Just like ZZ said....





When you get up in the morning and the light is hurt your head

The first thing you do when you get up out of bed

Is hit that streets a-runnin' and try to beat the masses

And go get yourself some cheap sunglasses

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah


Spied a little thing and I followed her all night

In a funky fine Levis and her sweater's kind of tight

She had a west coast strut that was as sweet as molasses

But what really knocked me out was her cheap sunglasses

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah


Now go out and get yourself some big black frames

With the glass so dark they won't even know your name

And the choice is up to you 'cause they come in two classes

Rhinestone shades or cheap sunglasses

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah


-ZZ TOP

This is one of those songs that has grown on me over the years. It's one of those that when I hear it on the radio, I mellow, lean back in the seat, and sing. It kind of makes everything right with the world. I wish a rap group and a rock group would get together for a remake....kind of like RUN DMC did with Aerosmith for Walk this Way. Would be stellar.
