They're really rockin' in Boston
In Pittsburgh, Pa.
Deep in the heart of Texas
And round the 'Frisco Bay
All over St.Louis
And down in New Orleans
All the cats wanna dance with
Sweet Little Sixteen

Sweet Little Sixteen
She's just got to have
About half a million
Famed autographs
Her wallet filled with pictures
She gets them one by one
Becomes so excited
Watch her, look at her run.

"Oh Mommy, Mommy
Please may I go
It's such a sight to see
Somebody steal the show"
"Oh Daddy, Daddy
I beg of you
Whisper to Mommy
It's alright with you"

'Cause they'll be rockin' on Bandstand
In Philadelphia, Pa.
Deep in the heart of Texas
And round the 'Frisco Bay
All over St.Louis
Way down in New Orleans
All the cats wanna dance with
Sweet Little Sixteen

'Cause they'll be rockin' on Bandstand
In Philadelphia, Pa.
Deep in the heart of Texas
And round the 'Frisco Bay
All over St.Louis
Way down in New Orleans
All the cats wanna dance with
Sweet Little Sixteen

Sweet Little Sixteen
She's got the grown - up blues
Tight dresses and lipstick
She's sportin' high - heel shoes
Oh but tomorrow morning
She'll have to change her trend
And be sweet sixteen
And back in class again

Well the'll be rockin' in Boston
Pittsburgh, Pa.
Deep in the heart of Texas
And round the 'Frisco Bay
Way out in St.Louis
Way down in New Orleans
All the cats wanna dance with
Sweet Little Sixteen

I've been feedin' that ol' jukebox just to hold you tight
I guess its for the best I just put in my last dime
I heard you whisper "We'll meet again, another place, another time"
Chairs are stacked all over tables its closing time they say
I could wait right here forever if they'd only let me stay
Anywhere would be much better than lonley room of mine
Throug a lonely night a waitin' for
Another place, Another time
Won't that room of mine be a lonely place to be
I've been so used to holding you close to me
Won't that old stairway be hard to climb
To a lonley room waiting for another place, another time
Won't that old stairway be hard to climb
To a lonely room to wait for
Another Place, Another Time

But then you never cared the way I do
Your love was all that kept me goin
Now that its gone
Where can I turn but to the only friends I ever knew
Going to back to
Bottles and Barstools these are the favorite tools
Of any lonely fool who needs to forget
They tell me friends in need are truly friends in deed
And Bottles and Barstools have never failed me yet

Well our love can be summed up in 25 words or less
Just another flame that never made a fire
And shoulders to cry on are an easy thing to find
Just look for any set of lights that spell out B-A-R
Well I am going to back to
Bottles and Barstools these are the favorite tools
For any lonely fool who needs to forget
Well they tell me friends in need are truly friends in
deed
And Bottles and Barstools have never failed me yet
Yes Bottles and Barstools ain't failed ol' Jerry Lee yet
Ah set me up one more....

Ah! It's just another wasted mornin'
While I'm holdin' up the wall
Too much tequila makes me wonder
Why I'm headin' home at all
Get that honky tonk feelin'
Every time your arms grow cold
I suppose that's the reason
I need a home away from home
So I'll say one more time
And I hope you'll understand
If I can't find it in your arms, babe
I'm gonna find it where I can
I can't refuse them lonely women
Lord, I know just how they feel
I suppose that's the reason
What you been givin' me makes me feel
Honey, I'm gettin' that honky tonk feelin'
Every time your arms grow cold
And I suppose that's the reason
I need a home away from home
So I'll say it one more time, one more time
And I hope you'll understand
If I can't find it in your arms, babe
I'm gonna find it where I can
If I can't find it in your arms, babe
I'm gonna find it where I can

