1.Chug-a-lug

Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug
Makes you wanna holler 'hi-dee-ho!'
Burns your tummy, don't ya know
Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug

Grape wine in a mason jar
Homemade and brought to school
By a friend of mine and after class
Me and him and this other fool
Decided that we'll drink up what's left
Chug-a-lug, so helped ourselves
First time for everything
Umm, my ears still ring

Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug
Make you wanna holler 'hi-de-ho!'
Burns your tummy, don't ya know
Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug

4 h and ffa
On a field trip to the farm
Me and a friend sneak off behind
This big old barn
Where we uncovered up a covered up
Moonshine still
And we thought we'd drink our fill
And i swallered it with a smile
Brrrrrrr....i run ten miles

Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug
Make you wanna holler 'hi-de-ho!'
Burns your tummy, don't ya know
Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug

Jukebox and sawdust floor
Something like i ain't never seen
Heck, i'm just goin' on fifteen
But with the help of my faneglin' uncle
I get shuck in (i get snuck in)
For my first taste of sin
I said, 'let me have a big ol' sip...'
Brrrrr....i done a double back flip

Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug
Make you wanna holler 'hi-dee-ho!'
Burns your tummy, don't ya know
Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug


2.Private John Q

Well i read it in the papers and i see it on the television
Everybody's worried about world war three
Here i am a single boy, unemployed and everything
Somebody better stop and worry about me

Well can't you just see me now chin up and chest out
A hup-2-3-4 all day through
Everybody seems to be worried about something or other
Who's gonna worry about private john q

Sometimes i get disheartened i try not to even think about it
Heaven knows it's hard to keep from lettin' it get me down
But i'll stand proud when everybody else'll be
A-runnin' helter skelter for the shelter underground

Well can't you just see me now chin up and chest out
A hup-2-3-4 all day through
Everybody seems to be worried about something or other
Who's gonna worry about private john q

When i was a little boy i used to sit and dream of travellin'
To lots of foreign countries on sight-seeing tours
The way it's looking now i can stop saving money
Maybe go free, sponsored by the third world war

Well can't you just see me now chin up and chest out
A hup-2-3-4 all day through
Everybody seems to be worried about something or other
Who's gonna worry about private john q

Well can't you just see me now chin up and chest out
A hup-2-3-4 all day through
Everybody seems to be worried about something or other
Who's gonna worry about private john q
Hup-2-3-4-5-6-


3.Squares Make The World Go Round

Take a little bitty town
Elect a mayor of that little bitty town
A square little man to make it go round
Squares make the world go round

Pick out a state
Elect a governor of the state
A square little man to make it go round
Squares make the world go round

Hey! squares make the world go round
Sounds profane, sounds profound
But government things can't be made through
Hipsters wearing rope soled shoes

Take the whole world
What does it take to make the whole world whirl
What does it take to make the whole world whirl
Squares make the world go round

Hey! squares make the world go round
Sounds profane, sounds profound
But government things can't be made through
Hipsters wearing rope soled shoes

Take the whole world
What does it take to make the whole world whirl
What does it take to make the whole world whirl
Squares make the world go round
What does it take to make the whole world whirl
Squares make the world go round


4.It Takes All Kinds To Make A World

Well it takes all kinds to make a world
Big and little, men and women, boys and girls
And l'm the kinda guy hard luck sure gives a whirl
But l guess it takes all kinds to make a world

My friend and me went to a picture show in town
They called his name and said his house had just burnt down
I took his hand and offered him my sympathy
Then suddenly l remembered that he lived with me

Well it takes all kinds to make a world
Big and little, men and women, boys and girls
And l'm the kinda guy hard luck sure gives a whirl
But l guess it takes all kinds to make a world

Well l wrecked the heck out of my pretty car today
It was a total loss and l had to walk home all the way
Then a 'phone call said you're holding ticket seventeen
You lucky boy, you've won a tank of gasoline

