On the day I was born, the nurses all gathered
'round
And they gazed in wide wonder, at the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up, and she said leave this one
alone
She could tell right away, that I was bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone
I broke a thousand hearts, before I met you
I'll break a thousand more baby, before I am through
I wanna be yours pretty baby, yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey, that I'm bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone
I make a rich woman beg, I'll make a good woman steal
I'll make an old woman blush, and make a young woman
squeal
I wanna be yours pretty baby, yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey, that I'm bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad

I can't stop lovin', my baby tonight
I can't stop lovin', my baby tonight
No matter what I do, she won't treat me right
Hey baby, you know I'm all alone
Hey baby, you know I'm all alone
Ain't had no lovin', since you been gone from home
I love you pretty Baby, but as for myself
I love you baby, but as for myself
I wouldn't mistreat you, for nobody else
And I can't stop lovin', my baby tonight
And I can't stop lovin', my baby tonight
No matter what I do, she won't treat me right
I can't stop-a lovin', my baby tonight
I can't stop-a lovin', my baby tonight
No matter what I do, she won't treat me right

Early one morning while makin' the rounds,
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my baby down
I shot her down then I went to bed,
I stuck that lovin' forty-four beneath my head
Woke up next morning and I grabbed that gun,
I took a shot of cocaine and away I run
Made a good run but I run too slow,
they overtook me down in Juarez Mexico
In the hot joint takin' the pill,
there walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill
Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown,
you're the dirty hack that shot your woman down
Yes, so my name's is Billy Lee,
if you've got a warrant you better read it to me
I shot her down 'cause she made me sore,
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more
When I was arrested I was dressed in black,
they threw me on a freight train and hauled me back
Had no friend who'd go my bail,
they stuck my dried-up carcass in the county jail
Early next morning 'round half past nine,
I saw the sheriff comin' down the line
That sheriff yelled as he cleared his throat,
said come on you dirty hackin' to the district court
Into the courtroom my trial began,
where I was judged by twelve honest men
Yes, as the jury started walkin' out,
I saw that little judge commence to look about
In about five minutes then walked a man,
holding the verdict in his right hand
The verdict read in the first degree,
I shouted Lordy Lordy please have mercy on me
The judge he smiled when he picked up his pen,
ninety-nine years in the San Quentin Penn
Ninety-nine years underneath that ground,
but I can't forget that day I shot that bad bitch down
Come on you hotheads you listen to me,
stay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be

Fried

On the outskirts of town, there's a little night
spot,
Dan dropped in about five o'clock
Took off his jacket, said "The night is short",
he reached in his pocket and he flashed a quart
He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with you!
Rave on, cats", he cried
"It's almost dawn, the cops are gone,
let's all get Dixie fried"
Well, Dan got happy and he started raving,
he pulled out a razor, but he wasn't shaving
And all the cats knew to jump and hop,
'cause he was born and raised in a butcher shop
He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with you!
Rave on, cats", he cried
"It's almost dawn, the cops are gone,
let's all get Dixie fried"
Well, the cops heard Dan when he started to shout,
they all ran in to see what it was about
And I heard him holler as they led him away,
he turned his head, and this is what he had to say
He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with you!
Rave on, cats", he cried
"It's almost dawn, the cops are gone,
let's all get Dixie fried"
Now, Dan was the bravest man that we ever saw,
he let us all know he wasn't scared of the law
The black dog barked, but the boy didn't flinch,
he said "It ain't my fault, hon, that I been pinched"
He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with you!
Rave on, cats", he cried
"It's almost dawn, the cops are gone,
let's all get Dixie fried"
Now, Dan was the bravest man we ever saw,
he let us all know he wasn't scared of the law
And I heard him holler as they led him away,
he turned his head, and this was what he had to say
He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with you!
Rave on, cats", he cried
"It's almost dawn, the cops are gone,
let's all get Dixie fried"
"Yeah, it's almost dawn, the cops ain't gone,
and I've been Dixie fried"

Running my rig around ninety-five,
rockin' and rollin' in overdrive
My heart's beating like a jackhammer,
it's the midnight ride for the gear jammer
Nine long days through twenty-three states,
I gotta see my baby soon you know I just can't wait
The police catch me I'll end up in the slammer,
'cause the law don't want no gear jammer
Running my rig in a mighty high gear,
I don't care where I go just long as it ain't here
Something gets in my way you know I'm gonna ram it,
nobody fools around with this gear jammer
Running my rig about ninety-five,
I'm a-rockin' and a-rollin' in overdrive
My heart's beating like a jackhammer,
don't you get in the way of this gear jammer

I was a rebel from the day I left school,
grew my hair long and broke all the rules
I'd sit and listen to my records all day,
with big ambitions of where I could play
My parents taught me what life was about,
so I grew up the type they warned me about
They said my friends were just an unruly mob,
and I should get a haircut and get a real job
Get a haircut and get a real job,
clean your act up and don't be a slob
Get it together like your big brother bob,
why don't you get a haircut and get a real job
I even tried that 9 to 5 scene,
I told myself that it was all a bad dream
I found a band and some good songs to play,
and now I party all night, I sleep all day
I met this chick she was my No. 1 fan,
she took me home to meet her mommy and dad
They took one look at me and said, "Oh my god",
get a haircut and get a real job
Get a real job, why don't you get a real job
Get a real job, why don't you get a real job
I hit the big time with my rock 'n' roll band,
the future's brighter now than I'd ever planned
I'm ten times richer than my big brother bob,
and he, he's got a haircut he's got a real job
Why don't you get a haircut and get a real job
I even tried that 9 to 5 scene

Yeah, I really, really, really, really, really, really like
girls
I like girls
I like girls
I like girls
I like the way that they giggle,
when they walk up and ask you to dance
I like the way that they wiggle,
wrapped up in the skin tight pants
They got style
They got smiles
They drive me wild!
Yeah, I really, really, really, really, really, really like
girls
Yes, I really, really, really, really, really, really like
girls!
I like them small
I like 'em tall
I like 'em all!
Now it don't bother me,
if a girl don't know how to cope
Because the things that they know,
how to do can't be learned in a book!
They got smarts
They got hearts
They got my heart!
That's why I really, really, really, really, really, really
like girls
Yeah, I really, really, really, really, really, really like
girls!
I want 'em small

Every day in every way they're here to stay
They're really really neat
They're really sweet
They're real petite
I like girls!
