The Tip Top Stomp
(B. Roc, R. Ferguson, Z. Sapunor)
key: E
Verse 1:
We’re The Tip Top Trio and we’re rockabilly’s guiding light
We like to play a little song and we’ll play it for you all night…long.
Well it’s the Tip Top Stomp and we’ll drop it on the spot
Cause it’s an atom bomb exploding and we can’t hold it tight.
Verse 2:
We’re a rockin’ force of nature, the ones makin’ all the earthquakes.
We start the tidal waves ride fifty footers up in the sky
Well the Tip Top Stomp turnin’ volcanos hot
We bring the lighting down & burn the whole place to the ground.
Chorus 1 Let it loose (Let it go)
Let it loose (For the show)
Let it go (Doncha’ worry we’re total control)
Make ya jerk (Make ya shake)
Grab your spine (Make it break)
Make your toes curl back, put your soul on a stake.
Stick your toes in the fire…turn the gas a little higher.
Wait till it’s brown n crispy…then we give you a taste.
That’s the Tip Top Stomp…and that’s the way we rock!!!
Solo
Verse 3: Zack B. Hectic is a-slappin’ on the doghouse bass
Dick Dice is rollin’ sixes and he keeps the rhythm in it’s place.
Even the 12 bar blues will obey our shoes…
We keep it going longer when we’re in the mood…
And ignore the member we won’t mention cause he gets enough
attention…buildin’ tension on Tip Top Stomp…
It’s what we’re givin’ you…a whole hell of a lot…
Now you got it, gotta’ use it, just abuse it, please don’t loose it…
Cause we’re the Tip Top Trio and we always rock it right.
Chorus: Let it loose (Let it go)
Let it loose (For the show)
Let it go (Doncha’ worry we’re total control)
Make ya jerk (Make ya shake)
Grab your spine (Make it break)
Make your toes curl back, put your soul on a stake.
Stick your toes in the fire…turn the gas a little higher.
Wait till it's brown n crispy…then we give you a taste.
That’s the Tip Top Stomp…and that’s the way we rock!!!
Chorus 2: Good things come in threes. On your knees!
We got some pretty, pretty ladies sayin’, “Pretty, pretty please?”
What can we do when we do it for you?
We gotta’ give & give & give till we’re through.
Then we give it some more…then we’re out the door.
Then we do another town just like we done you tonight
Cause we’re The Tip Top Trio doin’ The Tip Top Stomp…
and we always rock it right!!!

Bubblegum Baby
(Z. Sapunor)
key: G
Verse 1:
Let me tell ya ‘bout a chick ya see I think she’s the best
though she does a little differently than most of the rest.
Goes to school in the day, getting’ A’s on the tests
but you should dig the way she does it when she’s back at the nest.
First she…
walks through the door puts her stuff on a chair
then she opens up a window cause she loves the fresh air
gets the coffee from a pot and she drinks it from a mug
kicks her high heels off and she rolls up the rug
puts the record on the table and lets the needle drop
‘til the next thing that you know she’s a-doin’ the bop
Chorus: Bubblegum Baby (dancin’, dancin’) [x4]
Bubblegum Baby man she likes to rock and roll
SOLO
Verse 2: now when the record hits the end hear her holla’, “Oh Man!”
but she don’t get mad cuz the gals gotta’ plan
grabs the disc and flips so the B-side’s on
and then she bops a boogie to her favorite song
it’s an oldie but a goodie and you know she rocks it right
from the early early evening to the middle of the night
Chorus: Bubblegum Baby (dancin’, dancin’) [x4]
Bubblegum Baby man she likes to rock and roll
Bridge: She can bop, boogie, stroll, she can twist it too
She can even watusi or a-boogaloo
Monkey or the bird, swim or the strut
She never stops dancin’ and I’ll tell you what…
Chorus: Bubblegum Baby (dancin’, dancin’) [x4]
Bubblegum Baby man she likes to rock and roll
Rock n Roll, Rock n Roll

You Won't Say It
(B. Roc)
Verse 1: Whoa, you won't say it.
Despite how many times I've asked.
Despite my pleading in the past you won't say it.
Huh-hu-huh you won't say it.
Why must you treat me so?
Why won't you just go? Huh-hu-huh-hu-huh
Verse 2: Whoa, you won't say it.
Can't stand the way you look at me
Like I'm the dirt and you're the seed. You won't say it.
Huh-hu-huh you won't say it.
Lady, nothin' grown' here
Unless you plant a beer. Huh-hu-huh-hu-huh.
Chorus 1:
I met you down at the Rusty Gut. I can't recall the time
You asked, "A nickel for the juke," and I gave you a dime
I got my money's worth, I know, when I got you alone
But that was about a year ago. Now please go on home
SOLO
Chorus 2:
I can't stand the way you dress and how well you clean your clothes
I can't stand your attitude, it's as perky as your nose
You're way to goddamn good for me and everybody knows
You're only gonna raise me up...I can't stand it...why don't it show?
Outro: Whoa, you won't say it. You won't say you're leaving me
