Lyrics:
Swing Party
Me and the boys were sittin’ here lookin’ grim
Wonderin’ what to do after we sank our swim
Girls don’t care, and there’s not much more to say
Pick up the phone, we’re comin’ on over to play

Here comes the band
And they’re gonna kick down the door
We’ve got ya and all we’ve got is a 50 feel
We’re sorry, didn’t mean to scare ya

Swing swing party
Swing swing party
Pick up your blues to go

Who's Been Sleepin'
Ever Been to the Yukon Billy?

That’s My Life
I like to take a girl to dine
We’d talk, and watch the movie one more time
I like to keep the simple things that I adore

I have my days, I’m free to roam
There are some nights I hate to be alone
To stay awake late into the night
Wonderin’ who she’s with tonight

I’m free, I can see
I’m right where I wanna be

Speak
Does it mean less if it’s never said at all
Do you think that I don’t care ‘cause I don’t call
Don’t you believe half of what you’ve heard
What good is a baby without hearin’ the word

Old Man
Old man push a little harder
Old man give a little further
Old man, leave a little longer
We could use a little stronger

Old man, leave it a little longer
Old man work a little more
Old man, leave it as it is

Easy on the Eyes
That girl, she’s easy on the eyes
She’s got hair so long and eyes that hypnotize

She looks so nice, she looks so fine
She’s got a sweet smile and I wanna make her mine

Midnight Swing
11:35 and I’m ready to live
Slick and fast, we’re ready to drive
Got my baby sittin’ on my hip
Well, hold on, here we go for the trip

What’s the Matter With Your Head?
Little old women and little old men
Always so kind and lonely again

If I Could Be That
So I told you so, I’d tell you once more
There’s only one thing I’d do that I adore

Who’s Been Sleepin’
Ever been to the Yukon, Billy?

That’s My Life
I like to take a girl to dine
We’d talk, and watch the movie one more time
I like to keep the simple things that I adore

I have my days, I’m free to roam
There are some nights I hate to be alone
To stay awake late into the night
Wonderin’ who she’s with tonight

I’m free, I can see
I’m right where I wanna be

I like to take a drive in a shiny new car
I like to see the lights of the city from afar
I like to sing along with the band
They’d all cheer, and I’d shake their hands

I like to ride the rails when the sun is low
I like to do what I wanna, whenever I go

Old Man
Old man push a little harder
Old man give a little further
Old man, leave a little longer
We could use a little stronger

Old man, leave it a little longer
Old man work a little more
Old man, leave it as it is

Old man now, later will you see
It’s just a matter of time

Easy on the Eyes
That girl, she’s easy on the eyes
That girl, she’s easy on the eyes
She’s got hair so long and eyes that hypnotize

She looks so nice, she looks so fine
She’s got a sweet smile and I wanna make her mine

The way she slips right in, oh so smooth
She crosses the room, well what a groove

She drives a Cadillac and it’s real slow
Well hold on daddy, watch her go!

Spank
(Chant) Spank! Spank!

Midnight Swing
11:35 and I’m ready to live
Slick and fast, we’re ready to drive
Got my baby sittin’ on my hip
Well, hold on, here we go for the trip

Midnight Swing
It’s a midnight thing
We’re gonna sing, well shake that thing

Got to the shack, started kickin’ them back
Pulled a chair, well started the stack
Look out baby, it’s a brand new day
Look out, I’ll be on my way

Now it’s 12:01, that’s the end
Now it’s time to say we’ll flee
They must be after me

What’s the Matter With Your Head?
Little old women and little old men
Always so kind and lonely again

What’s the matter with your head, boy
What’s the matter with your mind
What’s the matter with your head, boy
What did you think you would find?

If I Could Be That
So I told you so, I’d tell you once more
There’s only one thing I’d do that I adore
It seems so long ago now
What we saw, what we both know

I’d take the stars and the sky above
For a moment’s time that we love