He got a heck of a deal
On a new Porsche car
He ain't wearing his usual grey business suit
He's got jeans and high boots
With an embroidered star
An today he's forty years old going on twenty
Don't look for the grey in his hair
'Cause he ain't got any
He's got a young thing beside him
That just melts in his hand
He's middle aged crazy
Trying to prove he still can
He's gotta a woman he's loved for a long long time at home
Ah but the thrill is all gone
When they cut down the lights
They've got a business that they spent a while comming by
been a long uphill climb
But now the profits are high
But today he's forty years old going on twenty
And he hears of sordid affairs and he aint had any
And the young thing beside him
You know she understands
That he's middle aged crazy
Trying to prove he still can
guitar solo

Sunshine standing quietly at my door
Just like the dawn my heart is silently breaking
With my tears it goes tumbling to the floor
Once again ........the whole town will be talking........yes they will
And Lord I 've seen the pity that's in their eyes
They could never understand Its her sorrow its not a man
No matter what they say we know she tried
Babys packed her soft things and she's left me...... she's left
me ........she's left me
And I know she didn't mean to make me cry
It's not her heart Lord its her mind
She didn't mean to be unkind Why she even woke me up to say goodbye
It's not her heart Lord its her mind
She didn't mean to be unkind why
She even woke me up to say goodbye
Goodbye Baby

And on my lips I can taste your goodnight kiss
In my room the fragrance of your perfume lingers
And I know there must be more to love than this
I look across my lonely room and see your picture
Your loving smiling face I know I miss..yes I would darlin'
And I remebered to another "Your still married"
And I know there must be more to love than thist

The ringing phone sounds like the doorbell to heaven woh lord
Your voice sounds like an angel full of bliss
But I'll go through hell tonight if I don't see you
And I know
There must be more to love than stolen moments
This love it should have brought me happiness
Ever since we started lovin' I've started hurtin' hurtin'
hurtin' And I know there must be more to love than this
Yes I know there must be more to love than this

Today pain became a real life hurting thing
And the choir of loneliness sang me a song
Now I know just what it means to lose a lifetime dream
Cause today I can feel it touching home

No longer do I wonder why men have lost their minds
Or wind up in a jungle of flashing neon signs
Now I know just how long
A man can last when love is gone
Because today I can feel it touching home

No longer do I wonder why men have lost their minds
Or wind up in a jungle of flashing neon signs
Now I know just how long
A man can last when love is gone
Cause today I can feel it touching home
Cause today I can feel it touching home

But every time I start to leave they play another song
Then someone buys another round and wherever drinks are free
What's made Milwaukee famous has made a fool out of me

I know I am not a model husband though I'd like to be

Payday nights and painted women they do strange things to me

But when the partys over and the good is all she see

Though I let her down she still comes around

To love what's left of me

Six days out of seven I work hard at doing right

But believe me you could set your watch and find me on Friday night

I'm luck that she understands the fool that lives in me

Though I let her down she still comes around

To love what's left of me

The way that I'm living now its a wonder she can take it

That woman got a heart of gold and its killing me to break it

I know I don't deserve her but I'm thankful as could be

Though I let her down she still comes around

To love what's left of me

Though I let her down she still comes around

To love what's left of me

Its late and she's waiting and I know I should go home

But every time I start to leave they play another song

Then someone buys another round and wherever drinks are free

What's made Milwaukee famous has made a fool out of me

Babys begged me not to go so many times before

She says love and happiness can't live behind those swinging doors

Nows she's gone and I'm to blame to late I finally see

What's made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me

Babys begged me not to go so many times before

She says love and happiness just can't live behind those swinging doors

Nows she's gone and I'm to blame to late I finally see

What's made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me

What's made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me

When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For a good thing he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down

When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comforts
And sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It ought to be

When a man loves a woman
I give you everything I've got (yeah)
Trying to hold on
To your precious love
Baby please don't treat me bad

When a man loves a woman
Deep down in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she is playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see

Yes when a man loves a woman
I now exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, baby
I am a man
When a man loves a woman

Well, everybody boppin'
Everybody's hoppin'
Boppin' at the high school hop

Watch out!

