37. Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3
1. She's MY Baby
She's got her pudding in the oven
And it's gonna be good.
She better not leave me
And go out to Hollywood.
She got the best pudding in the neighborhood.
She's my baby.
She can drive a truck,
She can drive a train.
She can even drive an aeroplane.
She's so good to look at in the rain.
She's my baby.
She's comin' down the sidewalk
She's stumblin through the door
She's coming home from places
she's never been before.
She sits down on the sofa
She poors herself a drink
Says, "Ooh honey, honey ain't no time to think."
My baby
My baby
(solo)
My baby
She's got a body for business
Got a head for sin
She knocks me over
like a bowling pin.
She came home last night and said,
"Honey, honey, honey it's hard to get ahead."
My baby
My baby
She can build a boat
She can make it float (My baby, m-my-my baby)
She can play my guitar
Note for Note
She likes to stick her tongue right down my throat.
She's my baby.
My baby.
My baby.
My baby.
repeat, fade.
2. Inside out
Look out your window
That grass ain't green.
It's kinda yellow.
See what I mean?
Look up your chimney
The sky ain't blue.
It's kinda yellow.
You know it's true.
(It's so hard to figure what it's all about)
chorus
When your outsides in (inside out)
And your downsides up (upside down)
Yeah, your upsides right (rightside up)
Yeah, don't it make you wanna twist & shout
when you're inside out.
Look down your drain pipe.
What color do you see?
It's got to be yellow.
Don't try to fool me.
(and don't it make you wanna twist and shout)
chorus
Be careful where you're walking
You might step in something rough.
Be careful where you're talking
And saying all that stuff.
Take care when you are breathing
Something's funny in the air.
And somethings I'm not saying
Bout what's happening out there.
It's inside out.
Look into the future
With your mystic crystal ball.
See if it ain't yellow
See if it's there at all.
(Ain't no shadow of doubt
Don't it make you wanna twist and shout)
Chorus
3. If you belonged to me
Waltzing round the room tonight
In someone else's clothes.
You're always coming out of things
Smelling like a rose.
You hang your head and your heart is filled with so much misery...
You'd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me.
You say let's go to the rodeo
And see some cowboy fall.
Sometimes it seems to me you've
Got no sympathy at all.
You keep on going on and on about how you're so free...
You'd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me.
It ain't easy to get to you.
But there must be some kind of a way
If only two could look to you
For only one moment of each day.
You're saying that you're all washed up
Got nothing else to give.
Seems like you would've figured out
How long you have to live
You could feel like a baby again sitting on your daddy's knee...
Oh how happy you could be
If you belonged to me.
(harmonica solo)
The guy your with is a ruthless pimp
Everybody knows
Every cent he takes from you
Goes straight up his nose.
You look so sad, you're going so mad, any fool can see...
You'd be happy as you could be
If you belong to me.
4. The devil's been busy
While you're strolling down the fairway
Showing no remorse.
Glowing from the poisons
They've sprayed on your golf course
While you're busy sinking birdies,
And keeping your scorecard,
The devil's been busy in your back yard.
Steaming down the highway,
with your trucks of toxic waste,
Where you gonna hide it
In the outer space?
You don't know what you're doing
Or what you have to guard
The devil's been busy in your back yard.
Sometimes you think you're crazy
But you know you're only mad.
Sometimes your better off not knowing
How much you've been had.
You see your second cousin
Wasted in a fight.
You say he had it coming,
You couldn't do it right.
You're in a western movie, playing the part
The devil's been busy in your back yard.
(solo)
Sometimes they say you're wicked
But you know that can't be bad.
Sometimes you're better off not knowing
It'll only make you sad.
They're coming down picadilly
Dripping at the dash
Wasting sticky willy
Covering him with their cash.
They just might not have noticed, they've been beating him so hard
The devil's been busy in your back yard.
5. 7 deadly sins
7 deadly sins
That's how the world begins
Watch out when you step in
For 7 deadly sins
7 deadly sins
That's when the son begins
(7 deadly sins)
(sin number one) was when you left me
(sin number two) you said goodbye
(sin number three) was when you told me
a little white lie.
7 deadly sins
Once it starts, it never ends.
Watch out aroung the bend.
A 7 deadly sins
(sin number four) was when you looked my way
(sin number five) was when you smiled
(sin number six) was when you let me stay
Sin number seven
Was when you touched me and told me why.
7 deadly sins
So many rules to bend
Time and time again
7 deadly sins
6. Poor House
You walk in, half past nine
Lookin like a queen,
Serving me with papers,
Calling me obscene.
Woman I've tried so hard
Just to do my best
They're gonna put me in the Poor House
And you'll take all the rest.
