She turns on her radio, listens to the late night show.
My teeny-bopper, show stopper really loves that rock and roll.
Well I knew I wasn ’t dreaming when I heard the music in my sleep.
And I nearly turned her out til I she said in a voice real sweet.
Chorus
She said,
Do ya love me, do ya, do ya, do ya
Do ya love me, do ya, do ya, do ya.
Do ya love me.
Do you love me or not?
Late in the evening I turned the key ands opened up the door.
To my surprise there were thirty people rocking on the floor.
She was dancing in the lamp light, showing everybody how to move.
And before I could speak, she said in a voice real sweet.
Chorus
Break
With every day that passes I wonder if she’ll ever change.
My teeny-bopper show stopper really acting something strange.
Well I know its kind of funny but I’m thinking baby I don’t care.
Cos she can turn me honey every time she whispers in my ear.

Like the A-side, this track was pre-recorded by session musicians with MUD’s vocal recorded for this release.
Living in the morning, loving in the evening,
Dance in the midnight sun.
Get up in the morning; better get a feeling,
Gotta get the footwork done.
Dance with your mamma; dance with your papa,
Dance with your only son.
Hanging on your footsteps, living with your upsets,
Burn in the midnight sun.
Ah, come on burn.
Chorus
Tango, tango, where did the man go,
He was gonna take you some.
Tango, tango, where did the man go.
Tango’s got him on the run.
Caught by a fooler, me a little leaver,
Never thought we’d need to run.
I’m no deceiver, tango believer,
Doing what must be done.
Ah, come on burn.
Chorus
I’m no deceiver,
Tango believer,
Doing what must be done.

Released June 1973 as the b-side of Hypnosis.
Recorded using session musicians with vocals added by MUD later.
No matter what the weather,
Got to get yourself together
Gonna swing that head,
You ’re a long time dead.
Don’t get your mind out of line or you’ll do it all over again.
Why do you stick to the rules,
If rules are just for fools.
Once you leave that track
Ain’t no going back.
Don’t get your mind out of line or you’ll do it all over again.
You’ve been living like a crackajack.
5-37 with a knife in your back.
Try sunshine and drinking wine.
Oh don ’t you know – (don’t you know) it’s gonna work out fine.
So when your running out of money,
And feeling kinda funny
Try charity – for eternity
Don’t get your mind out of line or you’ll do it all over again.
Break
Don’t get your mind out of line or you’ll do it all over again.

Released October 1973 on RAK (RAK-159) as the B-side of Dynamite
The band's first self-penned title released on RAK.
Hit the road to paradise
Never more to turn again.
Never stopping to think twice,
This mind of mine will never plan.
Call me Mr Bagatelle, you know me well.
Call me Mr Bagatelle.
Signs and places I ignore
Alone again I drift away.
Happy, hungry, smiling paw,
I hear the whispers as they say.
Call me Mr Bagatelle, you know me well.
Call me Mr Bagatelle.
Ah, the wanderer.
This wanderer – wasting my life away.
Maybe I’ve been blind,
But I can ’t find, peace of mind.
At home with superficial love,
I couldn’t face another day.
Traveling light and living rough,
It’s better than you are I pray
Call me Mr Bagatelle, you know me well.
Call me Mr Bagatelle.

Released January 1974 on RAK - RAK166 as the B-side of Tiger Feet
Morning, is the time of day,
When you are far away
That I’ll miss you.
Feeling, your body next to mine,
Giving that certain smile,
That you want me.
Oh I wonder.
Yes how I wonder.
Why are you leaving
Maybe you’ll stay
While I still pray.
Oh, how I pray.
So I wait for evening.
When the sun goes down.
And
you’re still home.
Oh I wonder.
Yes how I wonder.
Why are you leaving
Maybe you’ll stay
While I still pray.
Oh, how I pray.
Oh, how I pray.
Oh, how I pray.

Released April 1974 on RAK (RAK-170) as the B-side of The Cat Crept In
Standing over there she doesn’t have a care,
Giving me the eye, I don’t know why.
Rock ‘n’ Roll lady’s got the boys dangling on a string,
She does her thing.
But I moved in and asked her for a jive.
The joint was rockin’ I knew that she was mine.
Slippin’ and a sliding all around that greasy floor.
Gonna rock some more.
Chorus
Rock and roll lady knows how to move.
The rock and roll lady sure cuts a fine groove.
She’s a hip-shakin’ mamma with the boys buzzin’ ‘round her hide.
Rock and Roll lady knows how to move
Rock and roll lady sure cuts a fine cruise.
Humpin’ and a bumpin’, reelin’ at the high school hop
Now these black leather boys make a whole lotta noise.
Spinnin’ the queen on their throbbin’ machines.
She’s the queen of them all – out ranks them all.
Now the Queen is mine till the end of time.
Ain ’t gonna set her free, it’s just her and me.
’Cos she’s the queen of them all, we’re gonna have a ball.

Don’t try to deceive me
By trying to please me.
You found a new guy
Don’t lie,
I can’t stand it.
Why don’t you come clean now.
Excuses are weak.
Don’t speak.
I can’t stand it.
Chorus
You know I really feel.
This hurt will never heal.
I can’t stand it.
Oh no,
I can’t stand it.
It’s how you planned it.
Oh no,
I can’t stand it.
The way that you hold me.
Says everything,
Don’t cling.
I can’t stand it.
The way that you cheated.
Started a fight,
All right.
I can’t stand it.

Released November 1974 on RAK (RAK-187) as the B-side of Lonely This Christmas
She drew out all her money from the Southern Trust
And put her little boy aboard a greyhound bus.
Leavin’ Louisianne for the golden west,
Down came her tears from her happiness.
Her own little some named Johnney B Goode
Was going to make some motion pictures down in Hollywood.
Chorus
And sing bye bye, bye bye.
Bye bye, bye bye.
Bye bye Johnney, goodbye Johnny B Goode.
She remembered taking money in from gathering crops
And buying Johnny’s guitar from the brokers shop.
As long as he was playing by the railroad side.
Wouldn’t get in trouble, she’d be satisfied.
She never thought that there would come a day like this
When she would have to give her son a goodbye kiss.
Chorus
She finally got the letter she was dreaming of
’Cos Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love.
As soon as he was married he would bring her back
And build a mansion for her by the railroad side.
So everytime she heard the locomotive roar
She be standing, waiting at the kitchen door.
Chorus
– repeat and fade

Get out of that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans.

Roll my bgreakfast ’cos I’m a hungry man.

You never do nothing to save your goddamned soul.
I’m like a one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood store
I’m like a one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood store
I could look at you ’til you don’t love me no more.
I said Shake, Rattle And Roll.

You never do nothing to save your goddamned soul.
When I saw my baby walking, well I know I gotta date.

When I asked what’s the matter, this is what I heard her say.
See you later alligator.
After a while crocodile.
See you later alligator,
After a while crocodile.
Can’t you see your in my way now.
Don’t you know you cramp my style.
I said wait a minute ’gator, I know you mean it just for play.
I said wait a minute ’gator, I know you mean it just for play.
Don’t you know you really hurt me.

Don’t you know you cramp my style.
