GO DOWN Let There Be Rock (1977) (Young, Young, Scott)
Ruby, Ruby, where you been so long? Don't stop drinking whiskey baby since you been gone Ain't no one I know do it as good as you Licking on that licking stick the way you do You got the lips to make a strong man weak and a heathen pray Givin' you the jump it ain't the way you speak, Lord it's just the way Go down Mary, Mary, you're the one for me And the way you hum, sting like a bumble bee bzzzz I'll be around to see you about, about half past ten Ain't felt this good since I don't know when You got the touch that I need so much in your finger tips I got honey what you love to taste on those lovely lips So go down Oh baby, rub it on It's still as sweet, [yeah it's sticky and sweet,] It's been so long [and it's been so long] And no else got a touch like you [ain't no one else...] I let you do the things to me [I'll let you do little things to me] that no other women do It feels good, it feels good, oh yeah Girl you do it like you should (?) I loved it so much You make a ??? of a man (You make me glad I'm a man) Go down
DOG EAT DOG Let There Be Rock (1977) SINGLE: Dog Eat Dog/Carry Me Home SINGLE: Let There Be Rock/Dog Eat Dog (1977) Live at the Atlantic Studios (1977) (Young, Young, Scott)
Well it's a dog eat dog Eat cat too The French eat frog And I eat you Businessman, when you make a deal Do you know who you can trust? Do you sign your life away? Do you write your name in dust? CHORUS: Hey, hey, hey Every dog has his day It's a dog eat dog Dog eat dog "Dog eat dog" Read the news Someone win Someone lose Up's above and down's below And limbo's inbetween Up you win, down you lose It's anybody's game CHORUS And it's a eye for eye Tooth for tooth It's a lie That's the truth See a blind man on the street Looking for something free Hear the kind man ask his friends "Hey, what's in it for me?" CHORUS

In the beginning Back in nineteen fifty-five Man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show And all that jive The white man had the smoltz The black man had the blues No one knew what they was gonna do But Tchaikovsky had the news He said - "Let there be light", and there was light "Let there be sound", and there was sound "Let there be drums", and there was drums "Let there be guitar", and there was guitar "Let there be rock" And it came to pass That rock 'n' roll was born All across the land every rockin' band Was blowing up a storm The guitarman got famous The businessman got rich And in every bar there was a super star With a seven year itch There were fifteen million fingers Learning how to play And you could hear the fingers picking And this is what they had to say "Let there be light" "Sound" "Drums" "Guitar" "Let there be rock" One night in a club called `The Shaking Hand' There was a ninety-two decibel rocking band The music was good and the music was loud And the singer turned and he said to the crowd - "Let there be rock"
BAD BOY BOOGIE Let There Be Rock (1977) If You Want Blood - You've Got It (live) (1978) (Young, Young, Scott)
On the day I was born the rain fell down There was trouble brewing in my home town It was the seventh day, I was the seventh son And it scared the hell out of everyone They said stop, I said go They said fast, I said slow They said yes, I said no I do the bad boy boogie Being a bad boy ain't that bad I've had me more dirty women than most men ever had All you women come along with me And I'll show you how good a bad boy can be I said right and they said left I said east and they said west I said up and they said down I do the bad boy boogie all over town I wanna tell you no story, tell you no lie I was born to love till the day I die I just line them up and I knock them down And they all came running when the word got round (Just keep a running) I said up, they said down They said straight, I said round They said lost, I said found I said free and they said bound Bad boy boogie
OVERDOSE Let There Be Rock (1977) (Young, Young, Scott)
I never smoked with no cigarettes I never drank much booze But I'm only a man, don't you understand And a man can sometimes lose You gave me something I never had Pulled me down with you Pulled me up, think I'm in love Hope you can pull me through CHORUS: I overdosed on you I overdosed on you Crazy but it's true Ain't nothing I can do I overdosed on you Oh woman you give to me More than I can take But listen honey, I don't mind You're a habit I don't want to break Don't want none of that hard stuff Don't need it anymore I'm in love, and I'm sinking fast And I don't need no cure CHORUS Gee I was happy as a man could be To far gone to escape Power of love, don't pull me off Just write on my grave: CHORUS
CRABSODY IN BLUE Let There Be Rock (1977) (Young, Young, Scott)
Well they moved on down And they crawled around Walking sideways Sideway walking Give me the blues And you start to scratch When they start to hatch Walking sideways Sideway walking Give me the blues But when they start to bite Then it's time you set alight For an appointment Before you start to scream That's when you apply the cream Blues ointment Well the doctor said "We got to make our beds" [We got to make 'em dead] Walking sideways Sideway walking Give me the blues And when you start to scream That's when you'll buy the cream Blues ointment And when they start to itch You go out and you take a bitch For an appointment Well you rub it on And you rub it in Stops them walking Sideway walking Gives them the blues

Hey you - Sometimes I think this woman is kinda hot Sometimes I think this woman is sometimes not Puts me down, fools me around What's she doing to me? Out for satisfaction, any piece of action That ain't the way it should be She needs love, smells out a man She's gotta see Pours my beer, licks my ear Brings out the devil in me Hell ain't a bad place to be Spends my money, drinks my booze, stays out every night And I got to thinking, "Hey, just a minute, something ain't right" Disillusions and confusion Make me want to cry All the same, you lead your games Tellin' me your lies Don't mind her playing a demon As long as it's with me If this is hell then you could say It's heavenly Hell ain't a bad place to be Late at night turns down the lights Closes up on me Opens my heart, tears it apart Brings out the devil in me Hell ain't no bad place to be

Wanna tell you a story 'Bout a woman I know When it comes to lovin' Oh she steals the show She ain't exactly pretty Ain't exactly small Forty-two, thirty-nine, fifty-six You could say she's got it all Never had a woman Never had a woman like you Doing all the things Doing all the things you do Ain't no fairy story Ain't no skin and bone But you give it all you got Weighing in at nineteen stone CHORUS: You're a whole lotta woman A whole lotta woman Whole lotta Rosie And you're a whole lotta woman Oh honey you can do it Do it to me all night long Only one to turn Only one to turn me on All through the night time And right around the clock To my surprise Rosie never stops CHORUS
