ACTION PACKED
(Jack Rhodes)
JOHNNY DOLLAR (Recorded 1958)
RONNIE DEE (Backbeat 522, 1959)

Now, give me the downbeat meastro
I wanna lay it on the line
'Cause eveything I do
I wanna do it in double time
When I take a ride in my car
I let 'er roll
Hear me, I said I let 'er roll
I like to feel that wind in my face
Nice and cold
If you chicks are timid
You just better turn back
'Cause when I take a ride in my car
It's gotta be action packed
Hear me, action packed, yeah!

Yeah, if y'r music's gonna move me
I just gotta feel the beat
Nothing slow and for the heart
I want a beat for the feet
Hear me, I said a beat for the feet
Well, if you play it slow and easy
I can't dig a lick like that
Well, if music's gonna move me
It's gotta be action packed
Hear me, action packed, whoo!

(Whoo, stay with me baby!)

Now, if I ever strike it rich
And that's for sure
I'm not gonna buy me one of them Cadillacs
Oh, not anymore
I'm gonna buy me one of them rocketships
Something to take me there and back
Hear me, I said take me there and back
It ain't gonna be no fun being rich
If it ain't action packed
Do you hear me? Action packed! Yeah!

Well, a chick who's gonna move me
Well, she must be gay and sweet
Two arms just made for lovin'
And lotsa rhythm in her feet
Hear me, I said rhythm in her feet
No squares ever tag along, uh-uh
Just to be near this cat
Well, you chicks is gonna move me
That gotta be action packed
Baby, hear me, action packed
Yeah, action packed
Lotsa action baby
Action packed
Yeah! Action packed!
Yeah! Action packed, baby
Yeah!
