Lyrical Response

[PastaJoe]

So long honey babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
Goodbye is too good a word, babe
So I just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Now-a I see you come down on the scene
Oh foxy
You make me want to get up and a scream
Foxy, oh baby listen now
I've made up my mind
Yeah, I'm tired of wasting all my precious time
You got to be all mine, all mine
Foxy lady
Here I come
Foxy

[Gray Beard]

Shout Shout, knock, yourself out

Come On yell, yell, loud, and swell

You Gotta scream, scream, you know what I mean

Put Another dime in the record machine

Hey We're havin' a party now it's just begun

We're All over here and havin' fun

Joe's All alone and he wants to be kissed

While Mary's in the corner and she's doin' the twist

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

There she is again standin' over by the record machine
Looking like a model on the cover of a magazine
She's too cute to be a minute over seventeen

 

Meanwhile I was thinkin'

 

If she's in the mood no need to break it
I got the chance and I oughta take it
If she can dance we can make it
C'mon queenie let's shake it

 

Go, go, go, little queenie

Well I'm a-standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl my lord in a flatbed Ford

Slowin' down to take a look at me

 

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

As I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a coup de ville.
A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road,
Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford.
The Cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five,
She's bumper to bumper rollin' side by side.

 

Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You've started back doing the things you used to do.

 

(Yes two Chuck Berry songs in a row. Fight me.)

[Gray Beard]

You know I can be found
Sitting home all alone
If you can't come around
At least please telephone
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true

[WhoTom]

Readin' that Tulsa telephone book, can drive a guy insane
Especially if that girl you're lookin' for has no last name
I gotta find her and tell her, I don't want our love to end
So I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again

 

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Well, I've heard my name
A few times in your phone book (hello, hello)
And I've seen it on signs where I've played
But the only time I know
I'll hear "David Allan Coe"
Is when Jesus has his final judgment day

[Gray Beard]

Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
Say baby I love you
If you ain't runnin' game
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't callin' me baby
Why the sudden change

[Figster]

I am, I am, I am
I said I wanna get next to you
I said I gonna get close to you
You wouldn't want me have to hurt you too, hurt you too?

I ain't, I ain't, I ain't
A buyin' into your apathy
I'm gonna learn ya my philosophy
You wanna know about atrocity, atrocity?

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

I met this girl for the first time on Saturday night
Standing in the queue at the Odeon alright
Oh I took her by surprise
When I gave her one of my lines
She started smiling at me real fine (ha)
That's when I said

 

Can I sit next to you, girl
Can I sit next to you, girl
Can I sit next to you, girl
Can I sit next to you, girl
Can I sit next to you?

[Gray Beard]

I can turn the gray sky blue
I can make it rain, whenever I want it to, oh I
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand
I can make a ship sail, on dry land tell 'em yeah
But my life is incomplete and I'm so blue
'Cause I can't get next to you

I can't get next to you, babe (next to you)
I can't get next to you (I just can't get next you)
I can't get next to you, babe
I can't get next to you

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Like a lazy flowing river
Surrounding castles in the sky
And the crowd is growing bigger
Listening for the happy sounds
And I got to let them fly

 

Woah, oh listen to the music
Woah, oh listen to the music
Woah, oh listen to the music
All the time

[WhoTom]

God save the child who rings that bell
May have one good ring baby, you can't tell
One watch by night, one watch by day
If you get confused, listen to the music play!

 

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Golden rings (golden ring) with one tiny little stone
Waiting there (waiting there) for someone to take you home
By itself (by itself) it's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring

[Gray Beard]

Who wants to buy this diamond ring?
She took it off her finger, now it doesn't mean a thing
This diamond ring doesn't shine for me anymore
And this diamond ring doesn't mean what it meant before
So if you've got someone whose love is true
Let it shine for you

[WhoTom]

Now Leroy, he's a gambler
And he likes his fancy clothes
And he likes to wave his diamond rings
In front of everybody's nose

 

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Man buys ring woman throws it away
Same old thing happens everyday
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
(How can you laugh) When you know I'm down

[PastaJoe]

Well, I've been down so Goddamn long
That it looks like up to me
Well, I've been down so very damn long
That it looks like up to me
Yeah, why don't one you people
C'mon and set me free
