They're gonna put me in the movies
They're gonna make a big star out of me
We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
And all I got to do is act naturally

Well, I bet you I'm a gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar you can never tell
The movie's gonna make me a big star,
'Cause I can play the part so well.

Well, I hope you come and see me in the movie
Then I'll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time
And all I got to do is act naturally.

We'll make a scene about a man that's sad and lonely
And Begging down upon his bended knee
I'll play the part but I won't need rehearsing
All I have to do is act naturally.

Well, I bet you I'm a gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar you can never tell
The movie's gonna make me a big star,
'Cause I can play the part so well.

Well, I hope you come and see me in the movie
Then I'll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time
And all I got to do is act naturally...

I came here lookin' for somethin'
I couldn't find anywhere else
Well, I don't want to be nobody,
Just want a chance to be myself.

I've done a thousand miles of thumbin',
Yes, I've worn blisters on my heels
Trying to find me something better
On the streets of Bakersfield.

Chorus:
You don't know me but you don't like me,
You say you care less how I feel
How many of you that sit and judge me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

--- Instrumental ---

Spent some time in San Francisco,
Spent a night there in the can
They threw this drunk man in my jail cell,
I took fifteen dollars from that man.

I left him my watch and my old house keys,
I don't like folks thinking that I'd steal
Then I thanked him as he was sleeping,
And I headed out for Bakersfield.

Chorus:
You don't know me but you don't like me,
You say you care less how I feel
How many of you that sit and judge me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield

How many of you that sit and judge me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield...

I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see
I won't be much when you get through with me
Well I'm a-losing weight and I'm turning mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

Well I thought the day I met you, you were meek as a lamb
Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans
Now, the pace we're livin' takes the wind from my sails
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
I've got a tiger by the tail

I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see
I won't be much when you get through with me
Well I'm a-losing weight and I'm turning mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

Well, every night you drag me where the bright lights're found
There ain't no way to slow you down
I'm about as helpless as a leaf in a gale and it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
I've got a tiger by the tail

I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see
I won't be much when you get through with me
Well I'm a-losing weight and I'm turning mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

Oh, my heart skips a beat,
When we walk down the street
I feel a tremblin' in my knees
And just to know your mine,
Until the end of time
Makes my heart skip a beat.

Well, I did a double take the day I met you
My heart turned a flip as I stood next to you
And I knew right there I never could forget you
For you are my every dream come true.

And my heart skips a beat,
When we walk down the street
I feel a tremblin' in my knees
And just to know your mine,
Until the end of time
Makes my heart skip a beat.

--- Instrumental ---

You came into my life without a warning
And you turned my cloudy skies from gray to blue
Your my sunshine that comes up every morning
Yes, you are my every dream come true.

And my heart skips a beat,
When we walk down the street
I feel a tremblin' in my knees
And just to know your mine,
Until the end of time
Makes my heart skip a beat...

Together again
My tears have stopped falling
The long lonely nights
Are now at an end

The key to my heart
You hold in your hand
And nothing else matters
We're together again

Together again
The gray skies are gone
You're back in my arms
Now where you belong

The love that I knew
Is living again
And nothing else matters
We're together again

And nothing else matters
We're together again

Oh, you say that you're goin' away and leave me
And you say you ain't never coming back
That you're sick and tired of how I'm doing
And you're gonna head off down the track.

But darlin' before you go be sure you know how much I love you
And that I'm sorry for the quarrels that we had
If you leave you're gonna tear my world to pieces
So take it slow be sure you know before you go.

--- Instrumental ---

Oh, your wounded pride has blinded your reason
And right now you want to hurt me if you can
The man is waiting here to take you to the station
And you're leaving with your ticket in your hand.

But darlin' before you go be sure you know how much I love you
And that I'm sorry for the quarrels that we had
If you leave you're gonna tear my world to pieces
So take it slow be sure you know before you go...

I got the hungries for your love,
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line.