Up all day, Down all night
Working on the job
Everything I do is wrong
I always end up right.
Woman I try so hard
Done all I can do.
They're gonna put me in the Poor House
Leave all the best for you.
ooo in the poor house
ooo in the poor house
If a drove a pulpwood truck
Would you love me more?
Will you bring me diamonds
And hang around my door
Woman , I've done my best
They're ain't much left for me.
They're gonna put me in the Poor House
And throw away the key.
ooo in the poor house
repeat 1st verse
7. where were you last night
Where were you last night?
You were so uptight.
What did you do, who did you see?
Were you with someone
Who reminded you of me?
Where were you last night?
Where were you last week?
Were you up a creek?
Did you stay up pacing the floor?
Got me worried
You ignore me more and more.
Where were you last night?
You weren't around me
When they found me.
Where were you last night?
(solo)
You better stop your messin around
Your name is going round from town to town
It's making me sad
Making me fell bad
Where were you last night?
Where were you last year?
You sure as hell weren't here.
You weren't waiting where you said.
You sent someone in your place instead.
Where were you last night?
It's getting to me
Making me gloomy
Where were you last night?
8. Cool dry place
Well I woke up this morning
The place was such a reck
I couldn't reach the bathroom
Thought I'd better clear the deck.
I tried to call the lawyer
And ask him what to do
He referred me to his doctor
Who referred me back to you
And when you checked the manual
You kept in side the case
It said 'put it in a cool dry place'
I drove around the city
Looking for a room
That was high above the water
Where my things could be in tune
There was noone to help me
Nobody even cared
I had to got through hell
To get those things up there
I paid my first subscription
Then I joined the idle race
and they said 'Store it in a cool dry place'
I got guitar, basses, amplifiers and drums
Accordions and Mandolis and things that sometimes hum
Cymbals and Harmonicas, capos by the score
And lots of things in boxes laying all around the floor
Some places they get mildew
And others get too hot.
Some places are so damp that
Everything you got just rots
All kinds of condensation
Directories of the rain
There's not much compensation
When everything's been stained.
Some have sentimental value that
Cannot be erased
Go store it in a cool dry place
We got solids and acoustics
And some from flowered board
And some are trimmed in leather
And some are made with gourds
There's organs and trombones
And reverbs we can use
Lots of dx-7s
And old athletic shoes
I bought a great big building
It took up one whole block
I made an inventory
Of all the things in stock
The place was getting longer
I was up all night
I used up all my pencils
But I went onto spite
The blury of my vision
The sweat upon my face
I've got to put this stuff away
I mustn't leave a trace
The landlord's breathing down my neck
He say's it's a disgrace
So i said "put it in a cool, dry, place.
9. New Blue Moon
I don't want nothing
Nothing but you.
Am I waiting,
Looking for a new blue moon.
I'm so tired waiting
Waiting for you.
Am I waiting
Looking for a new blue moon.
So many moons have come and gone
And none of them were blue
So many times the son came up but
Came up without you, you, ya yoo hoo oo
You don't call me
Call me lonely
Am I waiting
Looking for a new blue moon
repeat chorus
Someday when you hold me
Someday you may see.
I was waiting
Looking for a new blue moon
I was waiting
Looking for a new blue moon
Blue Moon
10.
You Took My Breath Away
You took my breath away
Now I want it back again
Look at the mess i"m in
I don't know what to say,
I don't know how to feel
YOu don't care anyway
all I can do is write
YOu took my breath away.
YOu took this song of mine,
And changed the little bit
It used to sound alright
But now the words don't fit.
It's getting hard to rhyme
Impossible to play
I've tried it many times
YOu took my breath away.
One day when the sun is shining
There will be that silver lining
You knocked my headlights out
So turn them on again
I can't see where I'm going
I can't tell where I've been
I don't know how to feel
This hasn't been my day
Seems like I've lost a wheel
You took my breath away.
YOu took my breath away
You took my breath away
You took my breath away.
11. Wilbury Twist
Put your hand on your head
Put your foot in the air
Then you hop around the room
In your underwear
Ain't ever been nothin quite like this
Come on baby do the wilbury twist
Lift your other foot up
and fall on your ass
Get back up
Put your teethi in a glass
Ain't ever been nothin quite like this
It's a magical thing called the wilbury twist
Roll up your rug
Dust your broom
BAll th jack
Howl at the moon
Aint ever been nothing quite like this
Everybody's trying to do the wilbury twist
Turn your lights down low
Put your blindfold on
You'll never know
Where your friends have gone
Could be years before you're missed
Everybody's trying to do the Wilbury twist
It's a different dance
For you to do
Spin your body
Like a screw
Better not forget it on your shopping list
You can stop and buy one
It's the wilbury twist.
