Sittin' in the Balcony (02:00)
Eddie Cochran • Somethin' Else: The Fine Lookin' Hits of Eddie Cochran
I'm just a-sittin' in the balcony
Just a watchin' the movie
Or maybe it's a symphony, I wanna know

I don't care about the symphonies
Just the cymbals & the timpanis
Just a-sittin' in the balcony on the very last row

I'll hold your hand & I'll kiss you too
The feature's over, but we're not through

Just a-sittin' the balcony
Holdin' hands in the balcony
Just a-sittin' in the balcony on the very last row

(instrumental)

We may stop lovin' to watch Bugs Bunny
But he can't take the place of my honey

Just a-sittin' in the balcony
Just a-smoochin' in the balcony
Just a-sittin' in the balcony on the very last row
Just a-huggin' & a-kissin' my baby on the very last row

i'll bet my peanuts to a candy bar
you'll be cuter than a movie star

when it's over and we're headin' back
we'll stop in for just a little snack
six hot dogs oughtta be just right
after such a wonderful night

Summertime Blues (02:00)
Eddie Cochran • Somethin' Else: The Fine Lookin' Hits of Eddie Cochran
I'm gonna raise a fuss
I'm gonna raise a holler
About workin' all summer
Just-a trying to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby
Try to get a date
My boss says "No dice, son
You gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder
What I'm-a gonna do
But there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues

Well my mama and papa told me
"Son, you gotta make some money
If you wanna use the car
To go ridin' next Sunday"
Well, I didn't go to work
Told the boss I was sick
"You can't use the car
'Cuz you didn't work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm-a gonna do
But there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues

I'm gonna take two weeks
Gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem
To the United Nations
Well, I called my congressman
And he said, quote:
"I'd like to help you, son
But you're too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm-a gonna do
But there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues

C'mon Everybody (01:56)
Eddie Cochran • Somethin' Else: The Fine Lookin' Hits of Eddie Cochran
Ah well, c'mon everybody and let's get together tonight
I got some money in my jeans and I'm really gonna spend it right
Well I've been a-doin' my homework all week long
And now the house is empty and the folks are gone
Ooo C'mon everybody

Ah well my baby's number one but I'm gonna dance with three or four
And the house'll be a-shakin' from my bare feet slappin' on the floor
Well, when you hear that music you can't sit still
If your brother won't rock then your sister will
Ooo C'mon everybody

Well we'll really have a party but we gotta put a guard outside
If my folks come a-home I'm afraid they're gonna have my hide
They'll be no more movies for a week or two
No more runnin' round with the usual crew
Who cares C'mon everybody

C'mon everybody
C'mon everybody

Nervous Breakdown (02:20)
Eddie Cochran • Somethin' Else: The Fine Lookin' Hits of Eddie Cochran
CHORUS:
I'm a-havin' a nervous breakdown
A mental shakedown
See my hands, how they shiver
See my knees, how they quiver
My whole body's in a jitter
I'm a-havin' a nervous breakdown

Well, I went to see my doctor just the other day
& I've got to tell you what the man had to say
Well, he said, "Hey, boy, you just gotta slow down
You can't keep a-traipsin' all over town
After givin' you a physical check
I've come to the conclusion you're a total wreck"

(chorus)

I've made up my mind I'd better change my ways
My shattered nerves have seen better days
No more girls for a week or 2
No more runnin' 'round with the usual crew
No more movies or stayin' out late
My baby have to find herself another date

Weekend (01:51)
Eddie Cochran • Somethin' Else: The Fine Lookin' Hits of Eddie Cochran
(La la la la la la la la) (female backing throughout song)

Friday night, everything's right for the weekend
Crazy clothes, anything goes on a weekend
John called Ann & Jim got Sue
& I made a date with little ol' you
Off we went to make a big tent on the weekend

Boy, it's great just a-stayin' out late on a weekend
Know a spot & like it a lot on a weekend
Took a road to Lookout Hill
The view up there is sure a thrill
What a night to hold you tight on a weekend

There we were just sittin' cool & cozy
Just about to steal a little kiss
The police with a flashlight bright & nosy
Sayin', "Holdin' neck o'er there, what is all this?"

Car top down, just ridin' around on a weekend
Took a chance on crashin' a dance on a weekend
We were almost inside the place
When somebody slammed the door in my face
"Hey, you guys have gotta wear ties on a weekend!"

No harm done, just a-havin' some fun on a weekend
That was all, we had a big ball on the weekend

(repeat la la la's & fade)

Eddie Cochran • Somethin' Else: The Fine Lookin' Hits of Eddie Cochran

but right now I can't afford the gas
a brand new convertible is outa my class
but that can't stop me from a-thinkin' to myself
that car's fine lookin' man, it's something else

hey, look ahere, just wait and see
worked hard and saved my dough
i'll buy that car that i been wanting so
get me that girl and we'll go ridin' around
we'll look real sharp with the flight top down
i keep right on a-dreamin' and a-thinkin' to myself
when it all comes true man, wow, that's something else

look a-there, what's all this
never thought i'd do this before
but here i am a-knockin' on her door
my car's out front and it's all mine
just a forty-one ford, not a fifty-nine
i got that girl an' i'm a-thinkin' to myself
she's sure fine lookin' man, wow, she's something else

Cherished Memories (01:54)
Eddie Cochran • Somethin' Else: The Fine Lookin' Hits of Eddie Cochran
You're going away - away from me
But here in my heart is the memory of
The way we danced the way we kissed
The way we fell in love

Oh the little secrets that we shared
When I was sad the way you cared
You let me know you understand
The way you hold my hand

Cherised Memories the things a fellow cant forget
Cherised Memories Im leaving but I love you yet..

Now you say that we must part
And even though it breaks my heart
Theres one thing you cant take from me
Thats my Cherised Memories

Eddie Cochran • Somethin' Else: The Fine Lookin' Hits of Eddie Cochran
Now there are Three Steps To Heaven
Just listen and you will plainly see
And as life travels on
And things do go wrong
Just follow steps one, two and three

Step one - you find a girl to love
Step two - she falls in love with you
Step three - you kiss and hold her tightly
Yeah! that sure seems like heaven to me

The formula for Heaven's very simple
Just follow the rules and you will see
And as life travels on
And things do go wrong
Just follow steps one,two and three

Step one - you find a girl to love
Step two - she falls in love with you
Step three- you kiss and hold her tightly
Yeah! that sure seems like heaven to me
Just follow steps one,two and three

Cut Across Shorty (01:48)
Eddie Cochran • Somethin' Else: The Fine Lookin' Hits of Eddie Cochran
now a country boy called shorty
and a city boy named dan
had to prove who could run the fastest
to win miss lucy's hand
now dan had all the money
and he also had the looks
but shorty must have had something, boys
that can't be found in books

well, a-cut across shorty, shorty cut across
that's what miss lucy said
cut across shorty, shorty cut across
it's you i wanna wed

now dan had been in training
a week before the race
he made up his mind
ol' shorty would end in second place
and dan with his long legs a-flyin'
left shorty far behind
and shorty heard him holler out
miss lucy, you'll soon be mine

but shorty wasn't worried
there was a smile upon his face
he knew that he was a-goin' to win
'cause lucy had fixed the race
and just like that old story
about the turtle and the hair
when dan crossed over the finish line
he found shorty waiting there
