1.Love Potion Number Nine

I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
She's got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine
I told her that I was a flop with chics
I've been this way since 1956
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign
She said 'What you need is Love Potion Number Nine'
She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She said 'I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink'
It smelled like turpentine, it looked like India ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine


2.Love, Love, Love

Lyricist:Sonny David, Teddy Mcrae, Sid Wyche

Love, love, love, love, love, love

There ain't nothin' in this world for a boy and a girl
But love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love
There ain't nothin' in this world for a boy and a girl
But love, love, love and that's the only thing I'm thinkin' of

Love can make you happy when you're feelin' blue
If the one you love is in love with you

There ain't nothin' in this world for a boy and a girl
But love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love
There ain't nothin' in this world for a boy and a girl
But love, love, love and that's the only thing I'm thinkin' of

Love can pick you up
(Love can pick you up)
When you feel low-down
(When you feel low-down)
Love can make you smile
When you're wearin' a frown

I want it, I need it, fill my cup with love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love, love
Let me drink till my head goes 'round and 'round
With love, love, love
So come and be my, be my turtle dove


3.Devil Or Angel

Lyricist:Blanche Carter

Devil or angel, I can't make up my mind
Which one you are I'd like to wake up and find
Devil or angel, dear, whichever you are
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you

Devil or angel, please say you'll be mine
Love me or leave me, I'll go out of my mind
Devil or angel, dear, whichever you are
I need you, I need you, I need you

You look like an angel
Your smile is divine
But you keep me guessin'
Will you ever be mine?

Devil or angel, please say you'll be mine
Love me or leave me, I've made up my mind
Devil or angel, dear, whichever you are
I love you, I love you, I love you

Devil or angel, please say you'll be mine
Love me or leave me, I've made up my mind
Devil or angel, dear, whichever you are
I love you, I love you, I love you


4.One Mint Julep

Lyricist:Rudolph Toombs

One early mornin', as I was walkin'
I met a woman, we started talkin'
I took her home to get a few nips
But all I had was a mint julep
One mint julep was the cause of it all

I don't remember just how it started
I only know that we should have parted
I stole a kiss and then another
I didn't mean to take it further
One mint julep was the cause of it all

The lights were burning low, there in the parlor
When through the kitchen door, up popped her father
He said, 'I saw you when you kissed my daughter
Better wed her right now or face a slaughter'

I didn't know just what I was doin'
I had to marry or face ruin
A mint julep, a mint julep
A mint julep, a mint julep
One mint julep was the cause of it all

Now, I don't want to bore you with my troubles
But from now on I'll be thinkin' double
I'm through with flirtin' and drinkin' whiskey
I got six extra children from a-gettin' frisky

A mint julep, a mint julep
A mint julep, a mint julep
One mint julep was the cause of it all


5.Love Potion Number 9

Lyricist:Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller

I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
She's got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
Selling little bottles of Love Potion Number 9

I told her that I was a flop with chics
I've been this way since 1956
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign
She said, 'What you need is Love Potion Number 9'

She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She said, 'I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink'
It smelled like turpentine, it looked like India ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink

I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissing everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number 9

I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink

I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissing everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number 9

Love Potion Number 9
Love Potion Number 9
Love Potion Number 9


6.Lovey Dovey

Lyricist:Eddie Curtis, Ahmet Ertegun

Well, you're the cutest thing that I did ever see
I really love your peaches, gonna shake your tree
Lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time
Lovey dovey, I can't get you out of my mind

Every time you kiss me you just thrill me so
So never, never, never, never let me go
Ooh baby, lovey dovey all the time
Lovey dovey, I can't get you out of my mind

I sigh with the feeling when you are near me
I'm high as the ceiling, oh baby, hear me
'Cause I'm saying that I love you, place none above you
Give it up, pretty mama, I can't wait because

My love is tumblin' down, I feel the mood
For you, my darlin', I would break my mama's rule
Oh baby, lovey dovey all the time
Lovey dovey, I can't get you out of my mind

The kiss and stealin' has got me fallin'
My head is reelin', my heart is rollin', baby
Never leave me, don't deceive me

'Cause I never, never knew the thrill of ecstasy
So tell me that it's gonna be just you and me
Lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time
Lovey dovey, I can't get you out of my mind