Well I've took enough pills for big Memphis town
Ol' Jerry Lee's dranked enough whiskey to lift any ship off the ground
I'll be the first to admit
Sure do wish these people would quit it
You know its tough enough
To straightin' up when these idiots won't leave you alone.
Jerry Lee Lewis's life would make a damn good country song
I've always done my best
I've tried to walk tall
Walk on Killer
But when the evening was over I was drunk stumbling into walls
Well I know I've earned my reputation
Can't they see I've found my salvation?

I guess they'd rather prove me wrong
My life would make a damn good country song
Lets get it now!
I've had my share of women
But they always seem to leave
Gonna put me another quarter
In the ol' pinball machine
Well I know the ol' Killers been wrong
That ol' change came over me took too long
My life would make a damn good country song
Jerry Lee Lewis's life would make a damn good country song!

One by one they're turning out the lights
I've been feedin' that ol' jukebox just to hold you tight
I guess its for the best I just put in my last dime
I heard you whisper "We'll meet again, another place, another time"
Chairs are stacked all over tables its closing time they say
I could wait right here forever if they'd only let me stay
Anywhere would be much better than lonley room of mine
Throug a lonely night a waitin' for
Another place, Another time

Won't that room of mine be a lonely place to be
I've been so used to holding you close to me
Won't that old stairway be hard to climb
To a lonley room waiting for another place, another time
Won't that old stairway be hard to climb
To a lonely room to wait for
Another Place, Another Time

(One two one two three four)
Well busted flat in Baton Rouge a headin' for the trains
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Ol' Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
Lord took us all the way to New Orleans
Pulled my ol' har'poon out of my dirty red bandana
Blowed it low while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield whipers slappin' time
And Bobby clappin' hands with mine
We finally sang up ever song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Lord that was good enough for me yeah good enough for me and Bobby McGee

From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
She was standin' right beside me Lord through everything I done
And every night she kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away
Looking for the home I hope she'll find
And I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holding her body close to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Lord that was good enough for me yeah good enough for me and Bobby McGee

Yeah (la la la la...)

Today he traded his big 98 Oldsmobile
He got a heck of a deal
On a new Porsche car
He ain't wearing his usual grey business suit
He's got jeans and high boots
With an embroidered star
An today he's forty years old going on twenty
Don't look for the grey in his hair
'Cause he ain't got any
He's got a young thing beside him
That just melts in his hand
He's middle aged crazy
Trying to prove he still can
He's gotta a woman he's loved for a long long time at home

Ah but the thrill is all gone
When they cut down the lights
They've got a business that they spent a while comming by
Been a long uphill climb
But now the profits are high
But today he's forty years old going on twenty
And he hears of sordid affairs and he aint had any
And the young thing beside him
You know she understands
That he's middle aged crazy
Trying to prove he still can

I know I'm not a perfect husband although I'd like to be
But payday nights and those painted women they do strange things to me
But then when the party's over and the good is all she sees
Though I let her down she still comes around just to love what's left of me

Six days out of seven I work hard at doing right
But believe me you could set your watch on any Friday night
But then I'm lucky she understands and the fool that lives in me
Though I let her down she still comes around to love what's left of me

The way I'm living it's a wonder she can take it
But that woman she's got a heart of gold it's justing me to break it
I know I don't deserve her but I'm thankful as can be
And though I let her down she still comes around just to love what's left of me
And though I let her down she still comes around just to love what's left of me

I wake up in the morning I'm still crying, yes I am
And on my lips I can taste your goodnight kiss
In my room the fragrance of your perfume lingers
And I know there must be more to love than this
I look across my lonely room and see your picture
Your loving smiling face I know I miss, yes I would darlin'
And I remebered to another you're still married
And I know there must be more to love than this

The ringing phone sounds like the doorbell to heaven, oh Lord
Your voice sounds like an angel full of bliss
But I'll go through hell tonight if I don't see you
And I know there must be more to love than this
There must be more to love than stolen moments
This love it should have brought me happiness
Ever since we started lovin' I've been hurtin' hurtin' hurtin'
And I know there must be more to love than this
Yes I know there must be more to love than this

