1.Evening At Lafittes
We meet at lafittes each night as twilight sleeps
A kind of reverie
A kind of sleepy feeling is creeping over me
Thats the place for dancing and romancing
Thats the place where you and me could go if we were lovers
stealing
An evening at lafittes
When we meet at lafittes each night as twilight creeps
A kind of reverie
A kind of sleepy feeling is creeping over me
Thats the place for dancing and romancing
Thats the place where you and me could go if we were lovers
stealing
An evening at lafittes
2.Fat Cat Keeps Getting Fatter
Ev'ry dog will have its day
Thats what people used to say
Nowadays thats not the case
Cuz theres a fat cat runs the place
(chorus)：while the cats away the rats will surely go down
Listen up cuz im tellin you the low down
What does it matter if hes getting fatter
What does it matter if fat cat keeps getting fatter(end chorus)
Fat cat keeps getting fatter
He comes in most ev'ry night
Wakes me up before daylight
All around that house of mine
Its pit pat pit pat pit pat all the time
(chorus)
3.Ghost Of Stephen Foster
Met the ghost of stephen foster at the hotel paradise
This is what i told him as i gazed into his eyes：
Rooms were made for carpets,
Towers made for spires,
Ships were made for cannonade fire off from inside them
(chorus)： gwine to run all night
Gwine to run all day
Camptown ladies never sang all the doo dah day no, no, no (end
chorus)
(chorus)
Met the ghost of stephen foster at the hotel paradise
This is what i told him as i gazed into his eyes：
Ships were made for sinking,
Whiskey made for drinking,
If we were made of cellophane, we'd all get stinking drunk quite
faster ha, ha, ha
(chorus)
(chorus)
4.Its Over
Its all over there isnt any more
Its all over but whats it over for
Just when you think the partys starting
Its over
5.Low Down Man
That low down man of mine
Mistreats me all the time
He sez he loves me only
Then turns around and leaves me sad and lonely
If he could see through my eyes
And be the one who cries
He would see
He would never be
That low down man of mine
That low down man with his low down ways
I know he'll go some day
It wont be long
But from now on
If he could see through my eyes
And be the one who cries
He would see
He would never be
That low down man of mine
If he could see through my eyes
And be the one who cries
He would see
He'd come back to me
That low down man
6.My Drag
My drag
Its a weight on my back
Im lost in a stack without my drag
My blues
Alone and confused
Im spreading the news about my drag
I could go right along singing songs of love
That happiness brings
If i stop for a while i could smile and be glad
But that crazy feeling back bad
My drag
Its a hound on my track
I just fell through the cracks into my drag
7.Pallin' With Al
All the birds up in the trees have got a different song to sing
And as birds learned now they've learned that swing
They've been pallin' with al (me too)
Down below at the candy shop, theyre still workin at that same
old chore
But the stuff heres sweeter than it was before
You know why people,
Pallin with al who's that man who's got that sentemental swing
Plays that mess just like it doesn't mean a thing
Gather round you all and watch him
Watch him pluck those strings
People, when he gets that right hand pumpin'
All those kiddies got to start buck jumpin'
Listen now and dont forget
If you go for that solid jive
You can always keep the dream alive
Be bop a doo bop a bee ba doo way
8.Soon
I was walking down the street
A stranger said to me
Be careful what you do
Then when waiting for a train
I heard a strange refrain
Id watch out if i were you, boy
Is something going to happen soon
Somethings going to happen soon
I have a phone that dosent ring
A line that dosent sting
I have a dream where snowflakes fall inside a painted hall
But that dont pay the rent
If you draw a bow draw the strongest
Yes, and if you use an arrow use the longest
Altough i dont spook easily
It has occured to me
Transformation is in the air
Are the heavens conspiring to show me this new thing
Or has it always been there
9.That Fascinating Thing
When you do that little thing
That fascinating thing
I get so fascinated with you baby
My knees get weak
Every time you speak my name
The way you treat me mama means everything
Come on and do that thing
That fascinating thing!
10.The Kraken
Tonight i will dream
Far below the fading light
My dream is for you
My arms were made to hold you tight
Now the time has come
The time has come
11.The Suits Are Picking Up The Bill
In a line at the cafe
I overheard the waitress say
'these cats is broke, i knows 'em
'throw 'em out the doors and close 'em
Spirits sagging, funds are low
This occupation has got to go
Up pulls a limo, up goes a thrill
The suits are picking up the bill!
Its allright for them to tag along
Its just one bill they're tacking on
Buisness suits to the rescue
So nice doing buisness with you
You will really ape and clown when you realize the dough they're
shelling out
For this deal!
The suits are picking up the bill
I cannot see from where im standing
My friends have passed out on a landing
Guess one too many has left us high and dry
I'll be feeling down til the suits get back in town
12.Trou Macacq
this is the story of the trou macacq, the pine box derby, the
monkey track
This is the story of the trou macacq, the pine box derby, the
monkey track
Not what i heard or saw on tv,
But what i witnessed entirely
Each bend in the road was infact another curve on the monkey
track
Once upon a time we thought we were free
And had control over destiny
We saw ourselves a competent band
Able to reason, prosper and plan
But we had a chamber up in the moon
Circumstance made us change our tune
When the veil was torn from our face
We became the monkeys riding the race
Monkey!
You think you got the stuff it takes to break away!
Boy youll be on the track every day
Talent, vigor,drive
Youll eat peanut butter the rest of your life
And these last things you can arrange
Find other people equally strange
Stuff yourselves in the van and ride the pine box derby to the
finish line
I said： chris p. rides on a serious plan
Hes going to finish as fast as he can
The escalator takes it personally
And does not drive professionally
Charming enchantress and bones can run
Even if the winshield wipers are on
I the broadcaster avoid police
But the bat was led into custody
