1. Transylvania Boogie

 

2. Road Ladies

Don't it ever get lonesome?
(Yeah! Sure gets lonesome . . .)
Don't it ever get sad when you go out on the road?
(Oh, there was one time in Minneapolis . . . when I thought I had the clap for sure)
Don't it ever get lonesome?
(Lonesome ain't the word)
Don't it ever get sad when you go out on a thirty day tour?
(Oh, I'll take away, tell it like it was, Frank!)
You got nothing but groupies and promotors promoters to love you
And a pile of laundry by the hotel door

Don't it ever get lonesome?
Don't it ever give a young man the blues?
Don't it ever get lonesome?
Don't it ever make a young man wanna go back home?
When the P.A. system eats it
And the band plays some of the most terriblest terrible terriblest shit you've ever known

Don't you ever miss your
House in the country and your
Hot little mamma too?
Don't you ever miss your
House in the country and your
Hot little mamma too?
Don't you better get a
Shot from of from the doctor? for
What the Road Ladies do to you?!

I know someday I will never
I'll never go out on the road again, oh, yeah . . .
I know someday I will never
I ain't gonna roam the country sidecountryside
No more
I'm gonna hang up them ol' holiday innsHoliday Inns, yeah
And heal my knees up
From when I was doin' it on the floor
See me doing it
See me doing do doing it on the floor
Oh no, nobody go there

Don't you ever miss your
House in the country and your
Hot little mamma too?
Don't you ever miss your
House in the country and your
Hot little mamma too?
Don't you better get a
Shot from of from the doctor? for
What the Road Ladies do to you?!

6. Would You Go All The Way

Remember Freddie and Jo?
The night you went to a the show?
(A monster movie)
Clutchin' at yer hand
(Wait ten seconds)
Clutchin' at yer arm
(Wait ten seconds)
Clutchin' at yer elbow
(Wait ten seconds)
Where did your brassiere go?
TWhen the monster came out
'N Everybody shout
People all around you
Screamin' at the monster
The Monster From The U.S.O.

Who's this dude with his hair straight back?
His new white socks, 'n his pants all black
His T-shirt's rolled
His watch is gold
A '55 Chevy that his brother just stoled
An' With his arm's around yer waist
An' his hand is in yer pants
An' he asks you for a date
To the servicemen's dance

Suppose you don't wanna?
What can you do?
When a joker like that
Got his hands on you
Oh, baby!
T-T-T-Tell me baby
Would you go all the way
For the U.S.AO.?
Would you go all the way
For the U.S.OA.?
Would you go all the way
For the U.S.AO.?
Lift up your dress, if the answer is "no"

Would you go all the way
For the U.S.A.?
Would you go all the way
For the U.S.A.?
Would you go all the way
For the U.S.A.?
Would you go all the way?
Would you go all the way?

Would you go all the way
For the U.S.A.?
Would you go all the way
For the U.S.A.?
Would you go all the way
For the U.S.A.?
Would you go all the way?
Would you go all the way?
Would you go all the way?
Would you go all the way?

10. Sharleena

I'm cryin'
I'm cryin'
Cryin' for Sharleena
Don't you know?
I called up all my baby's friends
'N ask'n um
Where she done went
But nobody 'round here seems to know
Where my Sharleena's been
Where my Sharleena's been

I'm cryin'
I'm cryin'
Cryin' for Sharleena
Can't you see?
I called up all my baby's friends
'N ask'n um
Where she done went
But nobody 'round here seems to know
Where my Sharleena's been
Where my Sharleena's been

Ten long years I have I've been lovin' her
Ten long years
And I thought deep down in my heart
She was mine
Ten long years I have I've been lovin' her
Ten long years
I would call her my baby, and now
I'm always cryin'

Ugh!
Ugh!

I would be so delighted
I would be so delighted
If they would just
Send her on home to me

I would be so delighted
I would be so delighted
If they would just
Send her on home to me

Send my baby home to me!
Send my baby home to me!
Send my baby ho-oo-ome!
Send my baby home to me!
