Well don't you ever be sad
Lean on me when times are bad
When the day comes and you're down,
In a river of trouble baby, about to drown.

Hold on, I'm coming.
You gotta hold on, I'm coming.

When you get cold, yeah, I'll be your cover
Don't have to worry because I'm here.
Don't need to suffer because I'm here.

Well hold on, I said I'm coming right now.
You gotta hold on, I'm coming.

Let The Good Times Roll

Hey everybody,
Let's have some fun
You only live but once
And when you're dead you're done

So let the good times roll,
Well everybody's gonna let the good times roll,
I don't care if you're young or old,
Just let the good times roll

Don't sit there mumbling
Talkin' trash
If you want to have a ball,
go out and spend some cash

Now let the good times roll now,
Well I said everybody's gonna let the good times roll,
I don't care if you're young or old,
Just let the good times roll

Hey everybody, John Evan's in town,
(If you're gonna come down, wear a crown,)
But don't let no female, (play me cheap,)
I got fifty cents more than I'm gonna keep.

So let the good times roll,
Well I said everybody's gonna let the good times roll,
I don't care if you're young or old,
Just let the good times roll

Hey no matter whether, rainy weather,
If you want to have some fun, you got to get yourself together,
Get yourself under control, and let the good times roll.
 

Don't Fight It

There you sit now baby, all by yourself
Everybody's dancin'; they can't help themselves
I said they feel much too strong; they can't hold out long
So get up, don't fight it; you've got to feel it, feel it
Come on, alright

Oh you gotta get on up now baby, and get the groove
You know what, baby? I like the way you move
You do the thing like you ought to be, all right
So don't fight it baby, don't you fight it, you gotta feel it, feel it
Alright

You know what baby, baby; I'd like to make you mine
Oh and after the dance I'm gonna take you home
So don't fight it, baby you've got to (feel it, feel it, alright
So don't fight it baby, don't you fight it, you gotta feel it, feel it
Alright

There you sit now baby, all by yourself
Everybody's dancin'; they can't help themselves

And don't fight it baby, don't you fight it, you gotta feel it, feel it
Don't you fight it baby, I said don't fight it now, you gotta feel it, feel it
Come on baby, come on and do the things I do, alright

Mr. Pitiful

They call me Mr. Pitiful
I said baby thats my name

And people just don`t understand now
What could make a man sing such a sad song
Oh he lost everything right now,

I said they call me Mr. Pitiful
Oh everybodt knows
They call me Mr. Pitiful, right now
Almost everywhere I go

And people don`t understand now

Well he lost everything right now,

Oh what must make a man feel so blue

Stupidity

Hey,
Everybody,

All around the world
Every boy and girl
Take a lesson from me
Baby, that's stupidity

Alright, come along with me
You gotta see how much fun it can be
You watch it on TV
Baby that's stupidity

My papa says I look so silly
My mama says I look a fool
I don't mind their criticism
Cause I'm learning every day at school

Come along with me
You gotta see how much fun it can be
You watch it on TV
Baby that's stupidity

Come along with me
Baby that's stupidity

My papa says I look so silly
My mama says I look a fool
I don't mind their criticism
Cause I'm learning every day at school

Come along with me
You gotta see how much fun it can be
You watch it on TV
Baby, that's stupidity

Alright,
Come on, come on baby
It's all right
You gotta do the stupidity baby

Work Song

Alright now baby,
I wanna tell you oe thing right now,
I'm gonna tell you how to work, work, work on the chain gang
Alright

Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang
Breaking rocks and serving my time
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang
Because they done convicted me of crime
Hold it steady right there while I hit it
well reckon that ought to get it
been working and working
but I still got so terribly far to go

Gonna find my long-legged baby
Gonna take these chains off and run
Gonna lay down somewhere shady
Lord it sure is hot in the sun
Hold steady right there while I hit it
well reckon that ought to get it
been workin'
I said I'm workin'
but I still got so terribly far to go

I heard the judge say five years of labor
On chain-gang you must go
I heard the judge say five years labor
I heard my woman scream "Lordy, no!"
So, hold steady right there while I hit it
well reckon that ought to get it
been working and working
but I still got so terribly far to go

Gonna find my long-legged baby
Gonna take these chains off and run
Gonna lay down somewhere shady
Lord it sure is hot in the sun
Hold steady right there while I hit it
well reckon that ought to get it
been workin'
I said I'm workin'
but I still got so terribly far to go

Breaking rocks on the chain gang
Breaking rocks and serving my time
