"Play Ruby, Play" lyrics

"Play Ruby, Play"

Ruby was a redneck beauty
She loved Little Richard and sang 'Tutti Frutti'
Wanted her name in lights, she wore her dresses tight
Ruby was a victim of circumstance
She liked to wiggle and boogie dance
Out in the country, she hardly ever got the chance

She had a local band and played the local bars
Had the local boys are breathin' hard
She had hillbilly eyes that could shine in the dark
A country soul and a rock 'n' roll heart
And her whole body shook when she stood up, played the piano

And the boys say, "Play, Ruby, play
We really like the way you do it
Come on, and play, Ruby, play
We love the way you get into it"
She made the young men scream and the old men moan
Rock on, rock on, rock on
Ooh, ooh, huh-huh, yeah
Ooh, ooh, huh-huh

Sometimes at night with the full moon beamin'
She would run around the mountains kickin' and-a screamin'
If I don't get out on the road, I'm gonna explode
The last time I saw her, she was down in the city
Shoutin' and-a shakin', making plenty
Ruby was a sight to behold, she was on a roll

She had a local band and played the local bars
Had the local boys are breathin' hard
She had hillbilly eyes that could shine in the dark
Had a, a country soul and a rock 'n' roll heart
And her whole body shook when she stood up, played the piano

And the boys say, "Play, Ruby, play
We really like the way you do it
Come on, and play, Ruby, play
We love the way you get into it"
She made the young men scream and the old men moan
Rock on, rock on, rock on
Rock on, rock on, rock on

Yeah, play, Ruby, play
We really like the way you do it
Play, Ruby, play
Play, Ruby, play, come on, honey and do it
(Play, Ruby, play) Yeah, oh, you're lookin' good, honey
(Play, Ruby, play) Hoo, have a good time, honey
(Play, Ruby, play) Ha, ha, shake it like that for me
(Play, Ruby, play) Hoo, hey, uh-huh
