That Driving Beat
03:01
|
|||
Take off your high healed sneakers and put on our flats
We're going to a party, gonna show you where it's at
We're gonna do that pony, jerk, twist and shout
So get out on the floor girl and work it all out
Drive on
Just listen to the music and when you hear the beat
You can't fight the feeling, you've just got to move your feet
Baby let your hair down and don't go so slow
'Cos when you hear that driving beat you know you got to go
Drive on
Look over these at the girl dressed in white
She ain't wearing diamonds, she's gonna work all night
Stop looking at your watch, the lights will never blink
Don't worry 'bout the time 'cos it's later than you think
Drive on
You're looking good now
Drive on
Just like I knew you would now

We were walking down the street about a half past 10
when he looked at his watch, and I knew right then
cause the same old thing has happened before
his mama stood there waiting at the big front door
but, I don't want no mama's boy!
no no no no!
oh you heard me!
You know your mama's got you under her thumb
but I'll make you mine, a change has gotta come
for everytime I see you it's the very same thing
have I got a boy or a puppy on a string
you run like a rabbit when she calls your name
you're a cute sort of guy, but I think it's a shame
I know she means to do the best for you
but I want a star in the picture too
now I'm gonna have to put a stop to this
I think I can do it with a single little kiss
you know I really love you and my heart is true,
but first I gotta make a real man outta you

Boom boom, chick-a-boom boom boom
Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom boom boom
This is a holdup, everybody on the ground
Put your hands behind your head, don’t make a sound
This old system been keeping us down, down, down
Now me and my friends think it’s time to turn this mess around
We all know this ain’t what you expected
We know this must come as a surprise
Imagine how it feels to be rejected, scorned and scoffed at
Imagine how it feels to be despised
Boom boom, chick-a-boom boom boom
Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom boom boom
Too much money in too few hands
We’ll be on our way once you meet our small demands
So come on, people, do as I say
You may just live to see a better day
Everybody on the ground
We’re gonna pass this bag around
Fill it up with what you got
Fill it up with what you got
Boom boom, chick-a-boom boom boom
Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom boom boom
Too much money in too few hands
We’ll be on our way once you meet our small demands
Here’s my people, respect us as equal
Fewer excuses, we don’t need to prove it
You’ll find out what we’ve known all along
By trying to keep us down, you’ve made us strong
Boom boom, chick-a-boom boom boom
Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom boom boom
This is a holdup, everybody on the ground
Put your hands behind your head, don’t make a sound
Come on, people, do as I say
You may just get to see a better day
Everybody on the ground
We’re gonna pass this bag around
Fill it up with what you got
Fill it up with what you go

Harper Valley PTA

I want to tell you all the story
'Bout a Harper Valley widowed wife
Who had a teenage daughter
Who attended Harper Valley Junior High
Well, her daughter came home one afternoon
And didn't even stop to play
And she said, "Mom, I got a note here
From the Harper Valley PTA"
Well, the note says, "Mrs. Johnson
You're wearing your dresses way too high
It's reported you've been drinkin'
And a runnin' 'round with men and goin' wild"
"And we don't believe you ought to be
A bringin' up your little girl this way"
And it was signed by the secretary
Harper Valley PTA
Well, it happened that the PTA
Was gonna meet that very afternoon
And they were sure surprised
When Mrs. Johnson wore her miniskirt into the room
And as she walked up to the blackboard
I can still recall the words she had to say
She said, "I'd like to address this meeting
Of the Harper Valley PTA"
"Well, there's Bobby Taylor sittin' there
And seven times he asked me for a date
And Mrs. Taylor sure seems to use a lotta ice
Whenever he's away"
"And Mr. Baker, can you tell us
Why your secretary had to leave this town?
And shouldn't widow Jones be told
To keep her window shades all pulled completely down?"
"Well, Mr. Harper couldn't be here
'Cause he stayed too long at Kelly's Bar again
And if you'll smell Shirley Thompson's breath
You'll find she's had a little nip of gin"
"And then you have the nerve to tell me
You think that as a mother I'm not fit
Well, this is just a little Payton Place
And you're all Harper Valley hypocrites"
No, I wouldn't put you on
Because it really did, it happened just this way
That day my mama socked it to the Harper Valley PTA
That day my mama socked it to the Harper Valley PTA
