Strut My Stuff lyrics - Canned Heat

Gee I’m feelin mighty mighty lonesome

Gee I’m feelin mighty mighty lonesome

I need her with me and I don’t know what I’m gonna do

She even told me right from the start

If I ever leave you Daddy gonna break your heart

Every time I think about it makes me feel so blue.

Well my baby she wrote me a note

And this was the answer that I wrote

Come on babe don’t sing the blues with me

I’m just as sweet as any man gonna be

She even told me right to me face

Any old man, yeah could take my place

I’m getting tired of my lowdown ways

I’m going back to my baby today

Come on Honey, please don’t bluff,

I wanna trip out tonight I wanna strut my stuff

I mean I wanna strut my stuff

House Of Blue Lights lyrics - Canned Heat

[scat]

Lace up your boots and we'll broom on down

To a knocked out shack on the edge of town

There's an eight beat combo that just don't quit

Keep walkin' 'til you see a blue light lit

Fall in there and we'll see some sights

At the house, the house of blue lights.

They got fryers, broilers, Detroit barbecue ribs

But the treat of the trade is when they serve you those fine eight beats

You'll want to spend the rest of your nights

Down at the house, the house of blue lights.

[scat]

Well, lace up your boots and we'll broom on down

To a knocked out shack on the edge of town

There's an eight beat combo that just don't quit

Keep walkin' 'til you see a blue light lit

Fall in there and we'll see some sights

At the house, the house of blue lights.

They got fryers, broilers, Detroit barbecue ribs

But the treat of the trade is when they serve you those fine eight beats

You'll want to spend the rest of your nights

Down at the house, the house of blue lights.

Human Condition lyrics - Canned Heat

Well it's a low down kinda condition

Been running round my brain

Says it may drive me insane

And every organism

That I can hear and see

Seems to have the blues with me

So I went to the doctor

Sat down on her bed

Looked up right at her

This is what she said

"You're in a human condition

That's what's got you down

Human condition

Your face is full of frowns

You've got to stand your ground"

"Well, you're sad, weak and weary"

She went on to say

"Nothing seems to go your way"

"And though you've tried and tried

You can't be satisfied

No-one seems to treat you right"

"But there's one thing for certain

That you ought to know

There's been lots of people

In that scene before"

"You're in a human condition

That's what's got you down

Human condition

Your face is full of frowns

You've got to stand your ground"

Well I stood up and I left her

And slowly walked away

Looking for a brighter day

And as I thought about it

A new thought came to me

Maybe we cannot be free

Well a whole lot of bad things

The world might throw at you

Stand up straight and strong

It's the only thing to do

You're in a human condition

That's what's got you down

Human condition

Your face is full of frowns

You've got to stand your ground

You Can Run, But You Sure Can't Hide lyrics - Canned Heat

I can feel, Lord, the pain of a worried mind

That wants to run and hide

To stay or go, she sure just don’t know

You can run, but you sure can’t hide

I’ve made mistakes, but hell, I’m not alone

Hurts almost, almost everywhere

You know that old road of life, it’s just full of strife

You can run, but you sure can’t hide

Lord, when your life is all the time full of pain

Don’t you know that everyday, everyday of your life’s gonna bring about a change

You got to keep your head up high, keep your, keep your stomach dry

And I’ll tell you the sun, always follows the rain

[Instrumental – 2 verses]

When your life feels like it ain’t goin nowhere

You can only keep it together and know that everyday goin to bring about a change

Just walk straight, carry a big stick, then you’ll know why

There’s always a fine sun shiny day… after the rain

It’s said time will heal a broken heart

Sounds too good to be true

But to believe, Yeah I say to really believe and be satisfied

You can run, but you sure can’t hide

Well you think it’s all wrong, Lord baby you wrong

You can run, but you sure can’t hide.

Rock And Roll lyrics - Canned Heat

Now do you hear that rock'n'roll music,

Well it sure sounds good to me,

Round the world baby, 

This music can't be beat,

Well I see that we're goin' back,

Back to rockin' times of old,

Put on your rockin' shoes baby, 

Down the road we'll go,

Well that rollin' keeps me rockin',

Deep down in my shoes,

If you feel right your gonna stomp your feet,

To that good old rock'n'roll beat,

That good old rock'n'roll music,

Gets deep down in your soul,

Put on your rockin' shoes baby, 

Down the road we'll go.

