01. Go Down


Ruby, Ruby, where you been so long?
Don't stop drinking whiskey, baby, since you been gone
Ain't no one I know do it as good as you
Licking on that licking stick the way you do
You got the lips to make a strong man weak and a heathen pray
Givin' you the jump, it ain't the way you speak
Lord, it's just the way

Go down...

Mary, Mary, you're the one for me
And the way you hum, sting like a bumble bee, bzzzz
I'll be around to see you about, about half past ten
Ain't felt this good since I don't know when
You got the touch that I need so much in your fingertips
I got the honey that you love to taste
On those lovely lips

So, go down
Go down...

Ooh baby, rub it on
It's still as sweet
It's been so long
And no else got a touch like you
I let you do the things to me that no other women do
Ooh, feels good, oh, feels good, oh yeah
Girl you do it like you should

I loved it so much
You make me glad I'm a man

Go down...

02. Dog Eat Dog

Well it's a dog eat dog
Eat cat too
The French eat frog
And I eat you
Businessman, when you make a deal
Do you know who you can trust?
Do you sign your life away?
Do you write your name in dust?

Hey, hey, hey
Every dog has his day
It's a dog eat dog
Dog eat dog

Dog eat dog
Read the news
Someone win
Someone lose
Up's above and down's below
And limbo's in between
Up you win, down you lose
It's anybody's game

Hey, hey, hey
Every dog has his day
It's a dog eat dog
Dog eat dog

And it's a eye for eye
Tooth for tooth
It's a lie
That's the truth
See a blind man on the street
Looking for something free
Hear the kind man ask his friends
"Hey, what's in it for me?"

Hey, hey, hey
Every dog has his day
It's a dog eat dog
Dog eat dog

Dog eat dog..

03. Let There Be Rock

In the beginning
Back in nineteen fifty-five
Man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show
And all that jive
The white man had the smoltz
The black man had the blues
No one knew what they was gonna do
But Tchaikovsky had the news
He said

"Let there be sound", and there was sound
"Let there be light", and there was light
"Let there be drums", and there was drums
"Let there be guitar", and there was guitar
"Let there be rock"

And it came to pass
That rock 'n' roll was born
All across the land every rockin' band
Was blowing up a storm
The guitarman got famous
The businessman got rich
And in every bar there was a super star
With a seven year itch
There were fifteen million fingers
Learning how to play
And you could hear the fingers picking
And this is what they had to say

"Let there be light"
"Sound"
"Drums"
"Guitar"
"Let there be rock"

One night in a club called "The Shaking Hand"
There was a ninety-two decibel rocking band
And the music was good and the music was loud
And the singer turned and he said to the crowd

"Let there be rock"

04. Bad Boy Boogie

On the day I was born, the rain fell down
There was trouble brewing in my home town
It was the seventh day, I was the seventh son
And it scared the hell out of everyone

They said stop, I said go
They said fast, I said slow
They said yes, I said no
I do the bad boy boogie

Being a bad boy ain't that bad
I've had me more dirty women than most men ever had
All you women come along with me
And I'll show you how good a bad boy can be

I said right and they said left
I said east and they said west
I said up and they said down
I do the bad boy boogie all over town

I wanna tell you no story, tell you no lie
I was born to love till the day I die
I just line them up and I knock them down
And they all came running when the word got 'round
(Just keep a running)

I said up, they said down
They said straight, I said round
They said lost, I said found
I said free and they said bound
Bad boy boogie
Do the bad boy boogie
Bad boy boogie
Bad boy boogie

05. Problem Child

Fuck this

I am hot
And when I'm not
I'm cold as ice
Get outta my way
Just step aside
Or pay the price
What I want I take
What I don't I break
And I don't want you
With a flick of my knife
I can change your life
There's nothing you can do

I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child
Yes I am
I'm a problem child
And I'm wild

Make my stand
No man's land
On my own
Man in blue
It's up to you
The seed is sown
What I want I stash
What I don't I smash
And you're on my list
Dead or alive
Got a .45
And I never miss

Oh, I'm a problem child
Ay, I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child
Just runnin' wild

Just watch your step

Every night
Street light
I drink my booze
Some run
Some fight
But I win, they lose
What I need I like
What I don't I fight
And I don't like you
Say bye bye
While your still alive
Your time is through

Cause I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child
Problem child
I'm a problem child
And my mother hates me
I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child

(Problem child)...

06. Overdose

I never smoked me no cigarettes
I never drank much booze
But I'm only a man, don't you understand
And a man can sometimes lose
You gave me something I never had
Pulled me down with you
Pulled me up, think I'm in love
Hope you can pull me through

I overdosed on you
I overdosed on you
Crazy, but it's true
Ain't nothing I can do
I overdosed on you

Oh woman, you give to me
More than I can take
But listen honey, I don't mind
You're a habit I don't wanna break
Don't want none of that hard stuff
Don't need it anymore
I'm in love, and I'm sinking fast
And I don't need no cure

I overdosed on you
I overdosed on you
Crazy, but it's true
Ain't nothing I can do
I overdosed on you

Gee, I was happy as a man could be
Too far gone to escape
Power of love, don't pull me off
Just write on my grave

I overdosed on you
I overdosed on you
Crazy, but it's true
There ain't nothing I can do
I overdosed on you

On you...
All over you
I overdosed...

07. Hell Ain't A bad Place To Be

Hey you

Sometimes I think this woman is kinda hot
Sometimes I think this woman is sometimes not
Puts me down, fool me around
What's she doing to me?
Out for satisfaction, any piece of action
That ain't the way it should be

She needs love, smells out a man
She's gotta see
Pours my beer, licks my ear
Brings out the devil in me

Hell ain't a bad place to be

Spends my money, drinks my booze, stays out every night
And I got to thinking
"Hey, just a minute, something ain't right"
All these disillusions and confusion
Make me wanna cry
Oh, the shame, you played your games
Tellin' me your lies
Don't mind her playing a demon
As long as it's with me
If this is hell, then you could say
It's heavenly

Hell ain't a bad place to be

This is the night, turn down the lights
Closes up on me
Opens my heart, tears it apart
Brings out the devil in me

Hell ain't no bad place to be
I said, hell ain't no bad place to be
Hell ain't no bad place to be
Hell ain't no bad place to be

08. Whole Lotta Rosie

Wanna tell you a story
'Bout a woman I know
When it comes to lovin'
She steals the show
She ain't exactly pretty
Ain't exactly small
Forty-two, thirty-nine, fifty-six
You could say she's got it all

Never had a woman
Never had a woman like you
Doing all the things
Doing all the things you do
Ain't no fairy story
Ain't no skin and bone
But you give it all you got
Weighing in at nineteen stone

You're a whole lotta woman
A whole lotta woman
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
And you're a whole lotta woman

Oh honey, you can do it
Do it to me all night long
Only one to turn
Only one to turn me on
All through the night time
And right around the clock
Whoo, to my surprise
Rosie never stops

She was a whole lotta woman
Whole lotta woman
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
A whole lotta woman
Hey, ay, yeah

You're a whole lotta woman
A whole lotta woman
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
You're a whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta wo..ma..ma..ma..ma..man, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta woman

Whole lotta woman
