Is everybody feelin good? you makin us feel good, too!
Now, early this morning I got on that long distance telephone
And I called my mama.
I said, mama, this is your boy, and Im way down here in
New orleans, louisiana.
And she said, thats all right, boy.
And she turned to my papa and she said,
papa, our boys way down there in new orleans.
We cannot let him stay out all night long.
She did!
Long about that time, I heard my papa lean toward my mama.
I heard papa tell mama, let that boy boogie-woogie.
He said, its in him and its got to come out.
So I went downtown.
Theres a lot of people there.
They was-a really havin a ball.
And I felt so good.
Yes, I felt so good.
Yes, I felt so good.
Yes, I felt so good.
Yes, I felt so good.
Yes, I felt so good.
Yes, I felt so good.
Boogie, children!
Boogie, children!

ZZ Top - 2000 Blues - lyrics

A hundred thousand dollars
wouldn't touch the price I paid
of the hundred thousand moments
of the times I wish I'd stayed.
But even if I had all the time and money,
it's still the same old news.
Nothin' does you any good
when you got 2000 blues.
Ten thousand clouds
on a rainy rainy day
couldn't wash away
all the dust and the haze.
But I tried and I tried
to search for all the clues,
why I can't wash away
these 2000 blues.
If I had an airplane
with a co-pilot too,
I'd fly to a planet
that was closest to you.
I'd set the tracking system
with your safety fuse,
and set the countdown
for 2000 blues.

ZZ Top - Avalon Hideaway - lyrics

(gibbons, hill, beard) 3:07
Somebody breathin down my neck
While Im tryin to roll the bones
I dont care Ill just float a check
Cause Im feelin my gamblin jones
Here come seven, gimme eleven come again
Love to hideout where I am my own best friend
Theres crazy little linda lou
With the long and lanky legs
Nobody do it like linda do
At these backwoods lone star dregs
Like I told you, head out fm 92
Roll in slowly, youll be safer if you do
If you dont know what Im talkin about
Let me ease your worried mind
Its the place to go without a doubt
But its a little bit hard to find
Back in the timber, once youre there
Youll wanna stay
Get loose and limber anytime night or day
Just remember, ask for the avalon hideaway

ZZ Top - Alley-Gator - lyrics

Crawlin' 'cross the floor at the Holiday Inn motel
saw that girl that my swamp bone knew so well
She crawled out of Texas flipped off to Baton Rouge
She got that Gulf Coast sun tan that give a poor boy the blues
Alley-gator
With those hypnotic big green eyes
Alley-gator
She'll make you 'fraid 'em
She'll chew you up, ain't no lie
Yeah yeah yeah
Crawlin' through the weeds with a Louisiana mean-toothed grin
You tell her that you love her, then you better tell her once again
She might scratch your back, rub you with her rack
You better watch out or stand back
Alley-gator
With those hypnotic big green eyes
Alley-gator
She'll make you 'fraid 'em
She'll chew you up, ain't no lie
Listen hear
Alley-gator
With those hypnotic big green eyes
Alley Gator
She'll make you 'fraid 'em
She'll chew you up, ain't no lie
Alley-gator
Alley-gator
Alley-gator
Alley-gator
Alley-gator
Alley-gator
Alley-gator
Alley-gator
Crocodile
Crocodile
Alley-gator

Old 61s my number on the highway
Im turning up the vs on the airways
Im tuned into some bad-ass transactions
Its the only way to get my satisfaction

Cranked up all the way my tube is turning read
Got a pocked full off cornbread just call it
Antenna head

ZZ Top - A Fool For Your Stockings - lyrics

Is it you again outside,
Just banging on the front door?
You say you had enough,
Now you're coming' back for more,
But that's alright.
I said that that's alright.
I may not want to admit it,
I'm just a fool for your stockings i believe.
Now i don't mind when you send money
And bring your girlfriends with you,
But how could one be so thoughtless to try
And handle less than two?
But that's alright.
I said that that's alright, baby.
I may not want to admit it,
I'm just a fool for your stockings i believe.
Now i'm tellin' everybody
It seems too good to be true:
Sweet things can always get sweeter.
I know mine did, how about you?
Yes, it's alright.
I said, yes it is, that's alright.
I may not want to admit it,
I'm just a fool for your stockings i believe.

ZZ Top - Back Door Love Affair - lyrics

Got to have you baby,
Dont you say that you dont care.
Got to have you baby,
Dont you say that you dont care.
Any way you want it baby,
Ill settle for a back door love affair.
I call you on the telephone,
The party says that you aint there.
I call you on the telephone,
The party says that you aint there.
When a man asked whos callin,
I said, just tell em its a back door love affair.