Well it takes all kinds to make a world
Big and little, men and women, boys and girls
And l'm the kinda guy hard luck sure gives a whirl
But l guess it takes all kinds to make a world

Last night l had the pleasure of her company
She said she'd like to see a whole lot more of me
And l spent money like l had my pockets full
Now ask me how it feels to try to see through wool

Chorus to fade


5.I Ain't Coming Home Tonight

Well i ain't comin' home tonight
I ain't comin' home tonight
I ain't comin' home tonight
My soul is restless and the moon is bright

Goodbye woman that i don't love
Goodbye woman that i don't love
Goodbye woman that i don't love
I found a new one that i can't love enough

So i ain't comin' home tonight
I ain't comin' home tonight
I ain't comin' home tonight
My soul is restless and the moon is bright

Water in the well at home is bad
The water in the well at home is bad
The water in the well at home is bad
And she gives me water like i ain't never had

So i ain't comin' home tonight
I ain't comin' home tonight
I ain't comin' home tonight
My soul is restless and the moon is bright

I ain't comin' home tonight
I ain't comin' home tonight
I ain't comin' home tonight
My soul is restless and the moon is bright

Now i found me new food to drink
I found me new food to drink
I found me new food to drink
And i found myself a new home i think

So i ain't comin' home tonight
I ain't comin' home tonight
I ain't comin' home tonight
My soul is restless and the moon is bright
I ain't comin' home tonight
Well i ain't comin' home tonight
My soul is restless and the moon is bright


6.The Moon Is High

Well the moon is high and so am l,
The stars are out and so will l be, pretty soon,
And l can tell you're mad at me
'cos there you stand, telling me goodbye,
And l say no, you can't go
L love you so much l can't let you get away
But come the dawn and it will dawn on me you're gone

Love, don't leave me,
Don't leave me laying here
This ground is cold and chilly
Really
Don't leave your charming billy
Way out here
You hear？

Well the moon is high and so am l
The stars are out and so will l be pretty soon
But come the dawn and it will dawn on me you're gone


7.Feel Of Me

Look at you, you're cryin'
Lonesome plain to see
But don't feel bad if you think you feel lonesome
Feel of me

I got lots of heartaches
And all that misery
So don't feel bad if you think you feel misery
Feel of me

Touch and feel the tremble in my hand
Look at my eyes, look how they cry
Then i think you'll understand

Look at you, you're cryin'
Lonesome plain to see
But don't feel bad if you think you feel lonesome
Feel of me

Yeah look at you, you're a-cryin'
Lonesome plain to see
But don't feel so bad if you think you feel lonesome
Feel of me

I got lots of heartaches hmm
And all that misery
So don't feel bad if you think you feel misery
Feel of me

Touch and feel the tremble in my hand
Look at my eyes, look how they cry
Then i think you'll understand

Look at you, you're cryin'
Lonesome plain to see
But don't feel so bad if you think you feel lonesome
Feel of me

Yeah don't feel bad if you think you feel lonesome
Feel of me


8.Lou's Got The Flu

Some people bad and some people good,
Too bad the bad can't be like the good,
But everything changes a little and it should,
Good ain't forever and bad ain't for good

And lou's got the flu and he's laid up, laid up, laid up,
Lou's got the flu and he's laid up,
Have to get well pretty soon though

L got sugar in my candy and sugar in my soup
L'm getting fat from the candy and sick from the soup
True love is sweet but if it's mishandled
A bitter wind blows and out goes your candle

And lou's got the flu and he's laid up, laid up, laid up,
Lou's got the flu and he's laid up,
Have to get well pretty soon though

Now not enough water puts thirst in a man
And just enough water puts joy in his land
But too much water will overflow
And tear the man's land up, so there you go

And lou's got the flu and he's laid up, laid up, laid up,
Lou's got the flu and he's laid up,
Have to get well pretty soon though


