Got a Lot O' Livin' to Do (Gold Lamé Suit)
Oh yes I've got a lot o' living to do.
A whole lot o' loving to do.
Come on baby, to make a party takes two.
Oh yes I've got a lot o' living to do.
A whole lot o' loving to do.
And there's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you.
1) There's a moon that's big and bright in the milky way tonight.
But the way you act you never would know it's there.
So baby, time's a wasting.
A lot of kisses I ain't been tasting.
I don't know about you but I'm gonna get my share.
2) There's a balmy little breeze.
That's whistling through the trees.
And it's telling you to pitch a little woo with me.
Why don't you take a listen.
You'll never know what you've been missing.
Cuddle up a little closer and be my little honey bee.
3) You're the prettiest thing I've seen.
But you treat me so doggone mean.
Ain't you got no heart, I'm dying to hold you near.
Why do you keep me waiting.
Why don't you start co-operating.
And the things I say are things you want to hear.
And there's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you.

Guitar man
Well, I quit my job down at the car wash.
Left my mama a goodbye note.
By sundown I'd left Kingston.
With my guitar under my coat.
I hitchhiked all the way down to Memphis.
Got a room at the YMCA.
For the next three weeks I went huntin' them nights.
Just lookin' for a place to play.
Well, I thought my pickin' would set 'em on fire.
But nobody wanted to hire a guitar man.
Well, I nearly 'bout starved to death down in Memphis.
I run outta money and luck.
So I bought me a ride down to Macon, Georgia.
On a overloaded poultry truck.
I thumbed on down to Panama City.
Started pickin' out some o' them all night bars.
Hopin' I could make myself a dollar.
Makin' music on my guitar.
I got the same old story at them all night piers.
There ain't no room around here for a guitar man.
We don't need a guitar man, son.
So I slept in the hobo jungles.
Roamed a thousand miles of track.
Till I found myself in Mobile Alabama.
At a club they call Big Jack's.
A little four-piece band was jammin'.
So I took my guitar and I sat in.
I showed 'em what a band would sound like.
With a swingin' little guitar man.
Show 'em, son.
If you ever take a trip down to the ocean.
Find yourself down around Mobile.
Make it on out to a club called Jack's.
If you got a little time to kill.
Just follow that crowd of people.
You'll wind up out on his dance floor.
Diggin' the finest little five piece group.
Up and down the Gulf of Mexico.
Guess who's leadin' that five-piece band.
Well, wouldn't ya know, it's that swingin' little guitar man, yeah yeah
