Lyrical Response

[SinceThe70s]

A man I know, went down to Louisiana
Had himself a bad, bad fight
And when the sun peeked through
John Cameron with Suzanna
He kissed the whiskers, left and right
Whiskers

[Just Jack]

When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump
And said, "boy, let me tell you what"

[PastaJoe]

People, don't you understand
A child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me
Are we too blind to see
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way

[Gugny]

So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothin' left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Ooh, take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that's what I've got to face

[Big Turk]

Take on me....take on me...

Take me on...take me on....

I'll be gone...

In a day or two...

 

[PastaJoe]

So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit
One more time

[Just Jack]

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're goin' my way
I wanna drive it all night long

The creature from New Orleans
Was the first to strike
He came a-spittin' fire out to
Take a life
That screamin' devils feet never
Touched the ground, while the
Bird from Mexico tried to cut him
Down
But I never got to see who had
Won the fight, that cottonmouth
Farmer he shot out the light
Took everybody's money and the
Sheriff's wife, so welcome to a
Louisiana #### fight
Get it on - get it on

[Just Jack]

The devil went down to Georgia, he was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind
And he was willin' to make a deal

[WhoTom]

I ran down to the levee
But the Devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill
And he vanished in the air

So, bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
And them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin', "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"

[DD4Bills]

I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money yeah and I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she'd love me, no never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman yeah for you know she tricked me easy

Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o

[WhoTom]

She swore that she would be all mine
And love me 'til the end

[PastaJoe]

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes again

[Just Jack]

And say, we can dance, we can dance
Everything's out of control
We can dance, we can dance
They're doing it from pole to pole
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody's taking the chance
Safety dance
Oh well, the safety dance
Ah yes, the safety dance

[DD4Bills]

On Thursday night she looked a fright

Her pricky hair all curled, oh what a sight

Dance, dance, little sister, dance

[WhoTom]

I got a girl, she lives on the hill
She won't do it but her sister will

[Bill from NYC]

Please don' t dominate the rap, Jack
If you've got nothing new to say
If you please, go back up the track
This train' s got to run today

 

I spent a little time on the mountain
I spent a little time on the hill
I heard someone say better run away
Others say better stand still

Stand back, stand back
In the middle of my room, I did not hear from you
It's alright, it's alright
To be standing in a line (Standing in a line)
To be standing in a line
I would cry

[Just Jack]

If you question what I would do
To get over and be with you
Lift you up over everything
To light up my room
