Lyrics:
Ooh I got a busted wing and a hornet sting
Like an out of tune guitar
Ooh she got Hercules on her side
And Diana in her eyes
Some men like the Chinese life
Some men kneel and pray
Ooh well I like women and I like wine
And I've always liked it that way
Always liked it that way
Doo wop shoo bop
Doo wop shoo bop
Doo wop shoo bop, ah
I can't dig it, the way she tease
That old tough man routine up her sleeve
Living and loving, kissing and hugging
Living and loving with a cat named Hercules
A cat named Hercules
Oh it hurts like hell to see my gal
Messing with a muscle boy
No superman gonna ruin my plans
Playing with my toys
Rich man sweating in a sauna bath
Poor boy scrubbing in a tub
Me, I stay gritty up to my ears
Washing in a bucket of mud
Washing in a bucket of mud
Doo wop shoo wop
Doo wop shoo wop
Doo wop shoo wop, ah
I can't dig it, the way she tease
That old tough man routine up her sleeve
Living and loving, kissing and hugging
Living and loving with a cat named Hercules
A cat named Hercules
Doo wop shoo wop
Doo wop shoo wop
Doo wop shoo wop, ah
I can't dig it, the way she tease
That old tough man routine up her sleeve
Living and loving, kissing and hugging
Living and loving with a cat named Hercules
A cat named Hercules
A cat named Hercules
A cat named Hercules
A cat named Hercules
I must get out once in a while
Everything is starting to die
The dust settles, the worms dig
Spiders crawl over the bed
I must get out once in a while
I eat all day and now I'm fat
Yesterday's meal is hugging the plate
You never wash up after yourself
I must get out once in a while
Everything is starting to die
The dust settles, the worms dig
Spiders crawl over the bed
I must get out once in a while
I eat all day and now I'm fat
Yesterday's meal is hugging the plate
You never wash up after yourself
The night is cold
And I'm so all alone
I'll give my soul
Just to call you my own
Hugging and kissing
Ooh, what we've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
I've heard it say
That the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with the prayer
That you'll make love to me
Strange as it seems
Someday we'll meet
And you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet little things in my ears
Hugging and kissing
Ooh, what we've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad
I long to try something I never had
Never had no kissing
Oh, what I've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be
The night is cold and I'm so alone
I'd give my soul just to call you my own
Got a moon above me
But no one to love me
Lover man, oh, where can you be
I've heard it said
That the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a prayer
That you'll make love to me
Strange as it seems
Someday we'll meet
And you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet
Little things in my ear
Hugging and a kissing
Oh, what we've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be
I've heard it said
That the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a prayer
That you'll make love to me
Strange as it seems

