1. RIFF RAFF

Ya see it on television every day
Hear it on the radio
It ain't humid but it sure is hot
Down in Mexico
Boss man tryin' to tell me
Beginnin' of the end
Sa
Too late my friend.

Riff raff
It's good for a laugh
Riff raff
Go on and laugh yourself in half.

Now I'm the kinda guy that keeps his big mouth shut
It don't bother me
Somebody kickin' me when I'm up
Leave me in misery
I never shot nobody
Don't ever carry a gun
I ain't done nothin' wrong
I'm just havin' fun.

Riff raff
It's good for a laugh
Riff raff
Go on and laugh yourself in half.


2. PROBLEM CHILD

Fuck this

I am hot
And when i'm not
I'm cold as ice
Get outta my way
Just step aside
Or pay the price
What i want i take
What i don't i break
And i don't want you
With a flick of my knife
I can change your life
There's nothing you can do.

I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child
Yes I am
I'm a problem child
And i'm wild.

Make my stand
No man's land
On my own
Man in blue
It's up to you
The seed is sown
What i want i stash
What i don't i smash
And you're on my list
Dead or alive
Got a .45
And i never miss.

Oh, i'm a problem child
Ay, i'm a problem child
I'm a problem child
Just runnin' wild.

Just watch your step.

Every night
Street light
I drink my booze
Some run
Some fight
But i win, they lose
What i need i like
What i don't i fight
And i don't like you
Say bye bye
While your still alive
Your time is through.

Cause i'm a problem child
I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child
Problem child
I'm a problem child
And my mother hates me
I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child.

(Problem child).
I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child

(Problem child).


3. HELL AIN'T A BAD PLACE TO BE

Hey you

Sometimes I think this woman is kinda hot
Sometimes I think this woman is sometimes not
Puts me down, fool 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"
All these disillusions and confusion
Make me wanna cry
Oh, the shame, you played 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.

This is the night, turn 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
I said, hell ain't no bad place to be
Hell ain't no bad place to be
Hell ain't no bad place to be e to be
Hell ain't no bad place to be.


4. ROCK'N ROLL DAMNATION

They say that you play too loud
Well baby that's tough
They say that you got too much
Can't get enough
They tell you that you look a fool
Baby I'm a fool for you
They say that your mind's diseased, shaky stuff
's a rock 'n' roll damnation
Ma's own whippin' boy
Rock 'n' roll damnation
Take a chance while you still got the choice.

You say that you want respect
Honey for what
For everything that you done for me
Thanks a lot
Get up off your bended knees
You can set your mind at ease
My temperature's runnin' hot
I been waitin' all night
For a bite of what you got.

It's a rock 'n' roll damnation
Ma's own whippin' boy
Rock 'n' roll damnation
Take a chance while you still got the choice.

It's a hard life

Damnation, they're putting you down
Damnation, all over town
Damnation, Cause you're way outta reach
Living on the street you gotta practice what you preach
An it's a rock 'n' roll damnation
Ma's own whippin' boy
Rock 'n' roll damnation
Take a chance while you still got the choice.

Damnation, you left a happy home
Damnation, To live on your own
Damnation, You wanna live in sin
it's a rock 'n' roll
Damnation, Just a bundle of joy
Damnation, you're a toy for a boy
Damnation, you got the dollars in your eye
Always chasin' that pie in the sky
Rock 'n' roll damnation.


5. DOG EAT DOG

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?

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 in between
Up you win, down you lose
It's anybody's game.

Hey, hey, hey
Every dog has his day
It's a dog eat dog
Dog eat dog.

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?"

Hey, hey, hey
Every dog has his day
It's a dog eat dog
Dog eat dog.

Dog eat dog.


6. BAD BOY BOOGIE

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
Do the bad boy boogie
Bad boy boogie
Bad boy boogie.


7. THE JACK

She gave me the queen
She gave me the king
She was wheelin' and dealin'
Just doin' her thing
She was holdin' a pair
But I had to try
Her deuce was wild
But my ace was high
But how was I to know
That she'd been dealt with before
Said she'd never had a full house
But I should have known
From the tattoo on her left leg
And the garter on her right
She'd have the card to bring me down
If she played it right.

She's got the jack
She's got the jack
She's got the jack
She's got the jack
She's got the jack
She's got the jack
She's got the jack
She's got the jack
She's got the jack, jack,
jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
She's got the jack.

Poker face was her name
Poker face was her nature
Poker straight was her game
If she knew she could get you
She play'd 'em fast
And she play'd 'em hard
She could close her eyes
And feel every card
But how was I to know
That she'd been shuffled before
Said she'd never had a royal flush
But I should have known
That all the cards were comin'
From the bottom of the pack
And if I'd known what she was dealin' out
I'd have dealt it back.

She's got the jack
She's got the jack
She's got the jack, and who knows what else?
She's got the jack, yeah, yeah
She's got the jack
She's got the jack
She's got the jack
She's got the jack
She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
She's got the jack
She's got the jack
She's got the jack, ooh, was a bad deal, jack
She gave me the jack, hey
She's got the jack, she's got the jack, she's got the jack
Ooh, can't ya tell?
She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
You never know, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, and it hurts
She's got the jack
She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
She's got the jack
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Oooooh.

Thank you, thank you
Thank you people, thank you, thank you
I'm glad you like the show, yes, thank you very much, folks
Goodnight and God bless.


8. HIGH VOLTAGE

Well, you ask me 'bout the clothes I wear
And you ask me why I grow my hair
And you ask me why I'm in a band
I dig doin' one night stands
And you wanna see me do my thing
All you gotta do is plug me into high.

I said high
High voltage rock 'n' roll
High voltage rock 'n' roll
High voltage, high voltage
High voltage rock 'n' roll
Rock 'n' roll.

You ask me why I like to dance
And you ask me why I like to sing
And you ask me why I like to play
I got to get my kicks some way
And you ask me what I'm all about
Come and let me hear you shout high.

I said high
High voltage rock 'n' roll
High voltage rock 'n' roll
High voltage, high voltage
High voltage rock 'n' roll
Rock 'n' roll.

I said high, I said high
Waaaah!
High voltage rock 'n' roll
High voltage rock 'n' roll
High voltage, high voltage
High voltage rock 'n' roll.

Spotlight, put the lights out, happy hour
High voltage rock 'n' roll
High voltage rock 'n' roll
Wine, women and song
High voltage, high voltage
Wine women and song
High voltage rock 'n' roll.


9. WHOLE LOTTA ROSIE

Wanna tell you a story
'Bout a woman I know
When it comes to lovin'
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.

You're a whole lotta woman
A whole lotta woman
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
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
Whoo, to my surprise
Rosie never stops.

She was a whole lotta woman
Whole lotta woman
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
A whole lotta woman
Hey, ay, yeah.

You're a whole lotta woman
A whole lotta woman
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
You're a whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta wo..ma..ma..ma..ma..man, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta woman.

Whole lotta woman.


10. LET THERE BE ROCK

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 sound, and there was sound
Let there be light, and there was light
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
And the music was good and the music was loud
And the singer turned and he said to the crowd.

Let there be rock, aid to the crowd
Let there be rock.