Well, I ain't got nothin'
But the shirt on my back,
And an old two button suit
I walked outta my job
About a week ago,
And now I'm sleepin' in a
Telephone booth
But I'm a-gonna be
The richest guy around,
The day you say you're mine

I got the hungries for your love
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line

Well, when I first saw you babe,
You nearly made me wreck
My ol' '49 Cadillac
I knew at a glance
That it was you for me;
I had to have your love by heck
I'm gonna follow you baby
Wherever you go;
I got nothin' to lose
But my time

I got the hungries for your love,
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line

--- Instrumental ---

Well, you made me
The top dog on your hill,
And I was overjoyed
But it didn't take long
'Til the thrill was gone,
I joined the ranks of
The unemployed
Now, I'm right back where
That I started from,
But that ain't gonna
Change my mind

I got the hungries for your love,
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line

Yeah, I'm waitin' in your welfare line
(Gimme a handout)
I'm waitin' in your welfare line...

Think of me when you're lonely
Think of me when you're blue
Think of me when you're far away
And I'll be thinking of you

Remember all of the good times
We had in days gone by
Remember all of the sadness
The day you said goodbye
You told me you would be leavin'
But you wouldn't be gone too long
Now I hope and pray with each new day
That you'll come a-travelin' home

Think of me when you're lonely
Think of me when you're blue
Think of me when you're far away
And I'll be thinking of you

I watch the mailman comin'
I wait by the telephone
I meet the trains down at the station
And I spend my nights alone
But now the waitin' is over
And Time has set the scene
'Cos God meant me for only you
And he meant you for me

Think of me when you're lonely
Think of me when you're blue
Think of me when you're far away
And I'll be thinking of you

Open up your heart and let my love come in
Open up your heart and let my life begin
The sun's gonna shine, there'll be blue skies again
When you open up your heart and let my love come in.

I know you've been hurt by an old love affair
But darling, don't blame me I wasn't even there
Your long lonely nights I will bring to an end
When you open up your heart and let my love come in.

Open up your heart and let my love come in
Open up your heart and let my life begin
The sun's gonna shine, there'll be blue skies again
When you open up your heart and let my love come in.

--- Instrumental ---

Someone before me has treated you like dirt
Someone before me has made your heart hurt
Your long lonely nights I will bring to an end
When you open up your heart and let my love come in.

Open up your heart and let my love come in
Open up your heart and let my life begin
The sun's gonna shine, there'll be blue skies again
When you open up your heart and let my love come in.

When you open up your heart and let my love come in...

Where does the good times go?
Where does the river flow?
Where does the north wind blow?
Where does the good times go?

Lips that used to burn with love
Now are cold beneath my touch
Still I love you, Oh, so much!
Where does the good times go?

Where does the good times go?
Where does the river flow?
Where does the north wind blow?
Where does the good times go?

Arms that used to hold me tight
Eyes that shone with love so bright
Now have changed like day to night
Where does the good times go?

Where does the good times go?
Where does the good times go?

There's a place down the street we call Sam's Place.
It starts a-jumpin' every evening when the sun goes down.
You can always find me down at Sam's Place,
For that's where the gang all hangs around.

There's ol' Shimmy Shakin' Tina
She hails from Pasadena.
She always got a big smile on her face.
There's Hootch-y-kootchy Hattie, she comes from Cincinnati,
Yeah, there's always a party at Sam's Place.

Well, they've got a swingin' band down at Sam's Place.
You can hear 'em pickin' twenty blocks away.
They're playin' country music down at Sam's Place,
From the setting sun until the break of day.

There's ol' Shimmy Shakin' Tina
She hails from Pasadena.
She always got a big smile on her face.
There's Hootch-y-kootchy Hattie, she comes from Cincinnati,
Yeah, there's always a party at Sam's Place.

And I'll meet you tonight at Sam's Place.

I don't need the ship that sail to ocean
I don't need fancy clothes to wear
I just need your sweet sweet lips to kiss me
I just need your tender loving care.

