Strychnine lyrics - The Cramps

(originally by The Sonics)

Some folks like water,
Some folks like wine,
But I like a taste,
Of straight strychnine,
You may think it's funny,
That I like this stuff,
But once you've tried it,
You can't get enough,
The wine is red,
And poison is blue,
Strychnine is good,
Oh what's a [?] to you,

The wine is red,
And poison is blue,
Strychnine is good,
Oh what's a [?] to you, oh oh oh

If you listen to what I say,
And you try strychnine someday,
Make you choke,
It'll make you shout,
Illegal, and knock you high,
Some folks like water,
Some folks like wine,
But I like the taste,
Of straight strychnine,

Strychnine (ay ay)
Strychnine (ay ay)
Strychnine (ay ay)
Strychnine (ay ay)

Fever lyrics - The Cramps

(originally by Little Willie John)

No one knows how much I love you
No one knows how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's a-hard to bear

You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever!
In the mornin'
Fever all through the night

Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
'Cause I know you're gonna treat me right

You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever!
In the mornin'
Fever all through the night

Captain Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very bad affair
But when her daddy tried to kill him,
She said, "Daddy-o don't you dare!

He gives me fever
When he kisses
Fever when he holds me tight
Fever!
I'm his missus
So Daddy-o treat him right"

Everybody's got the fever
That is somethin' we all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago

Romeo loves Juliet
Juliet, she felt the same
But when she put her arms around him
He said, "Julie, baby, you're to blame

You give me fever
When ya kisses
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever!
In the mornin'
Fever all through the night."

Well, now you've listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made
The Cramps are born to give ya fever
Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade

We give ya fever
Fever 'til ya live and learn
Fever!
Till ya sizzle
But what a lovely way to burn...

Domino lyrics - The Cramps

Well there's a cat in town that you might know,
He goes by the name of Domino!
Long key chain and a diamond ring,
[?], he's a crazy thing!
Oh, they love him so! And There goes Domino!
Domino, Domino, Oh!
Well the girls all think he's a real gone guy and they all flip when he walks by!
Dandy clothes and big white shoes,
Ready to go, never sings the blues!
They love him so! And there goes Domino!
Domino, Domino, Woah!
A gold [?] cap, and a solid style! Long side burns and a crazy smile!
Just ask they kids and they'll tell you so
[?] and there goes Domino!
Well they love him so! And there goes Domino!
Domino, Domino, Oh!
Domino, Domino, they love him so!
Here comes Domino, Domino, Domino...
Domino! go man, go! Domino, they love him so!
Get out of the way! Here comes Domino!
Domino, Domino.....

[?] The blues boys call
[?] His flow back hair
[?] They dig that cat called Domino

The Way I Walk lyrics - The Cramps

The way I walk is just the way I walk
The way I talk is just the way i talk
The way I smile is just the way I smile
Touch me baby and I'll go hog wild!

The way I love is just the way I love
Come on and be the one I'm thinking of
Touch me baby, it feels so good
Sometimes I think I wanna but I don't know if I should

The way I walk is just the way I walk
The way I talk is just the way i talk
The way I smile is just the way I smile
Touch me baby and I'll go hog wild!

The way I love is just the way I love
Come on and be the one I'm thinking of
Touch me baby, ooh, it feels so good
Sometimes I think I wanna but I don't know if I should

The way you love me's got to cramp my style
Oh, little baby, I would say bye-bye
Love me, baby, love me right
Love me morning, noon and night
