Back To Your Cages- 4:30 
  (M. Katon)


We let you run and now you’re out of control
Your day is done it’s the end of the show
You low down dogs just don’t know when to quit
We’re reelin’ you in this is as far as you get

Chorus
Back, back, back to your cages! X4

You spread your dirt stinckin’ up the place
We’re gonna blow you to Hell – send you to outer space
You dirty dogs got the rabid disease
Yeah … we gonna whup ya till you’re down on your knees

Chorus
Spoken: “Now get back to your cages”

Solo – Chorus

We cut you slack so you had your fun
But now you in our sites if I was you I’d run
You’ve made a mistake our bite is worse than our bark
We’re lockin’ the door put you back in the dark

Chorus … out


On The Prowl For A Hoochie MaMa - 6:11 
  (M. Katon)


I pulled my boots on, got my wad stuffed down my pants
I slapped some Brute on, ya can’t leave nothin’ to chance
My bad machine is fired up, waitin’ to be thrown into gear
I got my edge on, the competition’s got somethin’ to fear

Chorus (A)
I’m on the prowl for a Hoochie MaMa
On the prowl for a party girl thrill
I’m on the prowl for a Hoochie MaMa
Baby you might fit the bill

I’m on the hunt now, even if it takes all night
I keep on trollin’ till I find me one that works just right
Now are you a wild one, a crazy party girl?
Come on with me mama, I wanna give you a whirl
Baby let me give you a whirl

Chorus (A)

Chorus (B)
I’m on the prowl for a Hoochie Mama
On the prowl for a wild one tonight
I’m on the prowl for a Hoochie Mama
Baby and you look just right … come on now!

Night after night you can find me out on the prowl
On the trail of some Hoochie Mama
I catch the scent and hear me howl
Like a hound dog gone crazy, there’s one thing that I’ve got to find
When I track down a Hoochie Mama, you oughta see this boy lose his mind
You oughta see this boy lose his mind!

Chorus (A)
Chorus (B)

I’m on the prowl for a Hoochie Mama, on the prowl for that party girl thrill
On the prowl for a Hoochie Mama, I bet that dirty hoochie could kill – come on Hoochie Mama!




Diablo Boogie - 5:21 
  (M. Katon)


It was the midnight hour I was creepin’ around
Crawled down to the swamp, that’s where the deal went down
I conjured him, he came to me
With fire in his breath he said, “boy I’m gonna show you how the boogie should be”

Chorus
Diablo Boogie - play it loud
Diablo Boogie - boy play it proud
Diablo Boogie - play it strong
Diablo Boogie - all night long
Diablo Boogie - play it with fire
Diablo Boogie - don’t ever tire
Diablo Boogie - boy till it hurt
Diablo Boogie - down in the dirt

He grabbed my guitar and right before my eyes
He hit an evil lick, lightning shot out of the skies
Then came the thunder, the moon turned a fire blue
He gave me back that guitar
And said, “Now boy you know what to do”

Chorus

If you’ve got the nerve, some full moon night
Just conjure him up, he’ll show you right
He’ll put the hoodoo on ya, brand ya with his song
Your guitar’s gonna burn like lightnin’ all night long

Chorus



Need It Awful Bad - 6:49 
  (M. Katon)


Ain’t got no cash, can’t rub a dime
Can’t pay attention, not even on time
Everybody wants some coin and man that’s dough that I ain’t got
They want it right now and they want a lot!
I owe everybody man even the Devil is due
Yeah well he’s just gonna have to wait
‘cause I owe God too!

Chorus
Now I don’t need money I ain’t ever had
But the folks I owe it to need it awful bad!

They turned off my lights man they’re shuttin’ off the gas
They took back my car, ‘cause I let the payments blow on past
The bank keeps on callin man my phone’s ringin’ off the wall
My checks keep on bouncing like a NBA ball
Bill collectors are tryin’ to track me down
Yeah, but I’m getting pretty good at not bein’ found

Chorus

Everybody and their brother poundin’ on my door!
They say, “ gimme your money man!” they want more and more!
Even my kids keep on naggin me and my wife does too
Yeah it seems they need a lot of cash for all the things they wanna do!
Around my house it’s a show down, just like that movie ‘High Noon’
My wife she’s gonna shoot me if I don’t get rich real soon!

Chorus



Rock ‘n’ Roll Man - 5:21 
  (M. Katon)


Rock ‘n’ Roll Man eat all his meat raw
Rock ‘n’ Roll Man pick guitar with a bear claw
Rock ‘n’ Roll Man can conjure evil
Rock ‘n’ Roll Man crazy as Knievel
Rock ‘n’ Roll Man got all the cool licks
Rock ‘n’ Roll Man got all the fine chicks
Rock ‘n’ Roll Man tough as Daniel Boone
Rock ‘n’ Roll Man wild as Keith Moon
Rock ‘n’ Roll Man don’t ever tire, he can burn all night like whiskey on fire

Rock ‘n’ Roll Man locked in high gear
Rock ‘n’ Roll Man run on whiskey and beer
Rock ‘n’ Roll Man in the wired condition
Rock ‘n’ Roll Man in the cocked position
Rock ‘n’ Roll Man ride a motorcycle
Rock ‘n’ Roll Man Jerry Lee disciple
Rock ‘n’ Roll Man drink Muddy Waters
Rock ‘n’ Roll Man chase all your daughters
Rock ‘n’ Roll Man take it all the way, he can roar all night ‘till the break of day

Solo
… Yeah Rock ‘n’ Roll Man like to lick her washer
Rock ‘n’ Roll Man like to rub it off her
Rock ‘n’ Roll Man like to shredder bagger
Rock ‘n’ Roll Man red white blue flag her
Rock ‘n’ Roll Man take it past the red line
Chuggle it down like a jug o’ cheap wine
Rock ‘n’ Roll Man is a real live wire – he’ll blow your amplifier!

