WELL YOU'RE THE REAL TOUGH COOKIE WITH THE LONG HISTORY
OF BREAKING LITTLE HEARTS, LIKE THE ONE IN ME
BEFORE I PUT ANOTHER NOTCH IN MY LIPSTICK CASE
YOU BETTER MAKE SURE YOU PUT ME IN MY PLACE

HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT!
COME ON, HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT!
HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT!
FIRE AWAY!

HIT ME WITH YOUR RHYTHM STICK
HIT ME SLOWLY, HIT ME QUICK
HIT ME, HIT ME, HIT ME.

O EH, O EH, O EH, O EH
O EH, OO AAH, O EH, OO AAH
YAH YA GOH
O EH, O EH, O EH, O EH
O EH, OO AAH, O EH, OO AAH
O EH, O EH
YAH YA GOH

AT NIGHT WHEN YOU TURN OFF ALL THE LIGHTS
THERE'S NO PLACE THAT YOU CAN HIDE
OH NO, THE RHYTHM IS GONNA GET'CHA

RHYTHM IS GONNA GET'CHA
RHYTHM IS GONNA GET'CHA
RHYTHM IS GONNA GET YOU

THE RHYTHM IS GONNA GET YOU TONIGHT

CAN'T RUN, CANT HIDE (YOU CAN'T RUN)
YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T GET AWAY
I OFTEN WONDER WHO YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU THINKIN, WHERE'D YOU GO, BABY
YOUR MOTHER DONE TOLD YOU MORE THAN TWICE IN YOUR LIFE
YOU CAN'T KEEP RUNNIN' AWAY, YOU CAN'T KEEP HIDIN FROM YO MAN, IT'S ALL RIGHT
YOU GOT ME THINKIN, THINKIN
I DON'T REALLY FEEL THE SAME
YOU SHOULD BE THINKIN, THINKIN
LOOSIN' YOU'D BE A SHAME
SO BABY BABY COME AROUND
CAN WE TALK AT LEAST BEFORE THE SUN GOES DOWN, BABY

COME ON EILEEN TOO-LOO RYE-AYE COME ON
EILEEN TOO-LOO RYE-AYE TOORA TOORA-TOO-LOORA

NOW YOU HAVE GROWN, NOW YOU HAVE SHOWN, OH EILEEN
COME ON EILEEN, THESE THINGS THEY ARE REAL AND I KNOW
HOW YOU FEEL
NOW I MUST SAY MORE THAN EVER
THINGS ROUND HERE HAVE CHANGED
TOO-RA LOO-RA TOO-RA LOO-RYE-AYE

I'M SO TIRED
TIRED OF WAITING
TIRED OF WAITING FOR YOU

WATCHING GIRLS GO PASSING BY
IT AIN'T THE LATEST THING
I'M JUST STANDING IN A DOORWAY
I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE SOME SENSE
OUT OF THESE GIRLS GO PASSING BY
THE TALES THEY TELL OF MEN
I'M NOT WAITING ON A LADY
I'M JUST WAITING ON A FRIEND

A SMILE RELIEVES A HEART THAT GRIEVES
REMEMBER WHAT I SAID
I'M NOT WAITING ON A LADY
I'M JUST WAITING ON A FRIEND
I'M JUST WAITING ON A FRIEND

STANDING ON THE CORNER
WATCHING ALL THE GIRLS GO BY
STANDING ON THE CORNER
GIVING ALL THE GIRLS THE EYE

(Sad fact of life is that if you were to do that these days you'd probably get run in).

