Little Feat Tribute EP

Rock And Roll Doctor

There was a woman in Georgia, didn't feel just right
She had the fever all day and chills at night now things got worse a serious bind
At times like this it takes a man with a style 
I cannot often find a doctor of the heart and a doctor of mind.
If you like country with a boogie beat, he's the man to meet
If you like the sound of shuffling feet, he can't be beat
If you wanna feel real nice, just ask the rock and roll doctor's advice.

It's just a country town but patients come from Mobile to Moline from miles around
Nacogdoches to New Orleans in beat-up old cars or in limousines
To meet the doctor of soul, he's got his very own thing.
Two degrees in be-bop, a PHD in swing
He's the master of rhythm, he's a rock and roll king
If you like country with a boogie beat, he's the man to meet
If you like the sound of shuffling feet, he can't be beat
If you wanna feel real nice, just ask the rock and roll doctor's advice.

Hamburger Midnight

Square knees was asking for a reason how can I go sleeping in a car
I got red hot tires my tires are smoking I'm so broke I don't wanna stop
My gears are crying my gears are crying
I got the hamburger midnight blues

Got a grease mother she's a holder finder keeper of the scooter gas
You gotta lift your tail and seal you fate snort the crank your old man stashed
And ride a tin can ride a tin can street machine
I got the hamburger midnight blues

Square knees was asking for a reason how can I go sleeping in a car
I got red hot tires my tires are smoking I'm so broke I don't wanna stop
My gears are crying my gears are crying
I got the hamburger midnight blues

Spanish Moon

Well the night that I got into town
Was the night of the rain, it froze on the ground
Down the street I heard such a sorrowful tune
Coming from the place they call the Spanish Moon

Well I stepped inside and stood by the door
While a dark eyed girl sang and played the guitar
There was hookers and hustlers, they filled up the room
I heard about this place they call the Spanish Moon

There's whiskey and bad cocaine poison get you just the same
And if that that don't kill you soon the women will down at the Spanish Moon
Well I pawned my watch and I sold my ring just to hear that girl sing
I don't care who, you can wake up ruined you can lose it all down at the Spanish Moon

Cajun Girl

Serious blue eyes, so pale and so shy look closer because she's got that look in her eye
Red hair that sails on a soft southern breeze fingers that fly on accordion keys
You ain't seen nothing until you've seen my cajun girl
She's really something my sweet singing cajun girl

Cook cajun, speak creole, and lay on the spice her fancy so free on these Saturday nights
She sings and she plays at the parish hall dance big city chanteuses just don't stand a chance
You ain't seen nothing until you've seen my cajun girl
She's really something my sweet singing cajun girl

Might find me a dream, just West of New Orleans if you pole up the bayou St. John
The way twin fiddles play and she squeezes her box until dawn all night they carry on
Tell long leg Lucille I must send my regrets it's nothing she's done, it's just someone I met
With innocent heart, true talent so rare she bloom on the bayou, this flower so fair
You ain't seen nothing until you've seen my cajun girl
She's really something my sweet singing cajun girl

Might find me a dream, just West of New Orleans if you pole up the bayou St. John
The way twin fiddles play and she squeezes her box until dawn all night they carry on

That's Her, She's Mine

She cooled my heels some time ago sent me reeling when she chilled my toes
She stole my heart ya know, and she froze my eyes feeling like this again is some surprise
She that kinda girl whose loving I was meant to get
She won't drop no dime on me no kiss and tell that I can see
That's her and she's mine look don't touch because looking I don't mind
See that girl looking so fine that's her and she's mine

I been rich ya know and I been poor been in love a couple of times before
I had to choose you know between the two I'd take both, rich and in love I ain't no fool
When she starts to moving I begin to spin she got that kind of loving always do me in
That's her and she's mine look don't touch because looking I don't mind
See that girl looking so fine that's her and she's mine

She's a tall drink of water and I'm such a thirsty man
She won't drop no dime on me no kiss and tell that I can see
That's her and she's mine look don't touch because looking I don't mind
See that girl looking so fine that's her and she's mine

Candy Man Blues

Well all you ladies gather round
The good sweet candyman's in town
He's the candyman he's the candyman
He got a stick of candy nine inch long
He sells as fast as a hog can chew on his corn
He's the candyman he's the candyman

I heard what Sister Johnson says
She likes to take a stick of candy to bed
He's the candyman he's the candyman
Don't stand too close to the candyman
He'll leave a big candy stick in your hand
It's the candyman it's the candyman

He sold some candy to sister Pat
The very next day she took all he had
It's the candyman it's the candyman
If you try his candy, good friend of mine
you sure will want it for a long long time
He's the candyman he's the candyman
His stick of candy don't melt away
It just gets better, so the ladies say
He's the candyman he's the candyman