(Today I can feel it touching home)
Today pain became a real life's hurtin' thing
And the choir of loneliness sang me a song
Now I know just what it means to lose a lifetime dream
Cause today I can feel it touching home
No longer do I wonder why men have lost their minds
Or wind up in a jungle of flashing neon signs
Now I know just how long a man can last when love is gone
Cause today I can feel it touching home

No longer do I wonder why men have lost their minds
Or wind up in a jungle of flashing neon signs
Now I know just how long a man can last when love is gone
Cause today I can feel it touching home
Cause today I can feel it touching home

You left me and you went away
You said that you'd be back in just a day
Oh yeah, you've broken your promise
And you left me here alone
I don't know why you did dear
But I do know that you're gone

And I'm walkin' the floor over you
(I'm walkin' yes I'm walkin')
I can't sleep a wink that is true
(I'm walkin' yes I'm walkin')
I'm hopin' and I'm prayin'
As my heart breaks right in two
(I'm walkin' yes I'm walkin')
Walkin' the floor over you

Yeah, someday you may be lonesome too
Walkin' that floor is good for you, oh yeah
Just keep right on walkin'
And it won't hurt you to cry
Remember that I love you, baby
And I will till the day I die

I'm walkin' the floor over you
(I'm walkin' yes I'm walkin')
Can't sleep a wink that is true
(I'm walkin' yes I'm walkin')
Hopin' and I'm prayin'
As my heart breaks right in two
(I'm walkin' yes I'm walkin')
Walkin' the floor over you

One more time now

I'm walkin' the floor over you
Can't sleep a wink that is true, oh yeah
Hopin' and I'm prayin', Lord
As my heart breaks right in two
Walkin' the floor over you, yeah

Teeth like a razor

Plucked me a chicken in Memphis

From a fine Alabama hog

Fed the bone to a Louisiana dog

With stamp a-no Grade 'A' seal
As long as it lean, it full-a protein
I'm gonna damn sho' get my fill

There's things I gotta know 'bout the woman I love
And after all is said and done
Girl, you wouldn't be satisfied with anyone
So when you get rid of me
Who will the next fool be?
Will he believe all those lies?
End up like me, with tears in his eyes?
I know, I know, I know, I know
There's things I gotta know 'bout the woman I love so
After all is said and done
Hey, girl, you wouldn't be satisfied with anyone

Who will the next fool be?
Will he believe all those lies?
End up like me, with tears in his eyes?
I know, I know, I know, I know
There's things I gotta know 'bout the woman I love so
You know, after all is said and done
Girl, you wouldn't be satisfied with anyone

The news is out all over town
That you've been seen out runnin' around

You win again

Just trusting in you was my great sin
What can I do?
You Win Again

Yes this heart of mine could never see
What everybody knows but me
Just trusting you was my great sin
What can I do?
You Win Again

I can tell by the way you're a little bit lonesome baby, just like Jerry Lee
It's just like someone that you're needing to forget
Honey, that's the same thing with me I've been wanderin' baby why don't we?
Just make believe it ain't the first time we have met

And before the night is over you're gonna be in love
I bet you by the mornin', I'll be the only one that you'll be thinkin' of
So we will, will come together as close as fingers in a glove
And before the night is over you gonna be in love

Woooo!

Play a little piano I hear!

Yeah!

Honey I can tell, Jerry Lee can tell, somebody might put that lady there right through to hell
And she can use a little tenderness these things I know
O if you feel that it's wrong Lord I could be comin' on a little bit too strong
Just let me know I'll pack my jump I just might go

But before the night is over, you gonna be in love
I bet you by the mornin', I'll be the only one that you'll be thinkin' of
So we will come together as close as fingers in a glove
And before the night is over

Hey girl before the night is over you gonna be in love

Gonna be in love! Whoa!