7.Ting-A-Ling

Lyricist:Ahmet Ertegun


Well, I'm just a poor young boy and these girl's 'bout to drive
me wild
Well, I'm just a poor young boy and these girl's 'bout to drive
me wild
Well, I'm just a poor young boy and these girl's 'bout to drive
me wild
They way they rock and roll and call me, angel child

The way they laugh, the way they sing it makes my heart go
ting-a-ling
The way they laugh, the way they sing makes my heart go
ting-a-ling
The way they laugh and sing makes my heart go ting-a-ling
Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling

Well, I'm young and I'm free and it's a real fine way to be
Well, I'm young and I'm free and it's a real fine way to be
Well, I'm young and I'm free and it's a real fine way to be
With a fine young thing to give her love to me


8.Fool, Fool, Fool

Lyricist:Ahmet Nugetre

Fool, fool, fool that I was to fall for you
Fool, fool, fool that I was to fall for you
Oh, what a fool I was to think you could love me too

Well, now, the first time that I met you
You looked so doggone sweet
When you walked down the street
I said, â½There goes my meatâ

Fool, fool, fool that I was to fall for you
Oh, what a fool I was to think you could love me too

I, I, I can't forget you darlin'
Though I'm left out in the cold
I guess I still love you
And will always be the same

Oh, fool, fool, fool that I was to fall for you
Oh, what a fool I was to think you could love me too


9.Crawlin'

Well I stopped to have a little drink
With a lady down the street
Then would took the time to think
That if I drink a Sneaky Pete
I'd be Crawlin instead of ballin
I mix a bowl of wine with rye
Drink until time for me to go
Well she didn't bat an eye
When she saw me on the floor
Just a Crawlin, a really brawlin
I poured the Beer in the gin
I drank the Gin with the Wine
It left me really chargin like a jet T99
I was feelin mighty fine
High as any Georgia pine
Rock and standing on my legs
The floor came up and bumped my head
Man I was Crawlin a really Crawlin

She was prancing all around
And I was on my hands and knees
Trying to get up off the ground
When she said with so much ease
Man your ballin a really ballin
Just then my husband came in
And through me out in the street
I don't know what became of her
But I was really beat
Then I tried to drag home
Sore and full of misery
All the Sneaky Pete was gone
And the folk could plainly see

I was Crawlin instead of ballin
I was Crawlin instead of ballin
Yes I was Crawlin instead of ballin

Oh I was Crawlin instead of ballin
But let me tell you one thing
I ain't going there no more


10.Your Cash Ain't Nothing But Trash

Your cash ain't nothing but trash.
Here we go.
Yeah, you may have heart about the gangster of love and the
space cowboy, but I'm gonna whip a cat on you right now who's
had more trouble, trials and tribulations.

One, two, three, hey
Yeah
It's alright
Look here

I was walking down the main track
One night
I met a fine chick
She was built just right

She stopped when I flashed my roll
I told her she could have all of my dough

She turned around and with a frown
She said this ain't no circus
And I don't need a clown

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
And there ain't no need in your hangin' around

Just to make a hit with that chick
I tried to get a Cadillac right quick
The man at the place he looked so strange
I had 900 bucks and some change

We disagreed
I tried to plead
Well, he said I ain't a chicken
And I don't need your feed

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Well, baby you're crawling way past your speed

I was walkin' into town in my white bucks
A man with a gun, he said hands up
I tried to get away but too slow
He got me and took all of my dough

I heard him shout
As he cut out
Well you ain't lost nothin'
What you cryin' about

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
And he took my watch and I passed out

I woke up in the arms of a big cop
Police station
Next stop
Judge swung his fist down
Plunk plunk

$20 fine cause you're drunk
Pick up the dough
And you can go
All I had was a buffalo

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
But I'm sure gonna get me some more

We do not have the lyrics for I've Got My Eyes On You yet.


13.Blue Velvet

She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars

She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Warmer than May her tender sighs
Love was ours

Ours, the love I held tightly
Feeling the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly
But when she left
Gone was the golw of blue velvet

*But in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm the memory
Through the years
And I still can see blue velvet
Through my tears

She wore blue velvet
