I've loved Carl Mann since I was 8 years old and heard Mona Lisa. I started collecting his 45s and finally got the Phillips LP.I He was a killer rocker! Eddie Bush's guitar was killer also.
Well, there's a corner on a street where everybody goes
They do a lot of boogie and the rock 'n' roll
They started boppin' the blues until daylight
I said come on baby let's rock tonight
We're gonna rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll
We're gonna rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll
Well, I tell you now gal, we're gonna rock 'n' roll tonight
Well, my tongue tied Jill is a beautiful dame
I was goin' down town to buy her a ring
I came to the corner where the cats were goin' wild
There stood my baby, she was a dancin' in style
So, we're gonna rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll
We're gonna rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll
Well, I tell you now gal, we're gonna rock 'n' roll tonight
Rock!
Well, my baby has been very nice
She looks at me, I feel like I'm on ice
But when I started rockin' to that dame
Lord I never feel no pain
We're gonna rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll
We're gonna rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll
Well, I tell you now gal, we're gonna rock 'n' roll tonight
Rock!
Well, we're gonna rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll
We're gonna rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll
Well, I tell you now gal, we're gonna rock 'n' roll tonight
I’ve got to assume this is the same Carl Mann who did ‘Mona Lisa’ and ‘Pretend’ on Phillips International (which by the way are great rockers, helped to keep Rock N Roll alive in the ‘Dark Ages’ of ‘59 and ‘60), but it doesn’t really sound like him...
