All Lyrics (c) Batchelor / Wood

Hit The Town

This one will run & run

We're gonna have some fun

Had enough misery

I'm getting off my tree

This time

Meet a girl, I'm gonna make her mine

This one will run & run,

Gonna end up in the HAH- HAH-

HIT THE TOWN HIT THE TOWN HIT THE TOWN HIT THE TOWN HIT THE TOWN HIT THE TOWN HIT THE TOWN HIT THE TOWN

Uh Woo Uh Woo

This time gonna drink some wine

Have a ball with friends of mine

This one will run & run,

Gonna end up in the HOLLER HOLLER

HIT THE TOWN HIT THE TOWN HIT THE TOWN HIT THE TOWN HIT THE TOWN HIT THE TOWN HIT THE TOWN HIT THE TOWN

aaaahhThis night will never end

I'm going round the bend

I'm going up the wall

But we're gonna have a ball

THIS time

Meet a girl I'm gonna make her mine

-This one will run & run-

Gonna end up in the HOLLER HOLLER

HIT THE TOWN! HIT THE TOWN! HIT THE TOWN! HIT THE TOWN! HIT THE TOWN! HIT THE TOWN! HIT THE TOWN! HIT THE TOWN!

(Uh Woo Uh Woo)

The Party Tiger

I'm a bodysnatcher, I can reproduce your sound

I'll live comfortably, but history makes me a clown

I'll get along

But no-one remember me when I'm gone

I can make a copy and it's perfect in its way

Won't go down in history but I'm living for today

I'll get along

But no-one remember me when I'm gone

Well, I'm a bodysnatcher I can reproduce your face

Even got the memories, but it's somehow kind of lame

I'll get along

But no-one remember me when I'm gone

Domino

Well the fat man is The King,

That is what I sing.

Antoine Domino,

How I love him so.

Domino! Domino! Domino! Domino! Domino! Domino! Domino! Domino! Domino!

Well he sings with total love

It's a force from up above.

And you know what that means-

He's an angel from New Orleans!

Domino! Domino! Domino! Domino! Domino! Domino! Domino! Domino! Domino!

So if you want to swing,

Get swinging with The King,

'Cause one day he won't be here-

He's the Best Singer Ever In The World!

Domino! Domino! Domino! Domino! Domino! Domino! Domino! Domino! Domino!

Domino! Domino! Domino! Domino!

Domino!

Good Things
	I can't enjoy the sunshine
	Cos I'd rather be with you,
	I can't enjoy the mountaintop
	Cos I want you to be here too.
	All my friends are doing things with the ones they adore!
	The good things make it worse.
	Yeah the good things make it worse,
	The good things make it worse.

	There's a festival and I'm not going
	It'd be too sad.
	Two tickets for Australia would just make me feel bad.
	& all my friends are doing things with the ones they adore:
	The good things make it worse,
	Yeah the good things make it worse,
	The good things make it worse.

	I don't expect that I'll be going to the flicks with you again
	Somehow every film I see
	Just reminds me of you and him
	All my friends are doing things with the ones they adore,
	And the good things make it worse,
	The good things make it worse,
	The good things make it worse, for me.

Debut, So Big!

	Start of a downhill slide
	Tell all my friends goodbye,
	Goodbye from me, goodbye, goodbye from me...
	Plucked from a Camden stage
	By people twice your loving age
	What did they say to you, what did they say?

	"Oh, you're gonna debut so big, baby, debut so big, baby, debut, baby, Baby So Big!"

	Legally obliged
	Urging you to downsize
	Greasing wheels, Copping major feels on the anticline
	Now the mood in the van was grim
	And on the plane sat the manager trim
	Trim - phoning out to the stratosphere
	There's no-one here
	Of that name anymore...
	"Oh, you're gonna debut so big, baby, debut so big, baby, debut, baby, Baby So Big!"
	"Oh, you're gonna debut so big, baby, debut so big, baby, debut, baby, Baby So Big!"
	"Baby so big!"
	"Baby so
	Baby so
	Baby so
	Baby so
	Baby so
	Baby so
	big!"
	"Oh, you're gonna debut so big, baby, debut so big, baby, debut, baby, Baby So Big!"
	"Oh, you're gonna debut so big, baby, debut so big, baby, debut, baby, Baby So Big!"
	"Oh, you're gonna debut so big, baby, debut so big, baby, debut, baby, Baby So Big!"
	Baby did they lie to you?
	Babe what did they try to do -
	Get into your brain,
	Your pants and your veins?
	"Oh, you're gonna debut so big, baby, debut so big, baby, debut, baby, Baby So Big!"