[Music]

Well this rollin' keeps me rockin',

Lord deep down in my shoes,

If you feel right lord your gonna stomp your feet,

To that good old rock'n'roll beat,

Do you hear that rock'n'roll music,

Well it sure sounds good to me,

Well round the world baby,

Lord this music can't be beat.

Framed lyrics - Canned Heat

Well I was walkin' down the street 

Mindin' my own affairs 

When two policemen come up from behind 

And grab me unawares 

They said "You big bad Burton Cummings?" 

I said "Why sure!" 

They said "You're the cat we been lookin' for!" 

Well, I was framed. 

Framed, framed, framed I was blamed 

Framed, framed, framed 

Well I never do nothin' 

But I always get framed 

Well they took me to the lineup 

And let those bright lights shine 

There were 6 poor souls like me 

Standin' up there in that line 

The judge got a witness 

And got her way up on the witness stand 

A woman jump up, start screamin' 

"That's your man!" 

I was framed. 

Framed, framed, framed I was blamed 

Framed, framed, framed 

Well I never do nothin' 

But I always get framed 

Well the prosecutin' attorney started prosecutin' me 

Man, I mean that cat let loose and gave me the third degree 

He says "Where were you on the night of July 16th, 1963?" 

I said "I was cruisin'... just my sweetie and me..." 

I was framed. 

Framed, framed, framed I was blamed 

Framed, framed, framed 

Well I never do nothin' 

But I always get framed 

I get framed 

I get set up 

With circumstantial evidence 

Innocent bystander, stand by me 

I'm gon' need you

I'm A Hog For You, Baby lyrics - Canned Heat

Well I'm a hog for you baby

I can't get enough of your love

I'm a hog for you baby

I can't get enough of your love

When I go to sleep at night

You're the only thing I'm dreaming of

One little piggy went to London

One piggy went to Hong Kong

This little piggy's coming over your house

I'm gonna rock you all night long

Cos I'm a hog for you baby

I can't get enough of your love

When I go to sleep at night

You're the only thing I'm dreaming of

One little piggy ate a pizza

One piggy ate potato chips

This little piggy's coming over you house

I'm gonna lock up those sweet lips

Cos I'm a hog for you baby

I can't get enough of your love

When I go to sleep at night

You're the only thing I'm dreaming of

[Guitar Solo - 24 bars]

One little piggy went to London

One piggy went to Hong Kong

This little piggy's coming over your house

I'm gonna rock you all night long

Cos I'm a hog for you baby

I can't get enough of your love

When I go to sleep at night

You're the only thing I'm dreaming of

When I go to sleep at night

You're the only thing I'm dreaming of

When I go to sleep at night

You're the only thing I'm dreaming of

We Remember Fats (Fats Domino Medley) lyrics - Canned Heat

[I – Fat Man]

They call, they call me the fat man 

'cause I weigh two hundred pounds. 

All the girls do love me 

'cause I know my way around. 

I was standing, I was standing on the corner 

Of Rampart and Canal. 

I was watching, watching. 

Watching all Creole gals. 

I'm going, going, goin' away 

And I'm going, goin' to stay 

'cause women and bad life 

They're carryin' this soul away.

[II – I'm In Love Again]

Yes it's me and I'm in love again

Had no lovin' since you know when

You know I love you, yes I do

And I'm saving all my lovin' just for you

Need your lovin' and I need it bad

Just like a dog when he's goin' mad

Woo-ee baby, woo-oo-ee

Baby won't you give your love to me?

Eenie meenie and miney-mo

Told me you'd'n't want me around no more

Woo-ee baby, woo-oo-ee

Baby don't you let your dog bite me

Yes it's me and I'm in love again

Had no lovin' since you know when

You know I love, you yes I do

And I'm saving all my lovin' just for you

Eenie, meenie, and miney-mo

Told me you'd'n't want me around no more

Woo-ee baby, woo-oo-ee

Baby don't you let your dog bite me

[III – I'm Walkin']

I'm walking, yes, indeed 

I'm talking 'bout you and me 

I'm hoping that you'll come back to me 

I'm lonely as I can be 

I'm waiting for your company 

I'm hoping that you'll come back to me 

What're you gonna do when the well runs dry 

You're gonna run away and hide 

I'm gonna run right by your side 

For you pretty baby, I'd even die 

I'm walking ... 

I'm lonely ... 

What're you gonna do when the well runs dry 

You're gonna sit right down and cry 

What're you gonna do when I say "Bye-bye" 

All you're gonna do is dry your eyes 

I'm walking ...