Rock ‘n’ Roll Man, yeah Rock ‘n’ Roll Man!



Whiskey Hill - 5:10 
  (M. Katon)


I’m headin’ on up Whiskey Hill
I’m gonna climb to the top and drink my fill
Hellfire burnin’ in the air
Yeah…but she broke my will, I just don’t care
Misery pourin’ down like rain, but way up there
I can ease my pain, on Whiskey Hill, yeah on Whiskey Hill

She left one year ago today
She said I killed our love, that I’d have to pay
Killin’ me dead became her goal
Yeah now Whiskey Hill can claim my soul
She drained my heart nothin’ left to spill
I’m gonna fill it back up, yeah up on Whiskey Hill, way up on Whiskey Hill!

Well I’m climbin’ Whiskey Hill tonight
The Devil’s dancin’ ‘round in the blue moon light
He’ll raise his glass and wish me well
Yeah, then put his arm around me on our way to Hell!
On Whiskey Hill I’ll make my stand
I’ll go down drinkin’ the Devil’s brand on Whiskey Hill, way up on Whiskey Hill!



In The Land Of Rock ‘n’ Roll - 5:53

In The Land Of Rock ‘n’ Roll, we got pimp daddy suits
In The Land Of Rock ‘n’ Roll, we got cheap blue jeans

In The Land Of Rock ‘n’ Roll, we got rebels without a cause
In The Land Of Rock ‘n’ Roll, you mess with us we’ll jack your jaws!
In The Land Of Rock ‘n’ Roll, we got guns to blow you away 
In The Land Of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Dirty Harry says, “Make my day!”
In The Land Of Rock ‘n’ Roll, we got crack cocaine
In The Land Of Rock ‘n’ Roll, some crystal meth can ease your pain
In The Land Of Rock ‘n’ Roll, yeah in The Land Of Rock ‘n’ Roll

Bridge (Spoken)
Yeah gimme a couple them cheeseburgers and some greasy fries
McFood, make mine ‘Super Size’ and don’t forget the apple pie it’s so sweet
It’ll go real good with my big ol’ gob o’ meat

You know we dig our Harleys and our Hemis too
But a big block Chevy or V8 Ford will do
We like to roll ‘em out on a route called 66
It’s a real cool place to get your kicks

Solo

In The Land Of Rock ‘n’ Roll, we got Bad Machines
In The Land Of Rock ‘n’ Roll, we got refried beans
In The Land Of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Jack Daniels to get us drunk

Dirty Thang - 4:58 
 (M. Katon)


Girl, shake that thang for me 
Bring that dirty thang real close so I can see
Girl, shake that thang on down
Shake that dirty thang ‘till my jaw hits the ground

Shake that dirty thang, that dirty thang for me
Yeah shake that dirty thang, that dirty thang for me

Girl, shake that thang all night
Your dirty thang sure makes me feel all right
Girl, your dirty thang’s so fine
It’s all that ever occupies my mind

Chorus – Oh yeah come on shake it!

Girl, your dirty thang’s so nice
If ya shake it once you’ve got to shake it twice
Girl, shake that thang for me
When you shake that thang I just can’t let you be

Chorus X2
Yeah, come on shake it girl!



Luv A Dawg - 6:52 
 (M. Katon)


Luv A Dawg, I chase my tail where ever it goes
Luv A Dawg, I chase my tail where ever it goes
I got my nose right to the ground honey
And it’s leadin’ me right to your back door – yeah

Luv A Dawg, I lay around sleepin’ all day
Luv A Dawg, I lay around sleepin’ all day
You just rattle my chain and gut bowl honey
I pick up my bone and I’m ready to play
Yeah Luv A Dawg…Luv A Dawg

Luv A Dawg, I’m just waitin’ on your porch
Luv A Dawg, I’m just waitin’ on your back porch
If you let me lick you honey, you’ll be pantin’ fire,
hotter than an ol’ blow torch – yeah
Luv A Dawg, yeah Luv A Dawg baby!



Motor Cycle Blues - 3:20 
 (M. Katon)


She finally drove me crazy, I could certify as nuts
She stole my motorcycle, ripped my soul right through my guts
Last night I was passed out, my brain was on re-load
She fired up my Shovel Head and took off down the road

Chorus
I’ve got the blues, yeah I got ‘em bad
Motorcycle Blues

Yeah I miss my motorcycle, miss the way that it makes me feel
From the chrome all on the motor, to the rubber wrapped around the wheel
Rollin on the highway, finest thing you ever saw
If I ever catch up to that woman
I’ll lay down a little biker law

Chorus 
Solo

I think I see my motorcycle, yonder up ahead
I hope that woman knows, she’s just as good as dead
You don’t touch my motorcycle, ‘cause it ain’t yours to use
Dangerous is the man whose got the Motorcycle Blues and I got ‘em!

Chorus
