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' and 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
