Night In The Ruts
No Surprize
No Surprize
( Tyler / Perry )
Nineteen seventy-one
We all heard the starters gun
New York was such a pity
But at Max's Kansas City we won
We all shot the shit at the bar
A with Johnny O' Toole and his scar
And then ole' Clive Davis said
He's surely gonna make us a star
I'm gonna make you a star
Just the way you are
But with all his style
I could see in his eyes
That we is goin' on trial
And it was no surprize
The boys kept kickin'...
... As usual time would tell
But some bitch do the choir
Throw water on the fire a hell
She loved to show and tell
Lord she loved to tell
But with all our style
You could see in our eyes
That we is still on trial
And it was no surprize
No surprize
No surprize
No surprize
Midnight lady
Situation fetal
Vaccinate your ass wit'chor phonograph needle
I say looky here
Friend of mine
You scratch like you need calamine
Flamingo boots soles a creakin'
Still in love and Puerto Rican too
Ridin' on wheels of hell
Smokin' our axle grease
Oh the backstage is rockin'
And we're coppin' from the local police
That's right the local police
Or the justice of peace
So what with all our style
You could see in our eyes
That we is still on trial
Baby it's no surprize
No surprize
No surprize
No surprize
Rock n' roll junkie whore
Got my foot inside the door
Knock knock... knock knock... knock
Nobody's keepin' score
Bad times go away
Come again some other day
Topaz and sazzafraz
Will keep the blues away
Candy store rock n' roll
Corporation jellyroll
Play the singles it ain't me
It's programmed insanity
You ASCAP if BMI
Could ever make a mountain fly
If Japanese can boil teas
Then where the fuck's my royalties... aar
Yak yak yak yak 'oow
Max's Kanas City was a legendary rock club located at 213 Park Ave South in New York City
Johnny O'toole was a tough huge-ass guy that took a liking to the band in the early days. He let them practice inside the Fenway Theatre for free, protected them from time to time when they got into a schuffle and introduced them to Frank Connelly, the bands first promoter.
Clive Davis was a top executive at Columbia Records and signed the band after watching them kick ass on stage at Max's
ASCAP means The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers... they deal with copyright, licensing and royalties
BMI means Broadcast Music INC. And it performs the same duties as ASCAP

Oh love chiquita... ou ou ou ooouuu
Oh no no now don't you wake me up I'm dreamin'
No no no if you shake me I'll be screamin'

Remember (Walking In The Sand)
Remember (Walking In The Sand)
( G. Morton )
Seems like the other day
My baby went away
She went away 'cross the sea
It's been two years or so
Since I saw my baby go
And then this letter came for me
It said that we was through
She found somebody new
Oh lemmy think lemmy think
What shall I do
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no no no no no
Remember... walking in the sand
Remember... walking hand in hand
Remember... the night was so exciting
Remember... her smile was so inviting
Remember... then she touched my cheek
Remember... with her fingertips
Remember... softly
Softly we met with a kiss
Whatever happened to
That girl that I once knew
The girl that said she'd been true
Oh whatever happened to
That night I gave it to you
What will I do with it now
Oh...
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no no no no
Remember... walking in the sand
Remember... walking hand in hand
Remember... the night was so exciting
Remember... her smile was so inviting
Remember... a then she touched my cheek
Remember... with her fingertips
Remember... softly
Softly we met with a kiss
Whatever happened to
That girl that I once knew
That girl that said she'd been true
Whatever happened to
That night I gave it to you
What would you do with it now

Cheese Cake
( Tyler / Perry )
I met a babe in a backseat drivin'
Back in the saddle she'd sit
Pulled on the reins just to keep me risin'
She loved to chomp at the bit
Daddy do it
Oooo... just do it
Daddy do it please lemmy me see
Do it please just do it
Daddy do it do it drivin' me crazy
