1. EXPRESSWAY TO YOUR HEART

[On the expressway to your heart
That expressway that's the best way
That expressway to your heart
That espressway that's the best way]

I've been trying to get to you for a long time
Cause constantly youve been on my mind
I was thinking bout a short cut that I could take
But I found I made a mistake

(Chorus)
I was wrong
It took too long
I got caught in a rush hour
Fellows started to shower
You with love and affection
Now you won't look at my direction

On the expressway to your heart
That expressway that's the best way

At five o'clock its much too crowded (too crowded)
Much too crowded (too crowded)
Much too crowded (too crowded)
Too crowded for me
Couldn't get through to you baby
Oh, its too crowded

Well there're too many in back of me
And they're all tryin' to get in front of me
I was thinking I saw a road up ahead
But I saw a stoplight instead

(Chorus)

On the expressway to your heart
That expressway that's the best way

(Chorus)

On the expressway to your heart
That expressway that's the best way
That expressway to your heart
That espressway that's the best way

At five oclock it's too crowded (too crowded)
Much too crowded (too crowded)
Much too crowded (too crowded)
Too crowded
Too crowded for me
Just couldn't get through baby
Oh, oh, oh, much too crowded
Oh, oh, oh, much too crowded

3. I DON'T KNOW

Sick and tired by the way you do
Good time papa gonna poison you
Sprinkle goofer dust all around your bed
Wake up one of these days, find your own self dead
She said you shouldn't say that
I said What did I say to make you mad this time baby?
She said Umm...
I don't know
My oh my oh my
She said I don't know but my baby's holding down

The woman I love has got devil in her jaw
Clothes she's wearing made out of the best of cloth
She can take 'em and wash 'em, put 'em upside a wall
She can throw 'em out a window, pick 'em up a little before the fall
Sometimes I think you got your habits on
She said You shouldn't say that
I said What did I say to piss you off this time baby?
She said Umm...
I don't know, my oh my, I don't know
But my baby's holding down

My momma told me, my momma sat down and cried
She said you're too young to have as many woman as you got
I looked at my mother dear, didn't even crack a smile
Said If woman don't kill me I don't mind dying
The woman I love, I want to wait for last
The woman I love, I have all class
Thought I warned you baby, a long time ago
Better watch your step or I'm going to have to let you go
She said you shouldn't say that

I said Baby
You know when you bend over I see every bit of Christmas
And when you bend back I'm looking right into the new year
She said Honey, you know I gave up cigarettes for my new year's resolution
But I didn't give up smoking
I said Woman, you going to walk a mile for a Camel
Or are you going to make like Mr Chesterfield and satisfy?
She said That all depends on what your packing
Regular or kingsize
Then she pulled out my Jim Beam, and to her surprise
It was every bit as hard as my Canadian Club
I said What now you got to say baby?
She said Umm...

I don't know
My oh my oh my
I don't know
But my baby's holding down


4. SHE CAUGHT THE KATY

She caught the katy
And left me a mule to ride
She caught the katy
And left me a mule to ride
Now my baby caught the katy
Left me a mule to ride
The train pulled out
I swung on behind
Crazy bout her
That hard headed woman of mine

Man, my baby's long
Great gosh almighty my baby's tall
You know my baby's long
Great gosh almighty my baby's tall
Yeah my baby she's long
My baby she's tall
She's sleepin with her head in the kitchen
And her feet's out in the hall
Crazy bout her
That hard headed woman of mine

Well I love my baby
She's so fine
But I wish she'd come and see me some time
She don't believe in our love, ah
Look whatta hole I'm in
She don't believe what Im sayin
Kid look whatta shape I'm in
Huh-huh

She caught the katy
And left me a mule to ride
She caught the katy
And left me a mule to ride
Well my baby caught the katy
Left me a mule to ride
The train pulled out
I swung on behind
Crazy bout that hard headed woman
Hard headed woman of mine

9. 'B' MOVIE BOXCAR BLUES

Caught a ride into South Dakota
With two girls in a light blue Desoto
One's name was Jane, the other was plain
But they both had racing motors
Next I caught a ride with a gamblers wife
Lay down, she had a brand new Rambler
She parked on the other side of town
She layed the Rambler down
She said she could dig if I'd knew her

(Chorus)
Doing my best to get back to you
Ain't nothing I'd rather do
Look for me Sunday, gonna be there honey
Something special just for you
Special just for you

Made a truck stop, toothpick and water
Got a ride from a fruit pickers daughter
Drove her through the night, let the fruit just right
Said All I could eat for a quarter

Next, hopped a train with a hobo woman
Said she's from Texas too
The way that she did, what she did, when she did what she did to me
made me think of you
Hey honey made me think of you

(Chorus)

Hey honey something special just for you


10. FLIP, FLOP AND FLY

Well now when I get the blues, gonna get me a rockin' chair
Well now when I get the blues, gonna get me a rockin' chair
When the blues overtake me, gonna rock right away from here

Now when I get lonesome I get on the telephone
Now when I get lonesome I get on the telephone
Well, I call my baby, tell her I'm on my way back home

Well, flip, flop & fly
I don't care if I die
Flip, flop & fly
I don't care if I die
Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye

Give me one last kiss; hold it a long, long time
Give me one last kiss; hold it a long, long time
Well, hold that kiss 'til I feel it in my head like wine

Well, here come my baby, flashin' a new gold tooth
Well, here come my baby, flashin' a new gold tooth
Well, she's so small she can mambo in a pay phone booth

Well, flip, flop & fly
I don't care if I die
Flip, flop & fly
I don't care if I die
Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye

Lou Marini!

Well, like a Mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stump
Well, like a Mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stump
I got so many women I don't know which way to jump

Well, flip, flop & fly
I don't care if I die
Flip, flop & fly
I don't care if I die
Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye
