(E.Cochran/S.Sheeley)

[Originally by Stray Cats]

Hey look a there
Here she comes
Here comes that girl again
Wanted to date her
Since I don't know when
But she don't notice me
When I pass
She goes with all the guys
From out of my class
But that can't stop me
From a thinkin' to myself
She's sure fine lookin', man
She's somethin' else

Hey look a there
Across the street
There's car
Meant just for me
To own that car
Would be a luxury
But right now
I can't afford the gas
A brand new convertible
Is out of my class
But that can't stop me
From a thinkin' to myself
That car's fine lookin', man
It's somethin' else

Hey look a here
Just wait and see
Work hard
And save my dough
I'll buy that car
That I've been wantin' so
Get me that girl
And we'll go ridin' around
We'll look real sharp
With the white top down
I'll keep right on a dreamin'
And a thinkin' to myself
When it all comes true man
Wow, that's somethin' else

Hey, look a here
What's all this
Never thought I'd do this before
But here I am
A knockin' on a door
My car's out front
And it's all mine
Just a '41 Ford
Not a '59
I got that girl
And I'm a thinkin' to myself
She's sure fine lookin', man
Wow, she's somethin' else

Girl you think you've had loving,
Girl you think you've had fun,
Girl you ain't a seen nothin' 'til I come along.

I'm a daddy, I'm a daddy, I'm a daddy,
Yeah I'm a daddy daddy I'm daddy rolling stone.

I got a friend named Cody,
He's got a girl named Chris,
I'm gonna steal that girl though he's twice my size,
'Cause I know how to do it like this.

I'm a daddy, I'm a daddy, I'm a daddy,
Yeah I'm a daddy daddy I'm daddy rolling stone,
I'm daddy rolling stone, I'm daddy rolling stone,
Daddy rolling stone, call me daddy rolling stone.

I said I got a friend named Cody,
He's got a girl named Chris,
I'm gonna steal that girl though he's twice my size,
'Cause I know how to do it like this.

I'm a daddy, I'm a daddy, I'm a daddy, daddy,
I'm daddy rolling stone, I'm daddy rolling stone,
Just call me daddy rolling stone dear,
Long hair long nose, daddy rolling stone.

You've got to walk that walk
You've got to talk that talk
You've got to be that girl
In the diamond world
C'mon cut me so fast

Pirate love
Is what I'm looking for
Pirate love
Is what I'm wanting for
I never ever needed it so bad
Yeah!

Well the blood's running cold, ain't it
All the mommies are praying
Little girls are saying 'no'
And big girls always want more


Pirate love
Is what I'm looking for
Pirate love
Is what I'm wanting for
I never ever needed it so bad
Yeah!

Well I'm locked in all these getups
Everybody seems too cruel
I can't tell who's who
Without a bag of voodoo

Pirate love
Is what I'm looking for
Pirate love
Is what I'm wanting for
I never ever needed it so fast
Fast!
Fast!

Pirate love
Is what I'm looking for
Pirate love
Is what I'm wanting for
I never ever needed it so bad
Yeah!

As I was lyin in a hospital bed
A rock n roll nurse went into my head
She says, hold ya arm, stick out ya tounge
I gots some pills I'm gonna give you somes

She went into my head, into my head
A rock n roll nurse, went into my head
Into my head, into my head
While I was lyin in a hodpital bed

A little pill for my legs, but that didn't ache
I tried some pills for my heart, but a little to late
Gots some pills for my love, to put me at ease
Ats when a rock n roll nurse shook me down to my knees

She went into my head, shoved into my head
A rock n roll nurse went into my head
Into my head, into my head
As I was lyin in a hospital bed

(I got the rock n roll nusre...)

Nursey nursey, I dont see
Well I don't understand what your doin to me
Said ya give me th pills, then ya give me the shot
Got me wonderin what is worse I got

She went into my head, shoved into my head
A rock n roll nurse went into my head
Into my head, into my head
As I was lyin in a hospital bed

(I got the rock n roll nurse
She's a makin it worse
Keep shootin it right
To my head...)

Doctor doctor! Run here and see
I dont think th job the nurse is givin me
Gives me the shots, gives me th pills
Got me takin this junk, against my wills

She went into my head, shoved into my head
A rock n roll nurse went into my head
Into my head, into my head
As I was lyin in a hospital bed

Personality Crisis/Looking for a Kiss

[No lyrics]

I crashed in the jungle while trying to keep a date
With my little girl who was back in the States
I was stranded in the jungle, afraid, alone
Trying to figure a way to get a message back home
But how was I to know that the wreckage of my plane
Had been picked up and spotted and my girl in Lover's Lane

Meanwhile, back in the States


Baby, baby, let's make romance
You know your old-time lover hasn't got a chance
He's stranded in the jungle, sad as he can be
So come on pretty baby, just you and me


Meanwhile, back in the jungle


The boys in the jungle had me on the run
When something heavy hit me like an atomic bomb
When I woke up and my head started to clear
I had a strange feeling I was cooking gear
I smelled something cooking and I looked to see
That's when I found out they was cookin' me
Ooga booga, lemme outta here!


Meanwhile, back in the States


Baby, baby, let's make romance
You know your old-time lover hasn't got a chance
He's stranded in the jungle sad as he can be
So come on pretty baby just you and me


Meanwhile, back in the jungle


I jumped out of the pot, I finally got away
I was frantic, worried about what my baby would say
So I jumped in the ocean and started to swim
My chance of surviving was gettin' slim
So I thumbed down a whale that was headed my way
And I reached the States in about half a day
When I got to Lover's Lane I was almost dead
Heard him talkin' to my baby, and this is what he said


Baby, baby, the man's no good
Baby, baby, should have understood
You can trust me just as long as you please
So come back pretty baby where you used to be
Cause I love you (I love you, I love you, you're fine baby)
Cause I love you (So damn fine)
Cause I love you (I got a job; I have money too)
Cause I love you (Did I show you my vehicle)
Cause I love you (I'll take you for a ride)
Cause I love you
