song list next song ZZ Top: Letter R ZZ Top: Greatest Hits ZZ Top: Eliminator Sharp Dressed Man
(Beard/Gibbons/Hill)
Clean shirt, new shoes
and I don't know where I am goin' to.
Silk suit, black tie,
I don't need a reason why.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
coz every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

Gold watch, diamond ring,
I ain't missin' a single thing.
And cufflinks, stick pin,
when I step out I'm gonna do you in.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
coz every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

Top coat, top hat,
I don't worry coz my wallet's fat.
Black shades, white gloves,
lookin' sharp and lookin' for love.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
coz every girl grazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.
song list next song previous song ZZ Top: One Foot In The Blues ZZ Top: Degüello She Loves My Automobile
(Beard/Gibbons/Hill)
She don't love me, she love my automobile.
She don't love me, she love my automobile.
Well she would do anything just to slide behind the wheel.

She said what's it gonna take for you to lay your top on down?
She said what's it gonna take for you to lay your top on down?
I said honey why don't you ask me when we get to the outskirts of town.

Well now she don't care if I'm stoned or sloppy drunk.
Well she don't care if I'm stoned or sloppy drunk,
Long as she got the keys and there's a spare wheel in her trunk.
song list next song previous song ZZ Top: Six Pack ZZ Top: Tejas She's A Heartbreaker
(Gibbons/Hill/Beard)
She used to drive a beat up pickup
Down around San Antone
Stealin' the heart of every guy in town
Includin' the one I own
But this sweet young thing of seventeen
Would sting you with the lovesick blues
Just a blonde haired blue eyed picture of sin
Lookin' for someone to use

She's a lover 'n fighter, she's a wild bull rider
And I'm wonderin' why she left me such a long time ago
She's a heartbreaker, she's a love taker
She can break a heart and take all the love she needs

Well I heard she got down in Beaumont
And she wound up in El Paso
She was tuff as a boot and thin as a rail
And she could step to the cotton eyed Joe
If you run across this flagrant fuzzy
Slip in and get her while you can
Cause before too long she'll be good as gone
And runnin' with another man

She's a lover 'n fighter, she's a wild bull rider
And I'm wonderin' why she left me such a long time ago
She's a heartbreaker, she's a love taker
She can break a heart and take all the love she needs
song list next song previous song ZZ Top: Rhythmeen She's Just Killing Me
(Beard/Gibbons/Hill)
Everything about her was natural
Everything about her was cool
But I'm a little partial for beautiful girls
Even if they blood runs blue

I think I see her
I think I want her
I think I love her
She's just killing me
I think she's killing me

Her castanets are enormous
Her bongo beat absolute
And when she doin' midnite performances
She's got a secret somethin' to boot

I think I see her
I think I want her
Oh, I think I love her
But she's just killing me
I think she's killing me

Miss Satanic Pandemonia
Don't get any lower or slower
What you see is what you get conmigo
And the bonus of an albino boa

I think I see her
I think I want her
Yes, I think I love her
She's just killing me
She's just killing me
(That's some time I had)

I think I see her
I know I love her
Yes, I might love her
She's just killing me
She wanna be killing me
(Suck my blood)
song list next song previous song ZZ Top: Six Pack ZZ Top: Tres Hombres Shiek
(Gibbons/Hill)
I met a shiek from Mozambique
who led me to the Congo.
He dreamed to go to Mexico
and sample a burrito.

My tempature had risen again,
it must have been a hundred and ten.

Under the oaks I was telling some jokes
and thinkin' I had it made-
Gettin' on with the folks, havin' some Coke
and coolin' off in the shade.

My tempature had risen again,
and it must have been a hundred and ten.

I took a boat that couldn't float
to Rio de Janeiro.
So with my scuba I swam to Cuba
but I'll be gone tomorrow.

My tempature had risen again,
it must have been a hundred and ten.
song list next song previous song ZZ Top: XXX Sinpusher
(Beard/Gibbons/Hill)
I dropped out of society
Fell by the wayside so to speak
Quit my job I'm a lazy slob
Never lift a finger 'cept for my heart throb
I'm a sinpusher, hangin' on the on the D. L.
Down low
I'm just a sinpusher, kinda like heaven or hell
How low can you go

I thought I bid on everything I'm wanted by the law
I just want a little bit, naw I guess I want it all
I'm a sinpusher, hangin' on the D. L.
Down low
I'm a sinpusher, kinda like heaven or hell
How low can you go
Yeah,

I like my big fat back, I like my ya ya thin
I like to push it down into the land of sin
Sinpusher like a-hangin on the D. L.
Down low
I'm a sinpusher kinda like heaven or hell
How low can you go
I'm a sinpusher hangin' on the D. L.
How low.... push, push
I'm a sinpusher kinda like heaven or hell
How low can you go
song list next song previous song ZZ Top: Greatest Hits ZZ Top: Afterburner Sleeping Bag
(Beard/Gibbons/Hill)
When it's cold outside and you want to sleep in
go for a pallet that's so nice and thin.
Zip it on around while it's on the ground,
spread it out and lay it on down.
Slip inside my sleeping bag,
slip inside my sleeping bag.

