Transylvania Boogie

[No lyrics]

Don't it ever get lonesome?
Yeah! Sure gets lonesome...
Don't it ever get sad when you go out on the road?
Oh, there was one time in Minneapolis... when I thought I had the clap for sure
Don't it ever get lonesome?
Lonesome ain't the word
Don't it ever get sad when you go out on a thirty day tour?
Oh, I'll take away...
You got nothing but groupies and promoters to love you
And a pile of laundry by the hotel door

Don't it ever get lonesome?
Don't it ever give a young man the blues?
Don't it ever get lonesome?
Don't it ever make a young man wanna go back home?
When the P.A. system eats it,
And the band plays some of the most terriblest shit you've ever known

Don't you ever miss your house in the country
And your hot little mama too?
Don't you ever miss your house in the country
And your hot little mama too?
Don't you better get a shot from the doctor
What the Road Ladies do to you?

I know someday I will never
I'll never go out on the road again, oh, yeah...
I know someday I will never
I ain't gonna roam the countryside
No more
I'm gonna hang up them ol' Holiday Inns, yeah
And heal my knees up
From when I was doin' it on the floor
See me doing it!
See me do it on the floor!

Don't you ever miss your house in the country
And your hot little mama too?
Don't you ever miss your house in the country
And your hot little mama too?
Don't you better get a shot from the doctor
What the Road Ladies do to you?

Tell me you love me, tell me you love me
Like I want you to
Tell me you love me, tell me you love me
Girl... girl... girl...
I love you so hard now, I'm cryin' for you
Don't make me lose my pride
I want to come inside
And grab ahold of you, baby
And grab ahold of you

Tell me you love me, tell me you love me
Like I want you to
Tell me you love me, tell me you love me
Now... now... now...
I want to feel it, give me your love now
Don't make me steal it, don't make me steal it
Tell me you love me, tell me you love me,
Tell me you love me, tell me you love me!
Tell me you love me, tell me you love me,
Tell me you love me, tell me you love me!

Tell me you love me, tell me you love me
Like I want you to
Tell me you love me, tell me you love me
Girl... girl... girl...
I love you so hard now, I'm cryin' for you
Burnin' with fire, I gotta hot desire
'Cause I gotta make love with you,
'Cause I gotta make love with you, baby
'Cause I gotta make love with you,
'Cause I gotta make love with you

Tell me you love me, like I want you to
Tell me you love me, like I want you to
Tell me you love me, like I want you to

Aaaaahhh, yeah!

Remember Freddie and Jo?
The night you went to the show?
(A monster movie)
Clutchin' at yer hand
(Wait ten seconds)
Clutchin' at yer arm
(Wait ten seconds)
Clutchin' at yer elbow –
(Wait ten seconds)
Where did your brassiere go?
When the monster came out,
'N everybody shout!
People all around you,
Screamin' at the monster;
The Monster From The U.S.O.

Who's this dude with his hair straight back?
His new white socks, 'n his pants all black;
His T-shirts rolled –
His watch is gold –
A '55 Chevy that his brother just stoled,
With his arm's around yer waist –
An' his hand is in yer pants –
An' he asks you for a date
To the servicemen's dance!

Suppose you don't wanna?
What can you do?
When a joker like that
Got his hands on you –
Oh, baby!
T-T-T-Tell me baby
Would you go all the way
For the U.S.O.?
Would you go all the way
For the U.S.A.?
Would you go all the way
For the U.S.O.?
Lift up your dress, if the answer is "no"...

Would you go all the way
For the U.S.A.?
Would you go all the way
For the U.S.A.?
Would you go all the way
For the U.S.A.?
Would you go all the way?
Would you go all the way?

Would you go all the way
For the U.S.A.?
Would you go all the way
For the U.S.A.?
Would you go all the way
For the U.S.A.?
Would you go all the way?
Would you go all the way?
Would you go all the way?
Would you go all the way?

Away-y-y! Away-y-y! Away-y-y!
Doowah.

I'm cryin'
I'm cryin'
Cryin' for Sharleena.
Can't you see

I called up all my baby's friends
'N ask'n um
where she done went.
But nobody 'round here seems to know,
Where my Sharleena's been.
Where my Sharleena's been.

Ten long years I have been lovin' here
Ten long years
And I thought deep down in my heart
She was mine.
Ten long years I have been lovin' here
Ten long years and I would call her my baby, and now,
I'm always cryin'.

I would be so delighted.
I would be so delighted.
If they would just
Send her on home to me
