Lyrics for Americana Deluxe

Jump with my Baby 

Jump with my baby I wanna jump with my baby
and I don't mean maybe tonight. I wanna jump
with my baby and I don't mean maybe tonight I
wanna jump all night it's gonna be all right with
her.

I wanna swing with my baby and I don't mean
maybe tonight. I wanna swing with my baby
and I don't mean maybe tonight. I'm gonna
swing all night it's gonna be all right with her.

I'm gonna jump with my baby tonight l'm gonna
jump with my baby tonight l'm gonna jump all
night its gonna be alright with her.

Jumpin Jack 

When you hit the dance floor you gotta be
Jumpin Jack
Jump on in jump with your baby

Like a wild train rollin right down you track
Wow Wow you just can't stop it

Like a wild train rollin right down your track
Wow Wow watch it watch it

King of Swing 

When you feel your bones a shakin, and your
temperature is risen, and the groove begins to
move you, it's the King of Swing.... 'King of
Swing'

When you see those fires' burnin, and your
fever is a risin/An the drums begin a
poundin/It's the King of Swing...'King of
Swing'/'King of Swing'/'King of Swing'

Maddest Kind of Love

 The maddest kind of love...is a love you know is
wrong
It burns a hole right through your soul
And cuts you like a knife.

The maddest kind of love...is a love you know
won't last
It fills your heart with passion
And makes you lie about your past.

You know i speak from experience
I live it each day
It's something she does
It's something she'll say
It's the maddest kind of love.

The maddest kind of love...is a love just for the
thrill
It doesn't have a conscience
Only lives... for the kill

The maddest kind of love...is a love you know's a
lie
It leaves you feeling empty
To weak too cold to cry.

You know i speak from experience
I live it each day
It's something she does
It's something she'll say
It's the maddest kind of love.

Mambo Swing

 Swingin through the jungle
I have sailed the 7 sea's
King of the monkeys
and nothing bothers me
I wanna fly right through the sky
I wanna touch the moon
but I hear it call me
and I have to go back soon

Fires in the city
There was dancin in the streets
More than a scene
and mambo was the king
I wanna fly right back through time
Like a fever without care
and I hear it calling me
and I wanna take you there

Mr. Pinstriped Suit

 Now....Friends let me tell you about this cat that
I once met. Smooth talker...with an export
cigarette. I don't believe I ever saw him without
a cocktail in his hand, and no one swings as
hard to the big bad voodoo band. Now he
strolls through the city like a big ol' alley cat
with his pinstripe suit and a big bad voodoo
hat. I don't believe I ever saw him without a
kitten on his hand, and no one swings as hard
to the big bad voodoo band.

*Chorus* Hey Mr. Pinstripe Suit. Hey Mr. Hi De
Hi De Ho. Well I know you got the answers that
we all wanna know. Hey Mr. Wingtip Shoes.
Hey Mr. Always On The Go. Well I know you
got the answers that we all wanna know.

Please Baby 

Please Baby... Let's get it right
I don't think I can take it...one more night.
I know I love you, I love you, I love you as
though the stars are mine
So please Baby, show me that you are mine.

Please Baby...Let's not fight
I don't think I can take it...one more night.
I know I love you, I love you, I love you as
though the stars are mine
So please Baby, show me that you are mine.

Please Baby...Let's keep it right
I wanna make love to you baby
all through the night
I know I love you, I love you, I love you as
though the stars are mine
So please Baby, show me that you are mine.

So long fair well good bye

 So long my friends, farewell goodbye
I'd love to stay an play and sing for awhile,
but it's time to hit the road and say goodbye
So long farewell goodbye

Goodbye to my friends I'm glad you were here

It's time for us to go and get another beer
Well I like to see your smiling faces again
so goodbye my friends bye-bye

Thank you for the open invitation
your kind applause and adulation,
but look at the time lord we got to fly
so long farewell baby bye-bye

Hey there now friends, it's time to go,
but we'll return and do another show
When we come back drop in and say hi
So long farewell bye-bye

So long farewell baby bye-bye,
and now we're leaving with tears in our eyes
We'll be back soon so don't you cry
So long farewell bye-bye

You me and the bottle makes three tonight 

Hey Jack...I know what your thinking. That now's
as good as any to start drinking. Hey
Scotty...Yeah...What's it gonna be? A gin &
tonic sounds might mighty good to me.

Man I know I gotta go it's the same thing every
time, but I don't think another drinks' gonna
make me lose my mind. So I think about my
next drink, and it's you & me and the bottle
makes 3 tonight.

Well I know this cat named Mo. He wanders to
and fro. His and my favorite waterin' hole. I said
hey Mo, "how you doing, where have you
been?"
He said, "I've been fine with my whiskey, wine
and gin."

Man I know I gotta go it's the same thing every
time, but I don't think another drinks' gonna
make me lose my mind. So I think about my
next drink, and it's you & me and the bottle
makes 3 tonight.
