  1. ARed Dust Saturday Night2:08
    Verse 1
They swept the floor at seven, ran the cable through the wall,
Borrowed two bad speakers from the mess hall down the hall.
The drummer found a washtub, the guitar found the light,
And the red dust started rising on a Saturday night.
    Chorus
Red dust Saturday night!
Shake it from your boots till the morning turns white.
No medals on the dance floor, no questions at the door,
Just red dust Saturday night
And one song more.
    Verse 2
Jimmy lost his collar, Eddie lost a month of pay,
Somebody did the Monkey in a wholly reckless way.
The needle jumped at midnight, but the band came in just right,
And the red dust kept on climbing through the yellow light.
    Bridge
Tomorrow has a bugle,
Tomorrow has a name.
Tonight has got a backbeat,
And everybody sounds the same.
    Final Chorus
Red dust Saturday night!
Shake it from your boots till the morning turns white.
No speeches on the dance floor, no future to explain,
Just red dust Saturday night
Before the rain.

  2. BGood Morning, Miss Trouble3:08
    [Verse 1]
    She came down in her slippers
    At a quarter after eight
    Said, "Some of us are sleeping
    And some of us work late"
    I had my hand upon the volume
    And an answer in my head
    She took one look around the room
    And this is what she said
    
    [Chorus]
    Good morning, Miss Trouble
    You've got your finger on the bell
    Good morning, Miss Trouble
    You know this racket very well
    I thought you'd come to stop us
    Now the neighbours know your name
    Good morning, Miss Trouble
    You can come around again
    
    [Verse 2]
    She told the drummer, "Softly"
    Told the bass to come up strong
    She found the note the organ lost
    And put it in the song
    Then she took the empty microphone
    And sang a verse or two
    I forgot about my answer
    There was nothing left to do
    
    [Chorus]
    Good morning, Miss Trouble
    You've got your finger on the bell
    Good morning, Miss Trouble
    You know this racket very well
    I thought you'd come to stop us
    Now the neighbours know your name
    Good morning, Miss Trouble
    You can come around again
    
    [Bridge]
    She said, "I sing till two at night
    At the club across the square
    If you boys can learn to listen
    I could use you over there"
    
    [Final Chorus]
    Good morning, Miss Trouble
    You've got your finger on the bell
    Good morning, Miss Trouble
    You know this racket very well
    I thought you'd come to stop us
    Now we're learning your refrain
    Good morning, Miss Trouble
    You can come around again
