This old house once knew its children This old house once knew its wife
This old house was home and comfort As they fought the storms of life
This old house once rang with laughter This old house heard many shouts
Now it trembles in the darkness When the lightning walks about

Ain't gonna need this house no longer Ain't gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges Nor to mend the window pane
Ain't gonna need this house no longer He's getting ready to meet the saints

This old house is getting' shaky This old house is getting' old
This old house has seen the rain This old house has seen the cold
On his knees are getting' chily But he feels no fear or pain
'Cause he sees an angel peepin' Through a broken window pane

Ain't gonna need this house no longer Ain't gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges Nor to mend the window pane
Ain't gonna need this house no longer He's getting ready to meet the saints

This old house is getting' shaky This old house is getting' old
This old house has seen the rain This old house has seen the cold
On his knees are getting' chily But he feels no fear or pain
'Cause he sees an angel peepin' Through a broken window pane

Well, my baby and me went out late Saturday night
I had my hair piled high and my baby just looked so right
Well, pick you up at ten, gonna get you home at two
Your mama don't know what I got in store for you
But baby that's all right we're looking as cool as can be
We found a little place that really didn't look half bad
I had a whiskey on the rocks and change of a dollar for the jukebox
Well I put a quarter right into that can
But it played was disco, man
Come on pretty baby, let's get out of here right away

We're gonna rock this town, rock it inside out
We're gonna rock this town
Make 'em scream and shout
Le'ts rock, rock, rock, man, rock
We're gonna rock 'til we pop
We're gonna roll 'til we drop
We're gonna rock this down, rock it inside out

Well, we're having a ball just tearing up the big dance floor
Well, there's a real square cat, he looks 1974
Well, he looked at me once, he looked at me twice
Look at me again and there's gonna be a fight

I don't have plans and schemes
And I don't have hopes and dreams
Baby I just don't have anything
Since I don't have you

I don't have fond desires
And I don't have happy hours
Baby, I don't have anything, anything
Since I don't have you, I don't have you

I don't have happiness
And I guess I never will ever again
When you walked out on me
In walked old misery
And he's been here since then

I don't have love to share
And I don't have one who cares
Baby I just don't have anything
Since I don't have you. I don't have you

I don't have happiness
And I guess I never will ever again
When you walked out on me
In walked old misery
And he's been here since then

I don't have love to share
And I don't have one who cares
Baby I just don't have anything
Since I don't have you. I don't have you

Switchblade 327 Lit cigarette in his hand
Steel-toed boots on the accelerator
Oil leakin' outta the pan
Switchblade, three 2-barrels
Getting' there as fast as he can
All juiced up like a hot carburetor
Splittin' gas onto the fan
Blacktop burnout, Saturday night
Try to catch him if you can

Switchblade 327 Switchblade, seven come eleven
Switchblade, he's all right
When he gets drunk he fights all night

Switchblade 327 Pullin' way ahead of the pack
Chop top deuce, Saturday night
Flames shootin' outta the back
Switchblade, don't cut him off
He won't cut you no slack
He'll cut you to ribbons if you come to town
He'll carve out his name in your back
Blacktop burnout, Saturday night
Try to catch him if you can

Switchblade 327 Switchblade, seven come eleven
Switchblade, he's all right
When he gets drunk he fights all night

Switchblade 327 Someone was calling his name
All he could hear was his engine
And the sound of the pouring down rain
Switchblade 327 Ran 125 down the lane
But someone had cut both his fuel lines
And the '32 burst into flames
Blacktop burnout, Saturday night
Try to catch him if you can

Switchblade 327 Switchblade, seven come eleven
Switchblade, he's all right
When he gets drunk he fights all night (repeat)

There's a man in town, all the women know
He goes by the name of Nosey Joe
He don't care if they're married
He takes his pick. Long as they're women
He's ready to stick

His big nose in their business (2x)
That's Nosey Joe, the nosiest guy I know

He ain't good lookin' and he ain't big and strong
That guy's got a nose that's four foot long
I'm tellin' you women, this ain't no jive
If you get too close this man will drive

His big nose in your business (2x)
That's Nosey Joe, the nosiest guy I know

Tried to steal my gal away
He offered her money, he offered her love
She said thank you sir but please don't shove

Your big nose in my business (2x)
That's Nosey Joe, the nosiest guy I know

Old Nosey finally lost his life
Messin' with my buddy's wife
My buddy he caught him with his chick
Chopped off his nose, now he can't stick

His big nose in your business
His big nose I my business
That's Nosey Joe, the nosiest guy I know

There's a place where you can go
Music's hot and lights are low
But there's something you should know
Before the night is through
'Neath a buzzing neon sign
Dressed in style so cool and refined
Stands a man from some other time
Who's calling out to you

There in the night that has heard a thousand voices
Whispered a thousand names
Sang out a thousand love songs
He lives in his Hollywood nocturne, his Hollywood nocturne

There's a place he'd like to go
Where it's cool and lights are low
But the shadows won't let go
They dance and called his name
As he roams the streets at night
Haunted by this devil sight
There's a man in dark red light
Who's calling out to you

As long as I'm singin'
There's a bell up in my brain that's ringin'
Makin' a crazy ding dong
And if this band don't desert me
Then there's nothin' in the world can hurt me
As long as I'm singin' my song
Give me trumpets, legato
Put some saxes with 'em
Bones, pizzicato, gimme rhythm
As long as I'm singin'
Then the world's all right
And everything's swingin'
Long as I'm singin' my song
As long as I'm singin'
Then the world's all right and everything's swingin'
As Long as I'm singin' my
Long as I'm singin' my
Long as I'm singin' my song
