1.It's Hot Tonight
It's hot tonight;
too hot for talkin'.
It's hot tonight.
I sweat tonight.
I sweat, no sleepin'.
It's too hot tonight.
Dogs are barkin',
cats are screamin',
streets are steamin',
and God's own heat's the devil's demon.
Yeah.
My turn tonight
to burn with fever.
I burn tonight.
I smoke tonight.
I'm all on fire.
Damn hot tonight.
Summer nights,
they make me crazy,
makes me all hazy.
It's hot tonight;
too hot for talkin'.
It's hot tonight.
I sweat tonight.
I sweat, no sleepin'.
It's too hot tonight.
Dogs are barkin',
cats are screamin',
streets are steamin',

Yeah.
2.Lace And Whiskey
I find myself runnin' in circles,
lost and half insane.
And I need a cure sometimes
to knock out the pain.
So I yell out for some kind of angel
to come down and rescue me.
Be as soft as you can;
put a drink in my hand.
I'm as scared as I ever could be.
Give me lace and whiskey:
mama's own remedy,
double indemnity;
fills me with ecstasy.
Lace and whiskey.
Lots of things I really want, yeah.
Lots of things I really need.
There's an animal soul inside
that I got to feed.
A hot mama, feminine body
always gets a rise from me.
She's so soft in my hands;
I give her all she can stand.
Make a full fledged man out of me.
Give me lace and whiskey:
mama's own remedy,
double indemnity;
fills me with ecstasy.
Lace and whiskey.
Lace and whiskey.
I ain't hard-assed,
so, babe, don't make me mean.
I want a hot place
to grow and show you things.
Give me lace and whiskey:
mama's own remedy,
double indemnity;
fills me with ecstasy.
Lace and whiskey.
End up a broken old hobo
with red and yellow eyes,
swearin' and drunk and dyin'
no one's surprise.
That's a long, long way today, babe,
as far as I can see.
So shake off your shoes;
go and get me my booze.
Lay your love and your laces on me.
Give me lace and whiskey:
mama's own remedy,
double indemnity;
fills me with ecstasy.
Lace and whiskey.
Lace and whiskey.
Lace and whiskey.
3.Road Rats
We work this band 'cause they make it rock,
but we're the guys that make it roll.
We move the drums and amps and junk.
Road rats:
we're a pack,
and the road's our home.
On the road half my young man's life.
I spend a lot of time;
ain't got no bread to show for it.
Road rats:
all the cash spent on whites and wine.
We're the men behind the man.
We're the backbone muscle clan.
We do a thousand one night stands.
If the stars can make it,
if the band can shake it,
well, if those guys can take it,
we can,
yeah.

4.Damned If You Do
I'm gonna sign my name
to full confession.
It seems the woman I loved last night
belongs to another man.
They like to take you home;
they like to purr and tease you.
but I'm a passionate man,
and I couldn't leave her alone.
'Cause you are damned if you do,
damned if you don't;
damned if you will,
damned if you won't.
Sometimes they look so good,
but don't you let'em deceive ya.
'Cause then you find out that they got
some kind of a venomous mind.
And the thing that's worse
is that it all seems worth it.
I'm still a passionate man,
and she wouldn't leave me alone.
If you think that being a stud is easy,
well, now don't ask me, boys;
I wouldn't know.
I'm a little slow.
And you are damned if you do,
and damned if you don't;
you are damned if you will,
and your damned if you won't.

I'll be damned
5.You And Me
When I get home from work,
I wanna wrap myself around you.
I wanna take you and squeeze you
till the passion starts to rise.
I wanna take you to heaven.
That would make my day complete.
But you and me ain't no movie stars.
What we are is what we are.
We share a bed,
some lovin',
and TV, yeah.
And that's enough for a workin' man.
What I am is what I am.
And I tell you, babe,
well that's enough for me.
Sometimes when you're asleep
and I'm just starin' at the ceiling,
I wanna reach out and touch you,
but you just go on dreamin'.
If I could take you to heaven,
that would make my day complete.
But you and me ain't no movie stars.
What we are is what we are.
We share a bed,
some lovin',
and TV, yeah.
That's enough for a workin' man.

And I tell you, sweetheart
that's just enough for me.
You and me ain't no super stars.
What we are is what we are.
We share a bed,
some popcorn,
and TV, yeah.
And that's enough for a workin' man.
What I am is what I am.
And I tell you, babe,
you're just enough for me.
When I get home from work,
I wanna wrap myself around you.
I like to hold you squeeze you
till the passion starts to rise.
I wanna take you to heaven.

of lovin',
and TV, yeah.
And that's enough for a workin' man.
What I am well that's what I am.
I tell you, baby,
that's just enough for me.
6.King Of The Silver Screen
By day I'm a workin' man,
layin' bricks or layin' pipe.
I don't stand out in a crowd;
just look like one of the guys.
Little do they know,
when I'm alone in bed at night,
I become the King of the Silver Screen.
I stare at the ceiling there;
I know where I belong.
I two step with Fred Astaire or
fighting old King Kong.
I can be any hero at all;
Zorro or Don Juan.
I know I'm the King of the Silver Screen.
Hollywood movies keep flashin' across my mind.
I could've been Valentino if I was born in another time.
I might be solving a case or swinging from a tree.
Share a joke with Crosby and Hope;
we're such good friends, you see.
Even dazzle the Academy with my versatility.
'Cause I'm the King of the Silver Screen.
Hollywood movies keep flashin' across my mind.
I could've been Errol Flynn
if I was born in another time.
I could've been a star.
I could've been a star.
I could've played that part.
But Hollywood movies keep flashin' before my eyes.
I could've been Greta Garbo
if I was born in another time.
I wake the very next day
go on back to work.
I'm just a face in a crowd;
another average jerk.
And all the guys on the building site look at me flirt.
Because I'm the Queen of the Silver.
Recitation:
Yes, I'm the Queen of the Silver Screen.
I admit it to all my fellow workers.
I don't care any more. I'm tired of closets.
I'm gonna eat my makeup for lunch today.
Just stop hittin' me again. All right guys?
I'm going to Hollywood to be a starlet.
I know I'm 240 pounds and play center
for the Detroit Lions.
I don't care any more.
I like makeup and dresses and Hollywood.
I'll make somebody a great little wife.
'Frankly, Scarlet, I don't give a damn.'
