How lucky can one guy
be?
I kissed her and she kissed me
Like the fella once said
"Ain't that a kick in the head?"
The room was
completely black
I hugged her and she hugged back
Like the sailor said, quote
"Ain't that a hole in a boat?"
My head keeps
spinnin'
I go to sleep and keep grinnin'
If this is just the beginnin'
My life is gonna be beautiful
I've sunshine enough
to spread
It's just like the fella said
Tell me quick, ain't love a kick in the head?
Like the fella once
said
"Ain't that a kick in the head?"
Like the sailor said,
quote
"Ain't that a hole in a boat?"
My head keeps
spinnin'
I go to sleep and keep grinnin'
If this is just the beginnin'
My life is gonna be beautiful
She's tellin' me
we'll be wed
She's picked out a king-size bed
I couldn't feel any better or I'd be sick
Tell me quick, oh, ain't love a kick?
Tell me quick, ain't love a kick in the head?

It was way past
midnight
And she still couldn't fall asleep
This night the dream was leaving
She tried so hard to keep
And with the new day's dawning
She felt it drifted away
Not only for a cruise, not only for a day
Too long ago, too
long apart she couldn't wait another day for
The captain of her
heart
Too long ago, too
long apart she couldn't wait another day for
The captain of her
heart
Too long ago, too long
apart she couldn't wait another day for
The captain of her
heart
As the day came up,
she made a stop she stopped waiting another day for
The captain of her heart
The captain of her heart
The captain of her heart, heart, heart, heart, heart ...

YEAR: 1964
The Animals(also billed as Eric Burdon
and The Animals) are an English rhythm and bluesand rockband, formed in
Newcastle
upon Tynein the early 1960s. The band moved to London upon
finding fame in 1964. The Animals were known for their
gritty, bluesysound and
deep-voiced frontman Eric Burdon,
as exemplified by their signature songand transatlantic number-one hit single, "The House of
the Rising Sun", as well as by hits such
as "We Gotta Get
Out of This Place", "It's My Life",
"Don't Bring Me Down",
"I'm Crying",
"See See Rider",
and "Don't Let Me
Be Misunderstood". The band balanced tough,
rock-edged pop singles Against rhythm and blues-oriented
album material and were part of the British Invasionof the US.
The
Animals underwent numerous personnel changes in the mid-1960s, and suffered
from poor business management, leading the original incarnation to split up in
1966. Burdon assembled a mostly new lineup of musicians
under the name Eric Burdon and the Animals; the much-changed act moved to
California and achieved commercial success as a psychedelicand hard rockband
with hits such as "San
Franciscan Nights", "When I Was
Young", and "Sky Pilot",
before disbanding at the end of the decade. Altogether, the group had 10 top-20
hits in both the UK Singles Chartand the US Billboard Hot 100.
The original lineup of Burdon, Alan Price, Chas Chandler, Hilton Valentine, and John Steelreunited for a one-off benefit concert in Newcastle in 1968. They later had brief comebacks in
1975 and 1983. Several partial regroupings of the original-era members have
occurred since then under various names. The
Animals were inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Famein 1994.
"Baby Let Me Take You Home", a song
credited to Bert Russell(a.k.a.
Bert Berns) and Wes Farrell, was The Animals' debut
single, released in 1964. In the UK, it reached #21 on the pop singles chart. In the
U.S. its B-side, "Gonna Send You Back to Walker" (retitled "to
Georgia"), was released but was not a significant hit, placing only at #57
on the pop singles chart.
American soul singer Hoagy Landspreviously
recorded the song in 1964 as "Baby Let Me Hold Your Hand", released
on Atlantic 2217.
The song is an arrangement of Eric Von Schmidt's
rendering of "Baby, Let Me
Follow You Down" as covered by Bob Dylan, on his
first, self-titled, album. The Animals' version opens with striking unaccompanied guitar
arpeggios, inserts a middle section with spoken words over an organ riff and
closes with a frantic double-time coda. The result was a key influence on
Dylan's change to electric music and to the folk-rock genre.
In 2006, Eric Burdon,
of The Animals, began to perform the song in a heavier version, on his concerts
again, adding a short story how they came to it.
Baby, can I take you
home?
Baby, let me take you home
I'll love you all my life, you can bet I'll treat you right
If you'll just let me take you home
Baby, can I dance
with you?
Baby, can I dance with you?
I'll do anything in this God-Almighty world
If you'll just let me dance with you
Baby, let me take you
home
Baby, let me take you home
I'll love you all my life, you can bet I'll treat you right
If you'll just let me take you home
When I saw you baby,
I couldn't ignore you
And I wanted you for my girl
And when you said, "Yeah"
I just couldn't care about anybody else in this world alone