EARLY IN THE EVENIN' JUST ABOUT SUPPER TIME
OVER BY THE COURTHOUSE THEY'RE STARTING TO UNWIND
FOUR KIDS ON THE CORNER TRYING TO BRING YOU UP
WILLY PICKS A TUNE OUT AND HE BLOWS IT ON THE HARP

DOWN ON THE CORNER - OUT IN THE STREET
WILLY AND THE POORBOYS ARE PLAYIN'
BRING A NICKEL - TAP YOUR FEET

I'M LEANING ON A LAMPPOST
AT THE CORNER OF THE STREET
IN CASE A CERTAIN LITTLE LADY COMES BY.
OH ME! OH MY!
I HOPE THE LITTLE LADY COMES BY.
I DON'T KNOW IF SHE'LL GET AWAY,
SHE DOESN'T ALWAYS GET AWAY,
BUT ANYHOW I KNOW THAT SHE'LL TRY.
OH ME, OH MY!
I HOPE THE LITTLE LADY COMES BY.
Sorry Mike, skipped right over you back to Dave's post, just couldn't resist digging up this old George Formby classic.

THE MORE YOU IGNORE ME
THE CLOSER I GET
YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME
THE MORE YOU IGNORE ME
THE CLOSER I GET
YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME


BEWARE !
I BEAR MORE GRUDGES
THAN LONELY HIGH COURT JUDGES
WHEN YOU SLEEP
I WILL CREEP
INTO YOUR THOUGHTS
LIKE A BAD DEBT
THAT YOU CAN'T PAY
TAKE THE EASY WAY
AND GIVE IN
YEAH, AND LET ME IN
OH, LET ME IN
OH LET ME ...
OH, LET ME IN
IT'S WAR
IT'S WAR
IT'S WAR
IT'S WAR
IT'S WAR
WAR
WAR
WAR
WAR
OH, LET ME IN
AH, THE CLOSER I GET
AH, YOU'RE ASKING FOR IT
AH, THE CLOSER I GET
OOH, THE CLOSER I ...

WAR-HUH
WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
SAY IT AGAIN

WAR-HUH
WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
YEAH

WAR-I DESPISE
'COS IT MEANS DESTRUCTION

OF INNOCENT LIVES
WAR MEANS TEARS
TO THOUSANDS OF MOTHERS HOW
WHEN THEIR SONS GO OFF TO FIGHT
AND LOSE THEIR LIVES

I SAID
WAR-HUH

PASS THE WORD, IT'S A CALL TO ARMS
MIDNIGHT MAN AT YOUR DOOR
BLACKENED FACES RUN IN THE NIGHT
DAYBREAK UNDER THE FLOOR

BRING MY BOW
FILL MY HEAD WITH FLAME, AND WE MUST
LET THEM KNOW THAT THE TORCH IS LIT AGAIN
CRYSTALIZE THE PAIN BEHIND YOUR EYES
ARE YOU READY TO FIGHT?

EVERYBODY WAS KUNG FU FIGHTING
THOSE CATS WERE FAST AS LIGHTNING
IN FACT IT WAS A LITTLE BIT FRIGHTENING
BUT THEY FOUGHT WITH EXPERT TIMING.

BLACK AND ORANGE STRAY CAT SITTIN' ON A FENCE
AIN'T GOT ENOUGH DOUGH TO PAY THE RENT
I'M FLAT BROKE BUT I DON'T CARE
I STRUT RIGHT BY WITH MY TAIL IN THE AIR

STRAY CAT STRUT, I'M A (LADIES CAT)
I'M A FELINE CASANOVA (HEY MAN THAT'S THAT)
GET A SHOE THROWN AT ME FROM A MEAN OLD MAN
GET MY DINNER FROM A GARBAGE CAN

I DON'T BOTHER CHASIN' MICE AROUND, OH NO
I SLINK DOWN THE ALLEY LOOKIN' FOR A FIGHT
HOWLIN' TO THE MOONLIGHT ON A HOT SUMMER NIGHT

SINGING THE BLUES WHILE THE LADY CATS CRY
WOW, STRAY CAT YOU'RE A REAL GONE GUY

I WISH I COULD BE AS CAREFREE AND WILD
BUT I GOT CAT CLASS AND I GOT CAT STYLE
