From the recording CAN'T WAIT TIL MY BABY GETS HOME/THE NEXT HAPPY HOUR
For some reason, I couldn't separate these two tunes when I burned them to my puter. They must have been written about the same time....a time when I was probably in a great mood! The first one is a cool little tune with a twist, that never developed any further than heard here.
The 2nd. 'Happy Hour", was a BadaBing favorite we never recorded for some reason...this is me teaching the band the arrangement. The ending was a tribute to Louis Prima, whom we all loved!
Lyrics
CAN’T WAIT TIL MY BABY GETS HOME
SHE GOT BLUES EYES, BLONDE HAIR
SOFT SKIN SHE’S SO FAIR
CAN’T WAIT TIL MY BABY
WAIT TIL MY BABY GETS HOME, LORD
IT’S MAKIN’ ME CRAZY
LONG TIME COMIN’..WE’RE GONNA HAVE FUN
AND I DON’T MEAN MAYBE
CAN’T WAIT TIL MY BABY GETS HOME, LORD
MY HEART’S RACIN, I HAVEN’T SLEPT AT ALL
I BEEN PACIN’ UP AND DOWN THE HALL
CAN’T WAIT TIL MY BABY
WAIT TIL MY BABY GETS HOME, LORD
IT’S GONNA BE GREAT
AND I WON’T BE SLEEPIN, CUZ SHE’LL BE KEEPIN’
ME UP ALL DAY
CAN’T WAIT TIL MY BABY GETS HOME, LORD
CAN’T WAIT TIL MY BABY GETS HOME, LORD
SHE'S MEETIN' HER MOM BUT IT WON’T BE LONG
TIL I’M PICKIN’ HER UP AND HOLDIN’ HER TIGHT
ROCKIN’ HER THRU THE NIGHT
OH YEAH, THAT WAS THE PHONE
I GOTTA RUN NOW, I BETTER GET GOIN’
I CAN’T WAIT TIL MY BABY
WAIT TIL MY BABY GETS HOME, LORD
I’M CELEBRATIN’
HAVE A CIGAR, GONNA PAINT THE TOWN PINK
I’M A BRAND NEW DADDY
CAN’T WAIT TIL MY BABY GETS HOME
THE NEXT HAPPY HOUR
I’M LOOKING FOR THE NEXT HAPPY HOUR
TWO FOR ONE FUN FREE FOR ALL IS WELL
IN MY LIFE, I’LL BE TAPPIN’ TOES TONIGHT
TIPPIN’ LIKE A ROCKEFELLER, SHELLIN’ OUT DOUGH LEFT AND RIGHT
LOOKING FOR THE NEXT HAPPY HOUR
I WON’T HEAR THEM YELL LAST CALL ME FIRST
IF YOU’RE THIRSTY WE CAN MEET AND BEAT THE CROWD
LOOKING FOR THE NEXT HAPPY HOUR
I FEEL SO GOOD TONIGHT I SHOULD BE TWINS
I CAN’T EXPLAIN THIS GOOD MOOD THAT I’M IN
BUT I JUST CAN’T WIPE OFF THIS SILLY GRIN
SO IF I GOTTA WEAR IT, I MAY’S WELL GO AND SHARE IT…SO