I like the way you walk

Let me hold your hand

Try to understand

I want a girl like you

Tell my love is true

[VI – I'm Ready]

And I'm ready, I'm willing and I'm able to rock and roll all night. 

I'm ready, I'm willing and I'm able to rock and roll all night. 

Come on pretty baby, 

We're gonna rock, we're gonna roll until the broad daylight 

Because I'm ready, mmm, 

And I'm able, mmm. 

I'm willing and I'm able, 

So you'd better come and go with me. 

We're gonna rock and roll til tomorrow 'bout three. 

Talking on the phone is not my speed. 

Don't send me no letter, cause I can't read. 

Don't be long, cause I'll be gone. 

We'll go rock and rolling all night long. 

Cause I'm ready, I'm willing, and I'm able to rock and roll all night.

Cause I'm ready, I'm willing, and I'm able to rock and roll all night.

[VII – So Long]

So long, don't where I'm going 

But so long, you know you done me wrong 

So long, because I know I'm not the one 

Goodbye, please tell me why 

Goodbye, you always make me cry 

Oh why, why are you never satisfied 

[Instrumental] 

So long, I'm all packed up and on my way 

So long, you'll need me some ol' sunny day 

So long, yes I'm, I'm going to stay

Sweet Sixteen lyrics - Canned Heat

How about it? How about it? It takes a lot of people to make it possible, 

So give 'em a big hand. Everybody is working to try to make it nicer. 

Anyway! As I leave you... a little bit of Sweet Sixteen for the guys - 

Just a taste - give me C for Sweet Sixteen... 

When I first met you baby, baby you were just sweet sixteen 

First met you baby, baby you was just sweet sixteen 

Just left your home then baby, oh the sweetest thing I'd ever seen 

But you wouldn't do nothing for me baby, you wouldn't do anything I asked you to 

You wouldn't do nothing for me baby, oh you wouldn't do anything I asked you to 

You know you ran away from your home baby, and now you wanna run away from old me too 

My brother's in Korea baby, my sister's down in New Orleans 

Brother's in Korea baby, oh sister sister down in New Orleans 

You know I'm having so much troubles people, baby I wonder what in the world is gonna happen to me 

Oh yes sweet sixteen baby... sweet sixteen... oh yes 

The sweetest thing baby, oh yes 

The sweetest thing I ever seen 

You know I'm having so much trouble people, baby I wonder what in the world's gonna happen to me 

Sweet sixteen... sweet sixteen oh yes 

You know I'm having so much trouble people 

Baby I wonder 

Yes I wonder 

Baby I wonder 

I wonder what in the world's gonna happen to me

I'd Rather Be The Devil lyrics - Canned Heat

I'd rather be the devil, to be that woman man

I'd rather be the devil, to be that woman man

Aw, nothin' but the devil, changed my baby's mind

Was nothin' but the devil, changed my baby's mind

I laid down last night, laid down last night

I laid down last night, tried to take my rest

My mind got to ramblin', like a wild geese

From the west, from the west

The woman I love, woman that I loved

Woman I loved, took her from my best friend

But he got lucky, stoled her back again

And he got lucky, stoled her back again

I Wish You Would lyrics - Canned Heat

Early in the morning, 'bout the break of day,

That's when my baby went away.

Come back, baby, I wish you would,

Try and love me, you won't do no good.

Walking and a-kissing late at night;

I tell you now baby, I feel just right.

Come now baby, whatcha trying to do?

Trying to love me and some other man, too.

Come now baby, give me one more chance.

You know I still love you, want to give you romance.

Yeah romance, all night long, in my arms, woah yeah.

Early in the morning, 'bout the break of day,

That's when my baby went away.

Come back, baby, I wish you would,

Try and love me, you won't do no good.

You know baby that I love you so.

You know, pretty baby, it hurts me to see you go.

Oh yeah, oh yeah.

It Hurts Me Too lyrics - Canned Heat

You said you was hurtin', almost lost your mind

'Cause the man you love hurt you all the time (note 1)

But when things go wrong, wrong with you

It hurts me too

You love him a little more, when you should love him less (note 2)

Why pick up behind him and take his mess

'Cause when things go wrong, wrong with you

It hurts me too

You love another man, little girl you know I love you

But you love him and stick to him just about like glue

'Cause when things go wrong, wrong with you

It hurts me too

Well he'd better leave you, or you'd best put him down

'Cause you know I just can't stand to see, see you pushed around (note 3)

'Cause when things go wrong, wrong with you

It hurts me too
