When I get the blues gonna give me a rockin’ chair
When the blues overtake, gonna rock rock away from here

I say little darling, please have my dinner ready
Flip, flop and fly
I don’t care if I die
Flip, flop and fly
I don’t care if I die
Don’t ever leave me
Don’t ever say goodbye
Here comes by baby, flashing a new gold tooth
If she shows more, she can rock home with the bacon too
I’ve got a Mississippi bullfrog sitting on a hollow stone

I’ve got to work for this guy – I don’t know which way to turn
I don’t care if I die
Flip, flop and fly

Don’t ever leave me
Don’t ever say goodbye
Give me one last kiss and hold it a long long time

Don’t ever leave me
Don’t ever say goodbye

Get out from that kitchen,
And rattle those pots and pans,
Well, roll my breakfast,
Cause I’m a hungry man.
I said, shake, rattle, and roll,

To save your doggone soul.
Wearing those dresses,
Your hair done up so nice,
You look so warm,
But your heart is cold as ice.

Heaven
I’m in heaven
And my heart beats
So that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find
The happiness I seek
When we’re out together
Dancing cheek to cheek
Heaven
I’m in heaven
And the cares
That hung around me
Through the week
Seem to vanish
Like a gamblers
Lucky streak
When we’re out together
Dancing cheek to cheek
Oh
I love to climb a mountain
And to reach the highest peak
But it doesn’t thrill me
Half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
Oh
I love to go out fishing
In a river, or a creek
But I don’t enjoy it half
As much as dancing
Cheek to cheek
Dance with me
I want my arm about you
That charm about you
Will carry me through to
Heaven
I’m in heaven
And my heart beats
So that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find
That happiness I seek
When we’re out together
Swinging cheek to cheek
Come on and dance with me
I want my arm about you
That charm about you
Will carry me through
Right up to
Heaven
I’m in heaven
And my heart beats
So that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find
That happiness I seek
When we’re out
Together dancing
Out together dancing
Out together dancing
Cheek to cheek

Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing
She’s there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms I’d go sailing
It’s near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We’ll kiss just like before
Happy we’ll be beyond the sea
And never again I’ll go sailing
My heart will lead me there soon
And we’ll meet, I know we’ll meet beyond the shore
We’ll meet just as before
And never again I’ll go sailing
No more sailing
So long, sailing, sailing, sailing
Goodbye, farewell, my friend, no more sailing
So long, sailing, no more sailing
No more, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen to you
No more sailing
No more
Oh, no more sailing
No more, no more
No more sailing
No more, one more time
No more sailing

Now, listen, all you birds
I’m an eagle
When I say hop, let’s go
It started one night
At a bird bandstand
Crickets was a jumping
With a swinging band
Had a new dance called
The rock and roll
Illuminated all
But three I’m told
Well, the bluebird
The buzzard and the oriole
Well, it was hopping
Trees was rocking
It was a rocking and
A hopping till the
Leaves came tumbling down
Well, the eagle came
Hopping from tree to tree
Said, I’ll emcee this jamboree
All you little sparrows
Better swing and sway
We’re gonna rock this tree
Till the break of day
With the bluebird
The buzzard and the oriole
Well, it was rocking
Trees was hopping
It was a rocking and
A hopping till the
Leaves came tumbling down
Well, the blackbird
Blabbing all the news around
The bugs came hopping
From out of the ground
They all joined in
Said, bless my soul
Who started this rock and roll
Well, the bluebird
The buzzard and the oriole
Well, it was hopping
Trees was rocking
It was a rocking and
A rolling till the
Leaves came tumbling down
Well, it was rocking
Trees was hopping
It was a rocking and
A strolling till the
Leaves came tumbling down

