Backdoor Medley

(album: Fandango! - 1975)

[I. "Backdoor Love Affair"]

Got to have you, baby, even
Though you say that you don't care
Got to have you, baby, even
Though you say that you don't care
Any way you want it
Settle for a backdoor love affair

[II. "Mellow Down Easy"]

Jump, jump here, jump, jump there
Jump, jump, baby, everywhere

Don't you mellow down easy
Babe, you got to mellow down easy
Don't you mellow down easy
Got to mellow down easy
Don't you mellow down easy
Got to mellow down easy, babe
Don't you mellow down easy
Got to mellow down easy
Don't you mellow down easy
Mellow down easy when you really wanna blow your top

Shake, shake here, shake, shake there
Shake, shake, baby, everywhere

Don't you mellow down easy
Babe, you got to mellow down easy
Don't you mellow down easy
Got to mellow down easy
Don't you mellow down easy
Got to mellow down easy, babe
Don't you mellow down easy
Got to mellow down easy
Don't you mellow down easy
Mellow down easy when you really wanna blow your top

Shake, shake here, shake, shake there
Shake, shake, baby, everywhere

Don't you mellow down easy
Babe, you got to mellow down easy
Don't you mellow down easy
Got to mellow down easy
Don't you mellow down easy
Got to mellow down easy, babe
Don't you mellow down easy
Got to mellow down easy
Don't you mellow down easy

Got to mellow down easy
Got to mellow down easy
Got to mellow down easy
Got to mellow down easy, baby

Got to mellow down easy
Easy, baby, easy baby
Before you blow your top

You wanna blow your top?

Easy, baby, wu-hu!
Or you will blow your top

His face is real bad
His face is bad then Chafsu Mcfly, James Porn, Kung-Fu all put together

Oh, what you got, oh mine

But I got news for him
They don't call me the Texas home-frigging heartbreaker for nothing

Before you blow your top

When I might have no time to blow
Then you better blow what you got, baby

[III. "Backdoor Love Affair No. 2"]

Baby baby baby baby, don't you want a man like me?
Uh-huh uh-huh, yes I do, yes I do
Oh, baby baby baby baby, don't you want a man like me?
Uh-huh uh-huh, uh-huh uh-huh, uh-huh uh-huh
Oh, I give you loving by the daytime
Night time you could take good care of me

Baby baby baby baby, don't you want a man like me?
Uh-huh uh-huh, yes I do, yes I do
Oh, baby baby baby baby, don't you want a man like me?
Uh-huh uh-huh, uh-huh uh-huh, uh-huh uh-huh
Oh, I give you loving by the daytime
Night time you could take good care of me

Baby baby baby baby, don't you want a man like me?
Uh-huh uh-huh, yes I do, yes I do
Oh, baby baby baby baby, don't you want a man like me?
Uh-huh uh-huh, uh-huh uh-huh, uh-huh uh-huh
Oh, I give you loving in the daytime
Night time she could take good care of me

[IV. "Long Distance Boogie"]

Everybody feeling good? You're making us feel good, too!

Now, early this morning I got on that long-distance telephone
And I called my mama
I said, "Mama, this is your boy, and I'm way down here in New Orleans, Louisiana."
And she said, "That's all right, boy."
And she turned to my papa and she said, "Papa, our boy's way down there in New Orleans. We cannot let him stay out all-night long."
She did!

Long about that time, I heard my papa lean toward my mama
I heard papa tell mama, "Let that boy boogie-woogie."
He said, "It's in him and it's got to come out."

So I went downtown
There's a lot of people there
They was-a really having a ball
And I felt so good
Yes, I felt so good
Yes, I felt so good
Yes, I felt so good
Yes, I felt so good
Yes, I felt so good
Yes, I felt so good

Boogie, children!

Boogie, children!