I've Got To Move

	Night is alive and all the streets sing to me
	I look around at everything I want to be
	Don't think she'd like it if she knew I was here with you
	As it is I'm gonna pack my bags,
	Got travelling to do
	HeyHeyHey!
	Don't get in my way!
	I got to move, I got to move, I got to move..............................Got to move today!

	A game of sexy cars has us spinning out of view,
	Honing in on me just as I'm zoning out on you
	Tired out and same-old keeps us heading to the door -
	This town isn't big enough for you and me any more
	HeyHeyHey!
	Don't get in my way!
	I got to move, I got to move, I got to move..............................Got to move today!
	Don't know where I'm going,
	But when I get there,
	That's when I'll know,
	There'll be some trees, and freshfruit growing.

	Night is alive and all the streets sing to me
	I look around at everything I want to be
	Don't think she'd like it if she knew I was here with you
	As it is I'm gonna pack my bags,
	Got travelling to do!
	HeyHeyHey!
	Don't get in my way!
	I got to move, I got to move, I got to move..............................Got to move today!
	Got to move today!
	Got to move today!
	Got to move today!

Secret Sign

	Leave it alone cos you'll never be right
	Until she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.
	Leave it alone cos you'll never be right
	Until she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.
	You'll never make any sort of start,
	You'll never replenish your heart,
	She'll never want you-
	You'll always be apart..,

	I know that she's sweet and she's kind and you think
	You'll never find another one like her.
	You think of her body every day,
	You won't look at other girls!
	What can you do now there my friend?
	She is free and that's the end,
	She's got a strange power over you
	Whatever you do..

	I've been left a secret sign, God knows she'll be mine,
	God knows she'll be mine; I've been left a secret sign,
	God knows she'll be mine, God knows she'll be mine!

	So leave it alone cos you won't feel so good
	Until she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.
	Leave it alone cos you won't feel so great
	Until she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone,
	She's got you wagging like a dog,
	Hopping around just like a frog,
	AND MISERY COMES POURING OUT OF YOU...

	I've been left a secret sign, God knows she'll be mine,
	God knows she'll be mine.. I've been left a secret sign,
	God knows she'll be mine, God knows she'll be mine..
	I've been left a secret sign, God knows she'll be mine,
	God knows she'll be mine.. I've been left a secret sign,
	God knows she'll be mine, God knows she'll be mine..

More Country Blues

	I can't sleep,
	I can't eat.
	Since I saw you,
	I can't do a thing.
	I can't work,
	In fact I'm paralysed,
	It'd be okay if I could just have a date with you.

	I walk in places
	I never go.
	For your smile
	I'd search high and low.
	Cos if I don't
	See you again
	From this town I'm gonna pack my bags and go.

	Your long legs,
	And your gorgeous ears,
	Your lovely smile,
	I want them near.
	Cos I've been prayin'
	For a change in luck,
	Cos I've got to get myself out of this rut.

Ooh Ooh Ooh

I wanna wake up next to her eyes

I want to sleep with her tonight

There's prettier girls around

But she's got something that cannot be found.

She's ace, I love her face,

Want to be her mate, I think she's great,

I wanna wake up next to her eyes, ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha;

Oo oo oo ooo, Oo oo oo ooo,

She makes me tingle

And I go "Wooo!"

She flash a look

And I am on a hook

She's sweet and lovely,

Makes my heart look ugly

I wanna wake up next to your eyes, ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha;

Oo oo oo ooo, Oo oo oo ooo,

I wanna wake up next to your eyes, ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha;

Oo oo oo ooo, Oo oo oo ooo,

Oo oo oo ooo, Oo oo oo ooo......

The Three Fs

When I get down,

Wearing a frown,

I go for the King,

The Crooner and the Clown,

Fats and Frank and Formby,

Keeping me happy,

When the blues are strong it's Fats and Frank and Formby.

An evening with Fats...

A summer with Frank,

A morning with George and my troubles are all blank.

Fats and Frank and Formby,

Keeping me happy,

When the blues are strong it's Fats and Frank and Formby.

They're singing with love,

They're doin' it with style,

The Walkman goes on,

Feel tall as a mile,

Fats and Frank and Formby,

Keeping me happy,

When the blues are strong it's Fats and Frank and Formby.

It's F for Fats,

It's F for Frank,

And F for Formby, F for "Frank in his Tank",

Fats and Frank and Formby,

Keeping me happy,

When the blues are strong it's Fats and Frank and Formby,

and again,

When the blues are strong it's Fats and Frank and Formby,

one more time;

When the blues are strong it's Fats and Frank and Formby.
