1. RUNAWAY BOYS

Get kicked out for coming home at dawn,
Mom and Dad cursed the day you were born,
Throw your clothes into a duffle bag
Shoutin' as ya slam the door home is a drag

Who can I turn to and where can I stay ?
I heard a place is open all night and all day
There's a place you can go where the cops don't know
You can act real wild they don't treat you like a child

Runaway boys

Your hair's all greasy and you feel like a slob,
You're only fifteen and you can't get a job,
Go into the luncheonette and shoot a few games
Losing all your quarters, man it's always the same

Steal a couple of bucks to buy a new toy,
Slip into the alley with the

Runaway boys

Runnin' faster, faster all the time
You're under age and God knows, that's a crime !

Runaway boys


2. FISHNET STOCKINGS

Well my sweet baby wears fishnet stockings
When she starts a rockin' there ain't no stoppin'
Singing wop bop a doo dop fishnet stockings
Shoo wop a doo dop when she's rockin'
Bop bop a doo dop there ain't no stoppin'
Rockin' with my baby in her fishnet stockings

Well she's got a pair in pink
She's got a pair in red
When she puts the black ones she makes me loose my head
Singing wop bop a doo dop fishnet stockings
Shoo wop a doo dop when she's rockin'
Bop bop a doo dop there ain't no stoppin'
Rockin' with my baby in her fishnet stockings

One time

Well she's got a pair in pink
She's got a pair in red
When she puts the black ones she makes me loose my head
Singing wop bop a doo dop fishnet stockings
Shoo wop a doo dop when she's rockin'
Bop bop a doo dop there ain't no stoppin'
Rockin' with my baby in her fishnet stockings

Rock it again now

Well my sweet baby wears fishnet stockings
When she starts a rockin' there ain't no stoppin'
Singing wab bop a doo dop fishnet stockings
Shoo wop a doo dop when she's rockin'
Bop bop a doo dop there ain't no stoppin'
Rockin' with my baby in her fishnet stockings


3. UBANGI STOMP

Well I rocked over Italy and I rocked over Spain
Rocked in Memphis, it was all the same.
'Till I rocked to Africa and rolled off the ship,
Seen them natives do an odd looking skip.
Parted the weeds and looked over the swamp,
And I seen them cats doing the Ubangi Stomp.

Ubangi stomp, reggae roll, beats any stomp that you ever been told.
Ubangi stomp, Ubangi style, when it hits it drives them Ubangi's wild.

Well I looked up the chief he invited me in,
He said, Hey big jam session's about to begin
He handed me a tom tom, I picked up the beat,
That crazy thing send shivers to my feet.
I rocked and I rolled, skipped with a smile,
Gonna Ubangi stomp man, Ubangi style.

Ubangi stomp, reggae roll, beats any stomp that you ever been told.
Ubangi stomp, Ubangi style, when it hits it drives them Ubangi's wild.

Well I rocked all night and part of the day,
Had a good rockin' time with the chief's daugher May.
We were making good time and gettin' to know,
When the Captain said, "Sorry we gotta go."
Well, well that's all right man now, go right ahead,
Gonna Ubangi stomp 'till I roll over dead.

Ubangi stomp, reggae roll, beats any stomp that you ever been told.
Ubangi stomp, Ubangi style, when it hits it drives them Ubangi's wild.

5. STORM THE EMBASSY

Fifteen man taken captive in a hostile foreign land
Scorchin' sun beaming down onto miles and miles of sand
A mideast country being ruled
By a man who thinks it's fun
To hold our people in return
For a sjah that's on the run

I think it's funny
Freedom takes money

It's a heartache and it's hard luck
Well that's tough shit
Man it's no fun
Storm the Iranian embassy
Before they start shootin' down you and me

Scourge of suits in control
Of the diplomaticness
While the nations of the world
Look on and they care less
The Soviet Union won't agree
To an economic plan
And then they laugh and march their troops into Afghanistan

Orders from Moscow
Invade Teheran now

It's a heartache and it's hard luck
Well that's tough shit
Man it's no fun
Storm the Iranian embassy
Before they start shootin' at you and me

A nation worries and reads the papers
Hoping that no-one has died
Hearin' rumours that the hostages
Will soon be tried as spies
Demonstrations on the street
Saying that the end is near
The man from New York Times on vacation
Wants to know what happened here

Agressive acts now
We want the best now
Fifteen moms crying
Is my son dying ?