And you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet

Hugging and a kissing
Oh, what we've been missing

Oh, what we've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be
Leave me, forget me
But please, darling, let me
Remember the things I can't forget
Like the moonlight, the stars bright
The love light in your eyes so bright
Are things I can never forget
Let me remember the tender
Love you have shown
And forget all the heartaches
And heartbreak I've known
All your hugging, all your kissing
Are the things I am missing
And things I can never forget
Now leave me, forget me
But please, darling, let me
Remember the things I can't forget
Like the moonlight, the stars bright
The love light in your eyes so bright
Are things I can never forget
Let me remember all the tender
Love you have shown
And forget all the heartache
And heartbreak I've known
Your hugging, all your kissing
Are the things I am missing
And things I can never forget
Rich man, poor man, thief
Doctor lawyer, chief
Feel a feeling that they can't ignore
It plays a part
In ev'ry heart
And ev'ry hearts is shouting encore
Love is sweeping the country
Waves are hugging the shore
All the sexes
From Maine to Texas
Have never known such love before
See them billing and cooing
Like the birdies above
Each girl and boy alike
Sharing joy alike
Feels that passion'll
Soon be national
Love is sweeping the country
There never was so much love
Love is sweeping the country
Waves are hugging the shore
All the sexes
From Maine to Texas
Have never known such love before
See them billing and cooing
Like the birdies above
Each girl and boy alike
Sharing joy alike
Feels that passion'll
Soon be national
Love is sweeping the country
There never was so much love
Spring is in the air
Each mortal loves his neighbor
Who's that loving pair?
Said "Hurry, Hurry because the gal you love is dead"
Well I packed up my suitcase
I took off down the road
When I got there she was layin' on the cooling board
I packed up my suitcase
And I took off down the road
When I got there she was layin' on the cooling board
It looked like ten thousand people standing around the burial ground
I didn't know I loved her 'till they began to let her down
Looked like ten thousand people standing on the burial ground
I didn't know that I loved her 'till they began to let her down
You know it's so hard to love
Someone that don't love you
Won't get satisfaction
Don't care what you do
So hard to love
Someone that don't love you
Don't look like satisfaction
Don't care what you do
Well I got up this morning
The break of day
Just hugging the pillows
She used to lay
Got up this morning
The break of day
Just hugging the pillows
Where my baby used to lay
I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad
I'd long to try something I'd never had
Never had no kissing, ooh, what I've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be
The night is cold and I'm so all alone
I'd give my soul just to call you my own
Got a moon above me but no one's here to love me
Lover man, oh, where can you be
I've heard it said that the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
And I'll go to bed with a prayer
That you'll make love, love to me strange as it seems
Someday we'll meet and you'll dry all my tears
And whisper sweet, little things in my ear
Hugging and a-kissing, oh, what I've been missing baby
Lover man, oh, where can you be
I've heard it said that the thrill of romance
Could be like a heavenly dream
And I'll go to bed with the prayer
That you'll make love, love to me strange as it seems
Someday we'll meet and you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet little things in my ear
Hugging and a-kissing, oh, what I've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be
Lover man, oh, where can you be
I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad

Then whisper sweet
Little things in my ear
Hugging and a kissing
Oh, what we've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be
Early in the morning 'bout the break of day
That's when my baby went away
Crying and pleading won't do no good
Come back, baby, I wish you would
I love you, baby, can't help myself
I wouldn't mistreat you with no one else
Tell me, baby, what you trying to do
Love me and another man too
Hugging and kissing late at night
Really makes my baby feel alright
Staying out drinking all night long
Drove my baby away from home
Please, pretty baby, give me one more chance
You know I love you, wanna be your man
Crying and pleading won't do no good
Come back, baby, I wish you would
I love you, baby, can't help myself
I wouldn't mistreat you with no one else
Hugging and kissing late at night
Really makes my baby feel alright
Easy, take it easy now
Early in the morning before the break of day
That's when my baby went away
Crying and pleading won't do no good
Come back, baby, I wish you would
I love you, baby, can't help myself
I wouldn't mistreat you with no one else
Tell me, baby, what you trying to do
Loving me and another man too
Hugging and kissing late at night
Really make my baby feel alright
I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad
I long to try something I never had
Never had no kissing
Oh, what I've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be
The night is cold and I'm so alone
I'd give my soul just to call you my own
Got a moon above me

