my body, well, behind the wheel

Drive like lightning crash like thunder
It ain't worth nothin' when you're six feet under
Wrapped up in hot chrome and steel
Drag my body, well, behind the wheel

I drive like lightning
I drive like lightning
I drive like lightning
I drive like lightning crash like thunder

Black and orange, stray cat sittin' on a fence
Ain't got enough dough to pay the rent
I'm flat broke but I don't care
I strut right by with my tail in the air

Stray cat strut I'm a ladies cat
I'm a feline casanova, hey man, that's that
Get a shoe thrown at me from a mean old man
Get my dinner from a garbage can

Yeah, don't go crossing my path

I don't bother chasing mice around
Slinking down the alleyway lookin' for a fight
Howlin' to the moonlight on a hot summer night

Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry
'Wild stray cat, you're a real gone guy'
I wish I could be as carefree and wild
But I got cat class and I got cat style

I don't bother chasing mice around
Slinking down the alleyway lookin' for a fight
Howlin' to the moonlight on a hot summer night

Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry
'Wild stray cat, you're a real gone guy'
I wish I could be as carefree and wild
But I got cat class and I got cat style


44.(Everybody's Waitin' For) The Man With The Bag

Lyricist:Dudley Brooks, Hal Stanley, Irving Taylor

Old Mr. Kringle is soon gonna jingle
The bells that'll tingle all your troubles away
Everybody's waiting for the man with the bag
Christmas is coming again

Well, he's got a sleigh full, it's not gonna stay full
He's got stuff dropping every stop of the way
Everybody's waiting for the man with the bag
Christmas is coming again

He'll be here with the answer to the prayers
That you made through the year
And you'll get yours if you've done
Everything you should, extra special good

He'll make this December, a one you'll remember
The best and the merriest you ever did have
Everybody's waiting for the man with the bag
Christmas is here again

Old Mr. Kringle is soon gonna jingle
All the bells that'll tingle all your troubles away
Everybody's waiting for the man with the bag
Christmas is here again

He's got a sleigh full and it's not gonna stay full
He's got stuff that he's dropping every stop of the way
Everybody's waiting for the man with the bag
Christmas is here again

He'll be here with the answer to the prayers
That you made through the year
And you'll get yours, better believe it, if you've done
Everything you should, extra special good

He'll make this December, the one you'll remember
The best and the merriest you ever did have
Everybody's waiting, they're all congregating
Waiting for the man with the bag

Better watch out now


45.Sittin' On It

Lyricist:Henry Bernard, Sydney Nathan

Old maid, old maid
Stop acting like a baby child
Old maid, old maid
Stop acting like a baby child
You waited 'til you got 63
Before you started runnin' wild

Oh, I'm looking for a gal
She's got me be young and neat
I'm looking for a gal
She's got me be young and neat
What good is a stove
If it don't give out no heat

Well, you had your chance
For love and romance
But you let it pass you by
'Cause when you were 10
You used to run from men
Kept on sittin' on it all the time

When you was 16 you was a natural queen
She kept on sittin' on it all the time
When you were 22, you didn't know what to do
When you was 25, you thought about that jive

She kept on sittin' on it all the time
She kept on sittin' on it all the time

When you was 31, you was hot as the sun
But you kept on sittin' on it all the time

She kept on sittin' on it all the time
She kept on sittin' on it all the time

When you were 52, you still knew what to do
She kept on sittin' on it all the time
When you were 55, you was glad to be alive
When you were 58, it still wasn't too late

She kept on sittin' on it all the time
She kept on sittin' on it all the time

Now you're 63, you're too old for me
So keep on sittin' on it all the time


46.Americano

Lyricist:Carosone Renato, Himelstein Michael, Salerno Nicola (i 2),
Setzer Brian Robert

He's drivin' a jeep but he ain't in the army
Gets all his cigarette money from his mommy
Dressed like a rootin' tootin' Texas cowboy
But this Lone Ranger's never seen a horse

He wanna be Americano
Americano, Americano
He wants to drive a Cadillac
Ooh, he's chasing showgirls
Smokin' Camels, whiskey and soda
Now he's never goin' back

He's cruisin' streets for gold
Dressed in designer clothes
Brother if you're too slow
You'd better not blink
Or you'll wind up in the drink

Wanna be Americano
Americano, Americano
Gotta buy a diamond ring
'Cause that's his baby's favorite thing
Okay, all right, yeah man
Wanna be American
Wanna be American

He's in the land where anything can happen
Reach for the stars, grab that golden ring
Just remember he's Americano
Well, watch it pal 'cause he'll take everything

He wanna be Americano
Americano, Americano
He wants to drive a Cadillac
Ooh, now he's chasing showgirls
Smokin' Camels, whiskey and soda
Now he's never goin' back

He likes that rock and roll
He's playing baseball
Loves Marilyn Monroe
A Coca-Cola Joe and a pizza pie to go

Wanna be Americano
Americano, Americano
Gotta buy a diamond ring
'Cause that's his baby's favorite thing
Okay, all right, yeah man
Wanna be American
Wanna be American
Wanna be American, hey!

Get on that rockabilly train

Well, my sweet baby wears fishnet stockings
And when she starts a rockin' there ain't no stoppin'

Singing, wop bop a doo bop, fishnet stockings
Shoo wop a doo wop, when she's rockin'
Bop bop a doo bop, there ain't no stoppin'
I'm rockin' with my baby in her fishnet stockings

She's got a pair in pink
She's got a pair in red
When she puts the black ones
She makes me lose my head

Singing, wop bop a doo bop, fishnet stockings
Shoo wop a doo wop, when she's rockin'
Bop bop a doo bop, there ain't no stoppin'
I'm rockin' with my baby in her fishnet stockings

She's got a pair in pink
She's got a pair in red
When she puts the black ones
She makes me lose my head

Singing, wop bop a doo bop, fishnet stockings
Shoo wop a doo wop, when she's rockin'
Bop bop a doo bop, there ain't no stoppin'
I'm rockin' with my baby in her fishnet stockings

Alright, boys, let's go

Well, my sweet baby wears fishnet stockings
Fishnet stockings
Fishnet stockings
I'm rockin' with my baby in her fishnet stockings

Fishnet stockings, oh yeah
I'm rockin' with my baby in her fishnet stockings


49.Dig That Crazy Santa Claus

Jingle, jangle
Dig that crazy Santa Claus with his red suit on
Dig that walk, that crazy talk, man, oh man, he's really gone
Dig that crazy Santa Claus with his bag of toys

Drags his sack through a chimney stack
All the little hep-cats jump for joy, so cool it, Rudolph, cool
it
With your nose aglow tell those groove reindeer
When Santa starts to blow, go, go

Dig that crazy Santa Claus
Well, I do believe he will bring some crazy toys
You better be good this Christmas Eve, jump

Dig that crazy Santa Claus with his red suit on
Dig that walk, that crazy talk, man, oh man, he's really gone
Dig that crazy Santa Claus with his bag of toys

Drags his sack through a chimney stack
All the little hep-cats jump for joy, so cool it, Rudolph, cool
it
With your nose aglow tell those groove reindeer
When Santa starts to blow, go, go

Dig that crazy Santa Claus
Well, I do believe, he will bring some crazy toys
You better be good this Christmas Eve
Jingle, jangle