Yes darling, you’re going to need me again
Its just a matter of time
Go on, go on til you reach the end of the line
Cause I know you’ll pass my way again
Its just a matter of time
After I gave you everything I had
Remember in your search for fortune and fame
What goes up must come down
I know, I know that one day you’ll wake up and find
That my love is a true love
Its just a matter of time
Someday and someway
Girl you’ll realize that you’ve been blind
Yes darling, I know you gonna need me again
Its just a matter of time
After I gave you everything I had
You laughed and you called me a clown
But remember in your search for fortune and fame
What goes up must come down
I know, I know that one day you’ll wake up and find
Its just a matter of time

Yes, that’ll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you’re gonna leave, you know it’s a lie

All your hugs and kisses and your money too
Well, you know you love me baby, until you tell me, maybe
That some day, well I’ll be through
Yes, that’ll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you’re gonna leave, you know it’s a lie
‘Cause that’ll be the day when I die
Yes, that’ll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you’re gonna leave, you know it’s a lie
‘Cause that’ll be the day when I die
So if we ever part and I leave you
You sit and hold me and you tell me boldly
That some day, well I’ll be blue
Yes, that’ll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you’re gonna leave, you know it’s a lie
‘Cause that’ll be the day when I die
That’ll be the day, woo ho
That’ll be the day, woo ho
That’ll be the day

All of my life, I’ve been waitin’
Tonight there’ll be no hesitatin’, oh boy! (Oh boy!)
When you’re with me, oh boy! (Oh boy!)
The world can see that you were meant for me
Stars appear and the shadows are fallin’
You can hear my heart a-callin’
A little bit of lovin’ makes everything right
I’m gonna see my baby tonight
All of my love, all of my kissin’
You don’t know what you’ve been missin’, oh boy! (Oh boy!)
When you’re with me, oh boy! (Oh boy!)
The world can see that you were meant for me

| Everyday | Buddy Holly | Buddy Holly | 1958 |
Goin’ faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey hey
Everyday, it’s a-gettin’ faster
Everyone said, « Go ahead and ask her »
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey hey
Everyday seems a little longer
Every way, love’s a little stronger
Come what may, do you ever long for
True love from me?
Everyday, it’s a-gettin’ closer
Goin’ faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey hey
Everyday seems a little longer
Every way, love’s a little stronger
Come what may, do you ever long for
True love from me?
Everyday, it’s a-gettin’ closer
Goin’ faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey hey
Love like yours will surely come my way

La chanson a été écrite et enregistrée par Buddy Knox.
To come along with me when I’m feelin’ wild
To be everlovin’ and true and fair
To run her fingers through my hair
Come along and be my party doll
Come along and be my party doll
I’ll make love to you, to you
I’ll make love to you
The kind of a gal I would love to meet
She had blonde hair and eyes of blue
Baby, I’m a-gonna have a party with you
Come along and be my party doll
Come along and be my party doll
I’ll make love to you, to you
I’ll make love to you
To be with him when he’s feelin’ wild
To be everlovin’, true, and fair
To run her fingers through his hair
To run her fingers through his hair
Come along and be my party doll
Come along and be my party doll
I’ll make love to you, to you
I’ll make love to you
Come along and be my party doll
Come along and be my party doll
I’ll make love to you, to you
I’ll make love to you
Ooh

Well, I’m married to a devil woman
I’m married to a devil gal
Do me wrong devil woman
Do me wrong devil gal
Well, one more time believe me, baby
One more time and you go away
Do me wrong
One more time and you go away
Well I love her sweet and I love her simple
Our love is off every day
Love is soft and lovin’ her tender
Then she does be this way
Every day I day a little, every night I wild away
Do me wrong devil woman
One more time and you go away

Well the more and more I love you baby
More and more you this way
Do me wrong
One more time and you go away
Well, one more time believe me, baby

Well I love her sweet and I love her simple
Our love is off every day
Love is soft and lovin’ her tender
Then she does be this way
Every day I day a little, every night I wild away
Do me wrong devil woman
One more time and you go away
[music]
Well the more and more I love you baby
More and more you this way
Do me wrong devil woman
One more time and you go away