It's a heartache and it's hard luck
Well that's tough shit
Man it's no fun
Storm the Iranian embassy
Before they start shootin' at you and me


6. ROCK THIS TOWN

Well my baby and me went out late Saturday night
I had my hair piled high and my baby just looks so right
Well, pick you up at ten got to have you home by two,
Mama don't know what I've got in store for you
Well that's alright 'cause we're looking as cool as can be

Well we found a little place that really didn't look half bad
I'll have a whiskey on the rocks and change of a dollar for the jukebox
Well, I put a quarter right into that can, but all it played was disco man
C'mon pretty baby, let's get outta here right away.

We're gonna rock this town, rock it inside out
We're gonna rock this town, make 'm scream and shout
Let's rock, rock, rock man rock, rock
We're gonna rock till we pop, We're gonna roll till we drop
We're gonna rock this town, rock it inside out

Well we're having a ball just bopping on the big dance floor
Well there's a real square cat he looks nineteen seventy four
Well, you look at me once, you look at me twice,
You look at me again there's gonna be a fight
We're gonna rock this town, we're gonna rip this place apart


7. RUMBLE IN BRIGHTON

Well there's the rockabilly cats with their pomps real high
Wearing black drape coats, all real gone guys
The cool skinheads with roll up jeans
Looking real tough and mighty mean

There's a rumble in Brighton tonight
Ringside seats for the neighborhood fight,
There ain't a Godddamn thing that the cops can do,
There's a rumble in Brighton tonight.

They sew fish hooks under their colars,
Got razors in their shoes
"Go cat go" is their battle cry
World War Three is starting to brew

Well, the skinheads all use black jacks
And they're looking mighty mean
They got chains wrapped around their fingers
And their heads are all shaven clean

There's a rumble in Brighton tonight
Ringside seats for the neighborhood fight,
There ain't a Goddamn thing that the cops can do,
There's a rumble in Brighton tonight.

Well there ain't a man left standing,
So let's all go grab a beer
No team is a winner
So we'll see you all next year

There's a rumble in Brighton tonight
Ringside seats for the neighborhood fight,
There ain't a Goddamn thing that the cops can do,
There's a rumble in Brighton tonight.

Rumble in Brighton tonight
Rumble on the beach tonight,
Rumble in Brighton tonight
Rumble on the beach tonight,
Well man there ain't a Goddamn thing that the cops can do,
So line back up for a side line view
Ringside seats for the neighborhood fight
There's a rumble in Brighton tonight.


8. STRAY CAT STRUT

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,
A feline Casanova, hey man, that's where it's at
Get a shoe thrown at me from a mean old man
Get my dinner from a garbage can

Yeah don't cross my path

I don't bother chasing mice around
I slink down the alley way looking for a fight
Howling to the moonlight on a hot summer night
Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry,
"Wild 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.

I don't bother chasing mice around
I slink down the alley way looking for a fight
Howling to the moonlight on a hot summer night
Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry,
"Wild 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.


9. CRAWL UP AND DIE

Well, I don't know what's the matter
Oh, what's the matter with me
Well, I don't know what's the matter
Oh, what's the matter with me
Well, I can't control my legs now
And I can't hardly see

Well, I'm smoking past the filter
And it's burning my lips
Well, I'm smoking past the filter
And it's burning my lips
My body is a shakin'
Down to my finger tips

Oh, please let me stay here
Well, let me stay here tonight
C'mon baby let me stay here
Let me stay here tonight
I want to crawl baby crawl up
I want to crawl up and die
Ohh!

Well, I'm searchin' for the poison
That's gotta keep me alive
Well, I'm searchin' for the poison
That's gotta keep me alive
And if I don't find that poison
I'm gonna crawl up and die

Well, I can't control this feeling
That I'm having inside
Well, I can't control this feeling
That I'm having inside
I want to crawl baby crawl up
I want to crawl up and die

Oh, please let me stay here
Well, let me stay here tonight
C'mon baby let me stay here
Let me stay here tonight
I want to crawl baby crawl up
I want to crawl up and die

Oh, please let me stay here
Well, let me stay here tonight
C'mon baby let me stay here
Let me stay here tonight
I want to crawl baby crawl up
I want to crawl up and die and die and die
