NEW MOON OVER JAMAICA
TWENTY FLIGHT ROCK
By Ned Fairchild and Eddie Cochran
OOH, WELL, I GOT A GIRL WITH A RECORD MACHINE,
WHEN IT COMES TO ROCKIN', SHE'S A QUEEN.
WENT TO A DANCE ON A SATURDAY NIGHT,
ALL ALONE WHERE I COULD HOLD HER TIGHT.
SHE LIVES ON THE TWENTIETH FLOOR UPTOWN.
THE ELEVATOR'S BROKEN DOWN.
SO I WALK ONE, TWO FLIGHT, THREE FLIGHT FOUR,
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN FLIGHT, EIGHT FLIGHT MORE,
UP ON THE TWELFTH I'M STARTING TO SAG,
FIFTEEN BEFORE I'M READY TO DRAG.
GET TO THE TOP AND I'M TOO TIRED TO ROCK.
WELL, SHE, SHE CALLED ME UP ON THE TELEPHONE,
SAID, "COME ON OVER, BABY, I'M ALL ALONE."
I SAID, "BABY, YOU'RE MIGHTY SWEET,
BUT I'M IN BED WITH A ACHING FEET."
THIS WENT ON FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS,
BUT I COULDN'T STAY AWAY.
SO I WALK ONE, TWO FLIGHT, THREE FLIGHT FOUR,
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN FLIGHT, EIGHT FLIGHT MORE,
UP ON THE TWELFTH I'M STARTING TO SAG,
FIFTEEN BEFORE I'M READY TO DRAG.
GET TO THE TOP AND I'M TOO TIRED TO ROCK.
WELL, SENT TO CHICAGO FOR REPAIRS,
TILL IT'S FIXED I'M USIN' THE STAIRS.
I HOPE THEY HURRY, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE,
YOU KNOW, I LOVE MY BABY TOO MUCH TO WAIT.
ALL THIS CLIMBING IS GETTING ME DOWN,
THEY'LL FIND MY CORPSE DRAPED OVER THE RAIL.
BUT I WALK ONE, TWO FLIGHT, THREE FLIGHT FOUR,
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN FLIGHT, EIGHT FLIGHT MORE,
UP ON THE TWELFTH I'M STARTING TO SAG,
FIFTEEN BEFORE I'M READY TO DRAG.
I GET TO THE TOP AND I'M TOO TIRED TO ROCK.
OOH, OH-OH-OH.
OOH, WELL, I GOT A GIRL WITH A RECORD MACHINE,
WHEN IT COMES TO ROCKIN', YOU KNOW SHE'S A QUEEN.
WENT TO A DANCE ON A SATURDAY NIGHT,
ALL ALONE WHERE I COULD HOLD HER TIGHT.
SHE LIVES ON THE TWENTIETH FLOOR UPTOWN.
THE ELEVATOR'S BROKEN DOWN.
WELL, I WALK ONE, TWO FLIGHT, THREE FLIGHT FOUR,
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN FLIGHT, EIGHT FLIGHT MORE,
UP ON THE TWELFTH I'M STARTING TO SAG,
FIFTEEN BEFORE I'M READY TO DRAG.
I GET TO THE TOP AND I'M TOO TIRED TO ROCK.

NEW MOON OVER JAMAICA
By Paul McCartney, Johnny Cash and Tom T. Hall
THERE'S A NEW MOON OVER JAMAICA,
AND THE NEW YEAR JUST GOT HERE, YOU SEE.
THERE'S A NEW MOON OVER JAMAICA,
AND I'M LIVING WITH AN OLD MEMORY.
SO WON'T YOU COME BACK TO JAMAICA?
YOU KNOW IT ISN'T SO FAR.
LOOK UP IN THE SKY WHERE YOU LEFT ME THAT NIGHT,
I'LL BE STANDING RIGHT UNDER THAT STAR.
THERE'S A NEW MOON OVER JAMAICA,
AND THE NEW YEAR JUST GOT HERE, YOU SEE.
THERE'S A NEW MOON OVER JAMAICA,
AND I'M LIVING WITH AN OLD MEMORY.
I SAID GOOD EVENING TO VENUS,
SHE SAID GOOD EVENING TOO.
OUT THERE SOMEWHERE, YOU KNOW I COULD SWEAR,
SHE SENT A MESSAGE OF TRUE LOVE FROM YOU.
THERE'S A NEW MOON OVER JAMAICA,
AND THE NEW YEAR JUST GOT HERE, YOU SEE.
THERE'S A NEW MOON OVER JAMAICA,
AND I'M LIVING WITH AN OLD MEMORY.
A NEW MOON MAKES SOMEONE FEEL HAPPY,
A NEW MOON MAKES SOMEONE LOVESICK.
I'M THINKING OF YOU, BUT WHAT CAN I DO?
NEW MOONS AND NEW YEARS AND OLD LOVE'S DON'T MIX.
THERE'S A NEW MOON OVER JAMAICA,
AND THE NEW YEAR JUST GOT HERE, YOU SEE.
THERE'S A NEW MOON OVER JAMAICA,
AND I'M LIVING WITH AN OLD MEMORY.
JUST THE NEW YEAR, A NEW MOON AND ME.
