zz top - rough boy

What in the world's come all over me?
I ain't got a chance of one in three.
Ain't got no rap, ain't got no line
but if you'll give me just a minute I'll be feelin' fine.

I am the one who can fade the heat,
the one they all say just can't be beat.
I'll shoot it to you straight and look you in the eye.
So gimme just a minute and I'll tell you why
I'm a rough boy, I'm a rough boy.

I don't care how you look at me
because I'm the one and you will see
we can make it work, we can make it by.
So give me one more minute and I'll tell you why
I'm a rough boy, I'm a rough boy.

She's got legs, she knows how to use them.
She never begs, she knows how to choose them.

Would you get behind them if you could only find them?
She's my baby, she's my baby,
yeah, it's alright.

She's got hair down to her fanny.

zz top - jailhouse rock

The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone,
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang,
The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Number forty-seven said to number three:
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure would be delighted with your company,
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me"
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair"
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Shifty Henry said to Bugsy, "For Heaven's sake,
No one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break"
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix,
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks"
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

zz top - sharp dressed man

Clean shirt, new shoes
And I don't know where I'm goin' to
Silk suit, black tie
I don't need a reason why
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
Coz every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man
Gold watch, diamond ring
I ain't missin' not a single thing
And cufflinks, stick pin
When I step out I'm gonna do you in
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
Coz every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man
Top coat, top hat
I don't worry coz my wallet's fat
Black shades, white gloves
Lookin' sharp and lookin' for love
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
Coz every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man

zz top - 2000 blues

A hundred thousand dollars
Wouldn't touch the price i paid
Of the hundred thousand moments
Of the times i wish i'd stayed.
But even if i had all the time and money,
It's still the same old news.
Nothin' does you any good
When you got 2000 blues.

Ten thousand clouds
On a rainy rainy day
Couldn't wash away
All the dust and the haze.
But i tried and i tried
To search for all the clues,
Why i can't wash away
These 2000 blues.

If i had an airplane
With a co-pilot too,
I'd fly to a planet
That was closest to you.
I'd set the tracking system
With your safety fuse,
And set the countdown
For 2000 blues.

zz top - tush

I been up, I been down.
Take my word, my way around.
I ain't askin' for much.
I said, Lord, take me downtown,
I'm just lookin' for some tush.

I been bad, I been good,
Dallas, Texas, Hollywood.
I ain't askin' for much.
I said, Lord, take me downtown,
I'm just lookin' for some tush.

Take me back way back home,
not by myself, not alone.
I ain't askin' for much.
I said, Lord, take me downtown,
I'm just lookin' for some tush.

zz top - beatbox

A nine volt battery from japan

It's got the beat

A little tape deck in my hand

It's so so sweet

Keeps me rockin' ?round the clock

I don't mind it

I got the beatbox, the beatbox,

Just a beatin' that box

Beatbox, beatbox

One c-90's back to back

Jumpin?on that jack

Don't play with fire or

Unplug my wire, beg or steal

It's not for hire

Keeps me rockin' ?round the clock

I don't mind it because

I got the beatbox, the beatbox

Just a beatin?that box

Beatbox, beatbox

zz top - just got paid

I just got paid today,
got me a pocket full of change.
Said, I just got paid today,
got me a pocket full of change.
If you believe like workin' hard all day,
just step in my shoes and take my pay.

I was born my papa's son,
when I hit the ground I was on the run.
I had one glad hand and the other behind.
You can have yours, just give me mine.
When the hound dog barkin' in the black of the night,
stick my hand in my pocket, everything's all right.

I just got paid today,
got me a pocket full of change.
Said, black sheep, black, do you got some wool?
Yes, I do, man, my bag is full.
It's the root of evil and you know the rest
but it's way ahead of what's second best.

IV. "Long Distance Boogie"

Is everybody feelin' good? You makin' us feel good, too!
Now, early this morning I got on that long distance telephone
and I called my mama.
I said, "Mama, this is your boy, and I'm way down here in
New Orleans, Louisiana."
And she said, "That's all right, boy."
And she turned to my papa and she said,
"Papa, our boy's way down there in New Orleans.
We cannot let him stay out all night long."
She did!
Long about that time, I heard my papa lean toward my mama.
I heard papa tell mama, "Let that boy boogie-woogie."
He said, "It's in him and it's got to come out."

So I went downtown.
There's a lot of people there.
They was-a really havin' a ball.
And I felt so good.
Yes, I felt so good.
Yes, I felt so good.
Yes, I felt so good.
Yes, I felt so good.
Yes, I felt so good.
Yes, I felt so good.

Boogie, children!

Boogie, children!

zz top - decision or collision

She's so fine, makes me lose my mind,
I wish to apply my manhood.
I'll be glad to go to her pad and
Maybe the whole band could.

I got to make a decision
To avoid a collision.

She's so tuff, my knee's a little rough
From crawlin' on across her floor.
If she'd place an order I'd drink her bath water and
Not even use a chaser.

I got to make a decision
To avoid a collision.

Her lips are wet and I'd make a bet
She's been suckin' on her watermellon rind.
She's a picture of wealth and I know myself
That I'd take what she leaves behind.

zz top - i got the message

I'm picking up on a signal
that's in the air tonight.
It's sparkin' my receiver,
it feels like dynamite.
I got the message
but I wanna get it straight from you.

My mind is electric,
I'm about to blow a fuse.
The cockpit is empty
so shoot it down the tube.
I got the message
but I wanna get it straight from you.

I've got to make a connection.
I'm on needles and pins.
Workin' up a printout
and I'm gonna zero in.
I got the message
but I wanna get it straight from you.

zz top - doubleback

I got shot through a space not long ago,
I thought I knew the place so well.
It wasn't the same, now it goes to show,
Sometime you never can tell.

I'm lookin' high and low, don't know where to go,
I got to double back, my friend.
The only way to find, what I left behind
I got to double back again, double back again.

You know I'm movin on in this fine machine,
Rollin' on through the night.
Seein' things like I've never seen
And it's taking me outta sight.

Lookin' high and low, don't know where to go,
I got to double back, my friend.
The only way to find, what I left behind
I got to double back again, double back again.

It's got me up and down,
I been lost and found,
Down in a deep dark hole.
Looks like my luck has changed,
I been rearranged
And I'm coming out on a roll.

Lookin' high and low, don't know where to go,
I got to double back, my friend.
The only way to find, what I left behind
I got to double back again, double back again.

Double Back Again, Double Back Again

zz top - stages

It's a prime time to fall in love with you.
I ain't got a single thing to do.
It happened before I knew what was going on.
I'm not allowed to knew that I was born.
Stages keep on changin'
Stages rearranging love.
Then you left me standin' all alone
I couldn't even get you on the phone.
Were you just confused and didn't know
If you should stay or if you had to go.
Stages keep on changin'
Stages rearranging love.
Now you're back and say you're gonna stay
I wouldn't have it any other way.
Tell me it's for real
ain't nothing wrong.
Why does lovin' have to come and go?
Stages keep on changin'
Stages rearranging love.