And you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet
Little things in my ear
Hugging and a kissing
Oh, what we've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be
Busy body
Giving all your lovin' to just anybody
A Busy body
Holding, kissing, loving, hugging anybody
Ooh I got a busted wing and a hornet sting
Like an out of tune guitar
Ooh she got Hercules on her side
And Diana in her eyes
Some men like the Chinese life
Some men kneel and pray
Ooh well I like women and I like wine
And I've always liked it that way
Always liked it that way
I can't dig it, the way she tease
That old tough man routine up her sleeve
Living and loving, kissing and hugging
Living and loving with a cat named Hercules
A cat named Hercules
Oh and it hurts like hell to see my gal
Messing with a muscle boy
No superman gonna ruin my plans
Playing with my toys
Rich man sweating in a sauna bath
Poor boy scrubbing in a tub
Me, I stay gritty up to my ears
Washing in a bucket of mud
Washing in a bucket of mud
If you're gonna give me good kisses like that
Honey don't you know i'm gonna give them right back
'cause that's a kissing good way
(mmmm that's a kissing good way)
Ah that's a kissing good way
(that's a kissing good way)
That's a kissing good way
To mess around and fall in love
(don't mess around, don't mess around)
Ooh if you're gonna start out hugging me tight (right)
Don't mess around come and hug me right
'cause that's a hugging good way
(that's a hugging good way) yeah ha ha
That's a hugging good way (that's a hugging good way)
That's a hugging good way
To mess around and fall in love
(don't mess around, sing it bonnie, don't mess around)
You know you called me on the phone (yeah i got your number)
Just because i was alone
Ah you came around a wooing (why not)
You better ask somebody if you don't know what you're doing
Now that you've kissed me and you rocked my soul
Don't come round knocking rock 'n' roll
'cause that's a hugging good way
(that's a rocking good way) that's a rocking good way
(that's a rocking good way) that's a rocking good way
To mess around and fall in love
Don't mess around (tell me baby) don't mess around
Well now you call me on the phone (yeah baby)
And just because i was alone
You came around a wooing (woh!)
The night is getting on
The band is getting slow
The crowd is almost gone
But here we are still dancing
Nothing to do, but waltz
Our feet can barely move
My legs are yelling "Whoa"
But we're in such a groove
And love is still advancing
Nothing to do, but waltz
You can't suggest that we could go on jitterbugging
No bugging
We've nothing left for moves more strenuous than hugging
Just hugging
But we don't need much room to gently cut-a-rug in, we two
We're dead on our feet
And the sauce is repeatin'
But what can you do?
Rich man, poor man, thief
Doctor, lawyer, chief
Feel a feeling that they can`t ignore
It plays a part in every heart
And every heart is shouting, "Encore"
Love is sweeping the country,
Waves are hugging the shore,
All the sexes
From Maine to Texas
Have never known such love before!
See them billing and cooing
Like the birdies above
Each girl and boy alike
Sharing joy alike
Feels that passion` ll
Soon be national!
Oh It takes a real good woman to know
How to love a good man
It takes some hugging and kissing
But most of all some understanding and I've
I got all of the hugging and
Kissing and understanding I want
That's why I'm crazy 'bout my baby
(Crazy 'bout my baby)
Crazy 'bout my baby (Crazy 'bout my baby)
I'm mad about my baby (Crazy 'bout my baby)
And I know
(I know) I know for sure, she crazy 'bout me
Now, now, now
You can talk about the real fine chicks
Say they're nice and sweet as they can be
But I've got a woman, suit's me to a T
Now she may not look like Venus
She's sweet enough for me
I'm crazy 'bout my baby (Crazy 'bout my baby)
Crazy 'bout my baby (Crazy 'bout my baby)
Wild about my baby (Crazy 'bout my baby)
And it's plain
(It's plain) it's plain to see
She crazy 'bout me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Now, me and my baby, don't you know
We're doing all right we love one another
Vow to treat each other right
Now I've got enough lovin' to last me
For the rest of my life
Crazy 'bout my baby (Crazy 'bout my baby)
And I'm wild 'bout my baby
(Crazy 'bout my baby)
Mad about my baby (Crazy 'bout my baby)
Oh, crazy 'bout my baby (Crazy 'bout my baby)
And I know
(I know) I know for sure, she crazy 'bout me
Now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Crazy 'bout my baby)
Crazy 'bout my baby (Crazy 'bout my baby)
I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad
I long to try something I never had
Never had no kissing
Oh, what I've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be
The night is cold and I'm so alone

Got a moon above me

Then whisper sweet
Little things in my ear
Hugging and a kissing
Oh, what we've been missing

And you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet
Little things in my ear
Hugging and a kissing
Oh, what we've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be
And the deckhands from the toll boats
Come ashore wearin' Mexican shoes
They headed strait for Graceland
It was the first thing they wanted to do
Cinco de Mayo in Memphis
Marchetti singin' the blues
Soul sisters hugging Senoritas
All sportin' Blue suede shoes
Pork pie hats and sombreros
Hangin' on a downtown street
Swingin' pool cues at Pinatas
Don't that river smell sweet?
