MONEY (THAT'S WHAT I WANT)
(B. Gordy/J. Bradford.)
The best things in life are free
So give them to the birds and the bees
I need money (that's what I want)
That's what I want
That's what I want
That's what I want
Your lovin gives me such a thrill
But your lovin can't pay my bills
I need money (that's what I want)
That's what I want
That's what I want
That's what I want
Oh money (that's what I want)
Oh lots of money (that's what I want)
Oh money (that's what I want)
That's what I want
That's what I want
A whole lot of money
Money can't buy everything, it's true
But what it can but I can use
I need money (that's what I want)
That's what I want
That's what I want
That's what I want
That's what I want
A whole lot of money

BAD BOY
(Williams)
A bad little kid moved in to my neighbourhood
He won't do nothing right, just sits down and looks so good
He don't wanna go to school and learn to read and write
Just sits around the house and plays the rock and roll music
all night
Well he puts thumbtacks on teacher's chair
Put chew'n' gum in little girl's hair
Now, Junior behave yourself!
Buys ev'ry rock and roll book on the magazine
stand
Ev'ry dime that he gets oh he's off to the jukebox man
Well he worries his teacher till at night she's ready to
poop
From rockin' and a rollin', spinnin' in a hula hoop
Well his rock'n'roll has gotta stop, Junior's head is hard
as rock
Now, Junior behave yourself!
Gonna tell your mama, you'd better do what
she says
Get to the barber shop and get that hair cut off your head
Threw the canary and you fed it to the neighbour's cat
You gave the cocker spaniel a bath in mother's laundromat
Well his mamma said it's gotta stop, Junior's head is hard
as rock
Now, Junior behave yourself!

ROCK & ROLL MUSIC
(Chuck Berry)
Just let me hear some of that Rock & Roll Music
Any old way you choose it
It's gotta a back beat you cant lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be Rock & Roll Music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
I've got no kick aginst modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And change the beauty of the melody
Until they sound just like a symphony
That's why I go for that Rock & Roll Music
Any old way you choose it
It's gotta a back beat you cant lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be Rock & Roll Music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks
So she could hear my man a-wail a sax
I must admit they have a rockin' band
Man they were going like a hurrican
That's why I go for that Rock & Roll Music
Any old way you choose it
It's gotta a back beat you cant lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be Rock & Roll Music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Way down south they gave a jubilee
The joke_y folks they had a jamboree
They're drinkin' home brew from a water cup
The folks dancin' got all shook up
And started playing that Rock & Roll Music
Any old way you choose it
It's gotta a back beat you cant lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be Rock & Roll
Music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Don't care to hear then play a tango
I'm in the mood to hear a mambo
It's way too early for a congo
So keep a rockin' that piano
Just let me hear some of that Rock & Roll Music
Any old way you choose it
It's gotta a back beat you cant lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be Rock & Roll Music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

CAROL
(Berry)
Oh Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day
Climb into my machine so we can cruise on out
I know a swingin' little joint where we can jump and shout
It's not too far back off the highway, not so long a ride
You park your car out in the open, you can walk inside
A little cutie takes your hat and you can thank her, ma'am
Every time you make the scene you find the joint is jammed
Oh Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day
And if you wanna hear some music like the boys are playin'
Hold tight, pat your foot, don't let 'em carry it away
Don't let the heat overcome you when they play so loud
Oh, don't the music intrigue you when they get a crowd
You can't dance, I know you wish you could
I got my eyes on you baby, 'cause you dance so good
Oh Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day
Don't let him steal your heart away
I've got to learn to dance if it takes you all night and
day
Oh Carol

Good Golly Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.

You can see Miss Molly rockin' at the house of blue lights.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.

Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.

20 FLIGHT ROCK
(Fairchild)
Well I got a girl with a record machine,
When it comes to rocking she's a queen.
I took her to a dance on a saturday night,
All alone where I can hold her tight.
She lives on the twentieth floor uptown.
The elevator's broken down.
And I walk one, two flight, three flight four,
Five six seven flight, eight flight more.
Up on the twelfth I'm starting to sag,
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to drag.
I get to the top and I'm too tired to rock.
You know she called me up on the telephone,
Said come on ever baby 'cause I'm all alone.
I said baby you're mighty sweet,
But I'm in bed with aching feet.
This went on for a couple of days,
But I couldn't stay away.
And I walk one, two flight, three flight four,
Five six seven flight, eight flight more.
Up on the twelfth I'm starting to sag,
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to drag.
I get to the top and I'm too tired to rock.
Well I sent to Chicago for repairs,
Till it's fixed I'm using the stairs.
I hope they hurry, before it's too late,
I want my baby too much to wait.
All this climbing is getting me down,
They'll find me hanging over the rail.
And I walk one, two flight, three flight four,
Five six seven flight, eight flight more.
Up on the twelfth I'm starting to sag,
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to drag.
I get to the top and I'm too tired to rock.
And I walk one, two flight, three flight four,
Five six seven flight, eight flight more.
Up on the twelfth I'm starting to sag,
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to drag,
I get to the top and I'm too tired to rock.