Winter needs the north wind and the snowflakes
Springtime needs the flowers soft and rare
I just need to feel your arms around me
I just need your tender loving care.

--- Instrumental ---

Day goes by so slow when you're not with me
Nights are long and oh so, hard to bare
Everything is nothing dear without you
And I'm nothing without your tender loving care.

I just need your tender loving care...

How long is forever
How soon is now or never
How long will these heartaches linger on
And how long will my baby, be gone.

How wide is the notion
How deep is the devotion
How long do these sleepless nights go on
And how long will my baby, be gone.

For I could never understand
How she could turn to another man.

How much does a heart ache
How deep is a heartbreak
How long do these sleepless nights go on
And how long will my baby, be gone.

For I could never understand
How she could turn to another man.

How much does a heart ache
How deep is a heartbreak
How long do these sleepless nights go on
And how long will my baby,
How long will my baby, be gone...

Who's gonna dry your big blue eyes day after day
Who's gonna jump when you say frog who's gonna bow and scrape
After I've gone away
Who's gonna kiss ye and who's gonna miss ye who's gonna hold to your hand
Who's gonna chap your candle in wood after I've made new plans
Hey who's gonna be your man

Who's gonna bring you your breakfast in bed who's gonna whisper goodnight
Who's gonna keep you warm as toast on those cold winter nights
And who's gonna be your puppy dog when I'm a thing of the past
Hey who's gonna mow your grass

Beware of a tall dark stranger
if he comes ridin' into your town
A tall dark stranger is danger (danger)
so don't let no stranger hang around

For he can capture the heart of a woman
With one glance from his flashing brown eyes
Like a bolt from the blue he can steal her from you
Then jump up on his pony and ride ride ride
So beware of a tall dark stranger...
if he comes ridin' into your town
A tall dark stranger is danger (danger)
so don't let no stranger hang around

They say a tall dark stranger is a demon
and that a devil rides closely by his side
With no warning he can strike like the thief in the night
Then jump up on his pony and ride, ride, ride
So beware of a tall dark stranger...
if he comes ridin' into your town
A tall dark stranger is danger (danger)
so don't let no stranger hang around
So don't let no stranger hang around

My transistor radio comes from far away
And when it's night over here over there it's a breakin day
I remember all the good times I had a walkin in the sand
With the beautiful girl that I met made in Japan

The beauty of her face was beyond my wildest dreams
Like cherry blossoms blooming in the mountain in the early spring
As we walked by the river and she softly took hold of my hand
Thats when I fell deep in love with the girl made in Japan

In the dark of night we would lay on Tokoyo Bay
And the singin of the birds woke us up at the break of day
Her smiling eyes always seemed to try to understand
All the love in my heart for the girl made in Japan

My transistor radio comes from far away
And when it's night over here over there it's a breakin day
She cried when she said she'd been promised to another man
Thats when I left my heart with the girl made in Japan
Yes my heart will always be with the girl made in Japan.

Deep down in Lousiana, close to New Orleans
Back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood an old cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B.Goode.
Who'd never, ever learned to read or write, so well
But he could play a guitar just like a ringin' a bell
Go, go, go, Johnny go, go,
Go Johnny go, go, go, Johnny go,
Go, go, go, go, Johnny go,
Go, go, Johnny B Goode.

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Sit beside the tree by the railroad track
The engineer would see him sittin' in the shade
Listen to the rhythm that the drivers made
The people comin' by they would stop and say
Oh, my but that little country boy could play
Go, go, go, Johnny go, go,
go, Johnny go, go, go, Johnny go,
Go, go, Johnny B Goode.

--- Instrumental ---

His mama told him someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old band
Many people come from miles around
To hear you play your music till the sun goes down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
A sayin' Johnny B Goode tonight
Go, go, go, Johnny go, go,
go, Johnny go, go, go, Johnny go,
Go, go, Johnny B Goode...
