Down By The Jetty

Dr.Feelgood Down By The Jetty Lyrics
1.She Does It Right

(wilko johnson)

If there's something that i like
It's the way that woman walks
And if there's something i like better
It's the way she baby talks

She does it right
She does it right
She works hard every night just to make me feel alright
She told me not to worry
And there ain't a single trouble in sight

I said you you ought to see her jerk
You ought to see her walk on the floor
And when she gets back to her seat
Mmh all the people cry for more

She does it right
She does it right
She works hard every night just to make me feel alright
She told me not to worry
And there ain't a single trouble in sight

I said i'd give her anything
That her little heart desires
Anything she wants
Just to keep her by my side (/satisfied)

She does it right
She does it right
She works hard every night just to make me feel alright
She told me not to worry
And there ain't a single trouble in sight

If there's something that i like
It's the way that woman walks
And if there's something i like better
It's the way she baby talks

She does it right
She does it right
She works hard every night just to make me feel alright
She told me not to worry
And there ain't a single trouble in sight

She does it right (8 x)


2.Boom Boom

(john lee hooker)

Boom-boom, boom-boom
Gonna shoot you right down
Right off your feet
Take you home with me
Put you in my house
Boom-boom, boom-boom

Ow-ow-ow-ow
Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
I love to see you strut
Up and down my floor
When you talk to me
That baby talk
I like it like that

Boom-boom, boom-boom
Gonna shoot you right down
Right off your feet
Take you home with me
Put you in my house
Boom-boom, boom-boom

When you walk that walk
And you talk that talk
And you whisper in my ear
Tell me that you love me
I love that talk
When you talk like that
You knock me out


3.The More I Give

(wilko johnson)

I don't get nothing to nobody
But i get everything for you
My hopes, my plans
My dreams my friends
And most of my money to
If i got one thing left to give
I swear that i haven't a clue

The more i give the less i get from you

My friends told me that a womans love
Is a most peculiar thing
You treat 'em bad, steal their cash
And they treat you like a dog gone king
I never listened to their advice
But now i must admit that it's true

The more i give the less i get from you

- break -

The more i give the less i get
The more i give the less i get from you

6.That Ain't The Way To Behave

(wilko johnson)

Oh babe
That ain't the way to behave

You walked out and left me
I didn't see you for days
And then you let me know you're coming back here again
When you write me a letter without a word to explain

Oh babe
That ain't the way to behave

Got up early in the morning
Just to see you arrive
The sun was rising
There were clouds in the sky
Well i waited at the window i did not understand
When i saw you at the corner with another man

Oh babe
That ain't the way to behave

- harmonica-solo -

Now you're leaving
You're taking everything you own
I ain't complaining
I'm waitin' til i'm alone
Well i just sit here smiling as she walk through the door
If i didn't love you still you'd be stretched out on the floor

Oh babe
That ain't the way to behave

- harmonica-solo -


7.I Don't Mind


8.Twenty Yards Behind

(wilko johnson)

If you see my baby walking
I'm a walking by her side
Ain't no need to look too far
Because i won't be hard to find

I'm walkin twenty yards behind her
Cause i love the way she shakes behind

Everybody stops to see her
When my baby's out takin' a stroll
I see a traffic cop that flags
When a steam roller ran out of control
But when my baby walked by
He jumped up and shouted 'bless my soul'
Bless my soul

- break -

It's all much confusion in the town
When she's passing through
All the cars are going backwards
And the traffic lights change to blue

I'm walking twenty yards behind her
Cause i'm frightened of the damage she'll do


9.Keep It Out Of Sight

(wilko johnson)

You walk right in
Don't see nobody turn around
Get no connections
You're just a face in any crowd
Some let you know
The good times are coming
Just wait until you tell 'em right
Keep it out of sight
Keep it out of sight

You movin' up
Man, the place is getting hot
You just can't lose
With all that stuff that you got
You know the people understand
You got a reputation
You don't wanna argue fuss and fight
Keep it out of sight
Keep it out of sight

You got enough
You got a new thing on your mind
Don't have nobody
You gotta leave the scene behind
You put your foot down on the boards
You don't know where you're going
But your headlights are burning up the night
Keep it out of sight
Keep it out of sight


10.All Through The City

(wilko johnson)

Key:amaj

Stand and watch the towers burning at the break of day
Steadily slowing down, been on my feet since yesterday
Gotta get a move on tryin' to find a man i know
Money in my pocket, looking for a place to go

I've been searching all through the city
See you in the morning down by the jetty

Streets are full of signs, arrows pointing everywhere
Parks are full of people trying to get a breath of air
Listen to the weatherman praying for a drop of rain
Look into the sky, the sky is full of aeroplanes

I've been searching all through the city
See you in the morning down by the jetty

Walking in the main drag pass the afternoon away
The sun is going down, the streets are still as bright as day
See the shiny cars driving round detecting crime
Hear the sirens wail, the cops are only killing time

I've been searching all through the city
See you in the morning down by the jetty

I've been searching all through the city
See you in the morning down by the jetty
I've been searching all through the city
See you in the morning down by the jetty
I've been searching, i've been a searching for you
(to fade)


11.Cheque Book

(mickey jupp)

Key:amaj

Well my mum and papa told me they had some words to say
They said get out, i said i'm leaving anyway
I made some money playing this here guitar
Filled in a form and went and bought myself a car

I've got my cheque book baby
Got my bags all packed
If you're comin' with me get in the motor
Throw your suitcase in the back

Well i've been here for so long sick of this whole town
Ain't getting younger and it's time i got around
Gotta' go some places i ain't never been before
When i turn that corner mamma you won't see me no more

I've got my cheque book baby got my bags all packed
If you're comin' with me get in the motor
Throw your suitcase in the back

Well i've been here for so long sick of this whole town
Ain't getting younger and it's time i got around
I gotta' go some places i ain't never been before
When i turn that corner mamma you won't see me no more

I've got my cheque book baby got my bags all packed
If you're comin' with me get in the motor
Throw your suitcase in the back


12.Oyeh!


13.Bonie Moronie

(larry williams)

I got a girl named bonie moronie
She's as skinny as a stick of macaroni
When she rock and rolls with her blue jeans on
She's not very fat, just skin and bones
I love her, she loves me
Oh, how happy now we can be
Making love underneath the apple tree

Well, i told her mama and papa too
Just exactly what i wanna do
I wanna get married on a night in june
Rock and roll by the light of a silvery moon
I love her, she loves me
Oh, how happy (now) we can be
Making love underneath the apple tree

- guitar solo -

I got a girl named bonie moronie
She's as skinny as a stick of macaroni
When she rock and rolls with her blue jeans on
She's not very fat, just skin and bones
I love her, she loves me
Oh, how happy we can be
I love her, she loves me
Oh, how happy we can be
Making love underneath the apple tree
Making love underneath the apple tree
Making love underneath the apple tree

Blue marked words were sung or not, depending on the version.

The following verse always is left out because
Dr feelgood serve this song with a bit of 'tequila':

She's my one and only, she's my heart's desire
She's a real upsetter, she's a real live wire
Everybody turns when my baby walks by
She's something to see, she really catches the eye
