Cruise On Out
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well that cat you will be payin',
You ought to make you there,
When that drummer hits the rim shot,
It almost busts the snare.
You put on your cat clothes,
And I will put on mine,
Together pretty babe,
We're gonna cruise on down the line.
Come on and cruise on out with me,
Won't you cruise on out with me.
Well that cat I will be paying,
C'mon and get your share,
I've got transportation,
And I can get you there.
Well I know your daddy's anxious,
That you told a lie,
I guess he's goin' to blow his stack,
If you don't come home on time.
Come on and cruise on out with me,
Won't you cruise on out with me.
Yeah...
Well this feelin' I will pick it,
Just as long as you will stay,
The boys in the band will play all night,
If they would have their way.
If you want to dress up to the night,
And look like something else,
I'm goin' to put on my alligator shoes,
I'll go out to play..
Come on cruise on out with me,
Won't you cruise on out with me.
Well, the fat man plays that upright,
Freeze you at the knees,
This band's in full control,
of 37 and one half keys.
In this full scale commotion,
The place will never drop,
You better leave town gracefully,
If you're too pooped to pop.
You better leave town gracefully,
If you're too stuped to stop.
Come on cruise on out with me,
Well, won't you cruise on out with me.
Well that cat you will be payin',
You ought to make you there,
When that drummer hits the rim shot,
It almost busts the snare.
You put on your cat clothes,
And I will put on mine,
Together pretty babe,
We're gonna step on down the line.
Won't you cruise on out with me,
Come on, cruise on out with me.
Won't you cruise on out,
Cruise on out,
Cruise on out with me.
Won't you cruise on out,
Cruise on out,
Cruise on out,
Cruise on out with me.
Come on cruise on out,
Cruise on out,
Cruise on out,
Cruise on out with me.
Awwwhhhh...