You're afraid of the dark, baby, no need to be shy.
We'll talk about some lovin' while we look at the sky.
Don't be hesitating, it'll be alright,
we'll tuck it in until it's clean out of sight.
Slip inside my sleeping bag,
slip inside my sleeping bag.

Let's go out to Egypt 'cause it's in the plan,
sleep beside the pharoahs in the shifting sand.
We'll look at some pyramids and check out some heads.
Oh, we'll whip out our mattress 'cause there ain't no beds.
Slip inside my sleeping bag,
slip inside my sleeping bag.

(Beard/Gibbons/Hill)
I say Hey! Snappy Kakkie!
Do you wanna play?
I say Hey! Snappy Kakkie!
I said whatcha' say!
The water she is nice we can steal away
They'll never know we're gone 'til the break 'o day
Come on! Come on!

I say Hey Snappy Kakkie
Did they talk to you today?
I say Hey Snappy Kakkie
Did you see it their way?
The moon she is high, we must leave tonite
We must get away, we will join the fight
Come on! Come on!

I say Hey Snappy Kakkie!
Did our brothers stay
I say Hey Snappy Kakkie
Will our sisters pay
Does it really matter of the friends we lost
It doesn't really matter cause their souls were lost
Come on! Come on!

I say Hey! Snappy Kakkie!
Do you wanna play?
I say Hey! Snappy Kakkie!
I say Hey! watcha' say!
The water she is nice we can steal away
They'll never know we're gone til the break 'o day
So come on!
song list next song previous song ZZ Top: Six Pack ZZ Top: First Album Squank
(Gibbons/Ham/Hill)
Woman, grab your children, run and hide.
Don't let it catch up with you.
You gotta fight it to stay alive,
and if it gets you, man, you're through.

It smells so rotten and rank.
Well, everybody calls it the squank.

It's sick, depressin, gettin' bigger all the time.
Don't help it any way you can.
It's grey and brown and sometimes lime
and it's spreadin' all over the land.

And soon we'll be all breathin' out of tanks
if somethin' ain't done about the squank.

The meanest thing the world's ever bred
by me and you and my kinfold too.
A monster can't live unless it's fed,
and it's being fed by me and you.
And soon it's gonna leave the world blank,
and we'll all be erased by the squank.
song list next song previous song ZZ Top: Six Pack ZZ Top: First Album (Somebody Else Been) Shaking Your...
(Gibbons)
Well, I'm tryin', yes I'm tryin just to get a line on you
Where you been?
But I'm havin' trouble puttin' a find on you
I'm wearin' thin
Somebody else been shaking your tree.
Supposed to saving all that stuff for me.

You been hidin', yes your're hidin', you been stayin' out on me.
Sneakin' 'round.
Me and you ain't workin' out just like we oughta be.
You've got me down.
Somebody else been shaking your tree.
Supposed to be saving all that stuff for me.

I'm tired of foolin' around with you, and sittin' here alone.
It's on my mind.
I think it's time for me to find a new tree of my own.
It's plantin' time.
Anything you wanna do is cool with me.
I don't care who shakes your tree.
song list next song previous song ZZ Top: Afterburner Stages
(Beard/Gibbons/Hill)
It's a fine time to fall in love with you,
I ain't got a single thing to do.
It happened before I knew what was going on.
I fell out and knew that I was gone.
Stages keep on changing,
stages rearranging love.

Then you left me standing all alone,
I couldn't even get you on the phone.
Were you just confused and didn't know
if you should stay or if you had to go?
Stages keep on changing,
stages rearranging love.

Now you're back and say you're gonna stay.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
Tell me it's for real and let me know
why does lovin' have to come and go.
Stages keep on changing,
stages rearranging love.
song list ZZ Top: Letter T previous song ZZ Top: One Foot In The Blues ZZ Top: Six Pack ZZ Top: Rio Grande Mud Sure Got Cold After The Rain Fell
(Gibbons)
Rain fell this mornin', make me feel so bad
on account of my baby walked off with another man.
Like takin' eyesight from the blind man and money from the poor
that woman took my lovin' and walked on out that door.
And it sure got cold after the rain fell,
not from the sky, from my eye.

Somebody, can you tell me just what make a man feel this way?
Like river without its water, like night without a day.
And it sure 'nuff got cold after the rain fell,
not from the sky but from my eye.

If you're home early in the mornin' you hear that rain to fall,
with thunderbolts and lightning the wind begins to call.
Your worry's superficial 'cause you slept on through the night
but stormy weather keep you wond'rin' if ev'rything's all right.
And it sure 'nuff got cold after the rain fell,
not from the sky but from my eye,
not from the sky, from my eye.
