Eddie Cochran

Ray Edward 'Eddie' Cochran (October 3, 1938–April 17, 1960) was an American rock and roll pioneer who, in his brief career, had a small but lasting influence on rock music through his guitar playing. Cochran's rockabilly songs, such as "C'mon Everybody", "Somethin' Else", and "Summertime Blues", captured teenage frustration and desire in the late 1950s and early 1960s. He experimented with multitrack recording and overdubbing even on his earliest singles, and was also able to play piano, bass and drums. His image as a sharply dressed, rugged but good-looking young man with a rebellious attitude epitomized the stance of the Fifties rocker, and in death he achieved an iconic status. more »

Well, I'm a uptown cat, yeah, I live in a crazy pad
Well, I'm a ladies man, yes, a smooth-talkin' dad

I gotta go to bed 'cause I'm tired and sleepy
I can't love you baby 'cause I'm tired and sleepy
Tired and sleepy
Ooh baby, so tired

I left the house last night, yeah, with style and grace
I met a wild, wild woman, yeah, I tried to keep the pace

I gotta go to bed 'cause I'm tired and sleepy
I can't love you baby 'cause I'm tired and sleepy
Tired and sleepy
Ooh baby, so tired

I got a fifty-dollar headache, yeah, hundred-dollar shoes
A big long pink Cadillac and a bad-bad case of blues

I gotta go to bed 'cause I'm tired and sleepy
I can't love you baby 'cause I'm tired and sleepy
Tired and sleepy
Ooh baby, so tired

Yeah, rock!
Oh

Well, I'm a uptown cat, yeah, I live in a crazy pad
Well, I'm a ladies man, yes, a smooth-talkin' dad

I gotta go to bed 'cause I'm tired and sleepy
I can't love you baby 'cause I'm tired and sleepy
Tired and sleepy
Ooh baby, so tired

Well, I'm a-waiting for you daddy, yeah, that's what my baby said
But honey, I got a passion for my king-size bed

I gotta go to bed 'cause I'm tired and sleepy
I can't love you baby 'cause I'm tired and sleepy
Tired and sleepy
Ooh baby, so tired