9.Got 2 Again

(spoken) now in this song we employ the use of numbers
Now what i'll do is have a volunteer give me a number
And i'll take that number and make a verse for a song out it
Now if someone will give me a number between 20 and 22
I'll show you what i mean,

21

That's very good, first time, 21
Well, 21 take away 9
12 little children standing in a line
From that take 2 that leaves you 10
Take away 8 and you got 2 again

Yeah you got 2 again, you got 2 again
You used to love me once and now you got 2 again
You got 2 again, you got 2 again
You used to love me once and now you got 2 again

(spoken) now see how easy that was
For the second verse, i need someone to give me a number
Between 12 and 14 on this verse

13

13, ahhh..13
Well 13 multiplied by 1
You still got 13 but wasn't that fun
Now take that same 13 multiply by 2
26 hours the trains overdue

Yeah you got 2 again, you got 2 again
You used to love me once and now you got 2 again
You got 2 again, you got 2 again
You used to love me once and now you got 2 again

10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2 happy people divided by 1
Leave nothing, nothing, none

You got 2 again, you got 2 again
You used to love me once and now you got 2 again
You got 2 again, you got 2 again
You used to love me once and now you got 2 again
You used to love me once and now you got 2 again
You used to love me once and now you got 2 again


10.Dang Me

Boo-woo boop boop boop boop boo -ba-oo-ba boo boo bow
Ba-boo-ba bam...
Ba-bye-oo ba ba ba ba - by-oo boo boo bow

Well here i sit-a high, gettin' ideas
Ain't nothing but a fool would live like this
Out all night and runnin' wild
Woman sittin' home with a month old child

Dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me

Just settin' around drinkin' with the rest of the guys
Six rounds we bought, and i bought five
Spent the groceries and half the rent
I lack fourteen dollars havin' twenty seven cents

Dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me

They say roses are red and violets are purple
Sugar's sweet and so's maple surple
And i'm the seventh out of seven sons
My pappy was a pistol
I'm a son of a gun.

Dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me


11.That's Why I Love You Like I Do

(spoken)this is the story about a boy that loved a girl
He loved her very much, in fact he loved her so much that he
Couldn't seem to find the exact words to tell her exactly how
much he did love her
Oh he tried several times, but it seems like every time he tried
the words always came out backwards
They came out something like this

Bright moon tray fiddlee run by through
Around and up to,
That's why i love you so much
That's why i love you like i do

Bluebird wingin' parly fo some say
Charl lee lum say so
That's why i love you so much
That's why i love you like i do

In other words there are no words to say how much i care
And every time i start to tell you
Words come to my throat but they stick there

Bright moon tray fiddlee run by through
Around and up to,
That's why i love you so much
That's why i love you like i do

In other words there are no words to say how much i care
And every time i start to tell you
Words come to my throat but they stick there

Bright moon tray fiddlee run by through
Around and up to,
That's why i love you so much
That's why i love you like i do


12.If You Want Me To

Thunder rollin' lightnin' flashin'
But right through the middle of it i go dashin'
Goes to show how far i'll go for you
If you want me to

Well, hurricane winds blow grief and sorrow
But i'd run through one tomorrow
Goes to show how far i'll go for you
If you want me to

Well, there's no limit to
What i'll not go through for you
Anything you ask of me
I'll make it my destiny

Well thunder rollin' lightnin' flashin'
But right through the middle of it i go dashin'
Goes to show how far i'll go for you
If you want me to

Thunder rollin' lightnin' flashin'
But right through the middle of it i go dashin'
Goes to show how far i'll go for you
If you want me to

Well, hurricane winds blow grief and sorrow
But i'd run through one tomorrow
Goes to show how far i'll go for you
If you want me to

Well, there's no limit to
What i'll not go through for you
Anything you ask of me
I'll make it my destiny

Well thunder rollin' lightnin' flashin'
But right through the middle of it i go dashin'
Goes to show how far i'll go for you
If you want me to

Goes to show how far i'll go for you
If you want me to
