Kiss me baby

Hold me baby

Carl Perkins - Blue Suede Shoes (1956)



Carl Perkins
"Blue Suede Shoes" (1956 Sun Records)


LYRICS:


Well, it's one for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go.

But don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my Blue suede shoes.

Well, you can knock me down,
Step in my face,
Slander my name
All over the place.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of them shoes
Don't you step on my Blue suede shoes.
Well you can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

You can burn my house,
Steal my car,
Drink my liquor
From an old fruit jar.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
Well you can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

Well, it's one for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to get ready,
Now go, go, go.

but don't you step on my blue suede shoes,
well you can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

Well it's a blue blue blue suede shoes
Blue blue blue suede shoes
Blue blue blue suede shoes
Blue blue blue suede shoes
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

ALBUM:


LYRICS:


You make me feel so young
You make me feel like spring has sprung
Every time I see you grin
I'm such a happy an individual

The moment that you speak
I want to run and play hide-and-seek
I want to go and bounce the moon
Just like a big toy balloon

You and I, we are just like a couple of tots
Running along the meadow
Snaching up all those forget to be nots

You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung and a wonderful spring to be sprung

And even when I'm old and gray
I'm gonna feel the way I do today
'Cause you make me feel so young

You make me young
You make me feel spring sprung
Every time I see you grin
I'm such a happy individual

The moment that you speak
I want to run and play hide-and-seek
I'd like to go and bounce the moon
Just like a big balloon

Peopl eye for you and I
We are just like a couple of tots
Crashing along the meadow
Open up all those forget to be nots

You make me young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
And the bells to be rung
And a wonderful thing to be done

Yeah and even when I'm old and gray
I'm gonna feel the way I do today
'Cause you make me feel so, yeah when I feel so
You make feel so young today, you make feel so young

Frank Sinatra - I've Got You Under My Skin (1956) TV Live



Frank Sinatra
"I've Got You Under My Skin"
Album: Songs for Swingin' Lovers (1956 Capitol)

ALBUM:



LYRICS:

(Cole Porter 1936)

I've got you under my skin.
I've got you deep in the heart of me.
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me.
I've got you under my skin.
I'd tried so not to give in.
I said to myself: this affair never will go so well.
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well
I've got you under my skin?

I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear:
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?
Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
But each time that I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.

[Musical interlude]

I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats - how it yells in my ear:
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?
Why not use your mentality - step up, wake up to reality?
But each time I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop just before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
Yes, I've got you under my skin.
