  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    2 CD Set. A collection of Greatest Hits, B-Sides and Previously Unreleased Tracks. The Only K-Doe Collection Available. Produced by Allen Toussaint with backing by The Meters. You can't think of Ernie K-Doe without thinking of "Mother-In-Law," his 1961 chart-topper and the only pop hit on his resumé. As this disc proves so well, K-Doe recorded many great sides. Those unfamiliar with K-Doe's career will undoubtedly get knocked out by "A Certain Girl" and "'Tain't It the Truth," two classics of New Orleans R&B. Toussaint's soulful, infectious arrangements wonderfully complement K-Doe's eccentric vocals, guiding the singer through the twisted narrative of Southern soul from the mud-baked Memphis sound of Stax ("Who Ever's Thrilling You Is Killing Me") to the Crescent City funk of the Meters ("Lawdy Mama") and beyond. What K-Doe lacks as a traditional vocalist he more than compensates for as a pure entertainer, and it's impossible to imagine cuts like the sex-crazed "Here Come the Girls" achieving such libidinous transcendence in the hands of a more conventional performer.

lyrics

Here come the girls!
Girls, girls, girls-girls!
Here come the girls!
Girls, girls, girls-girls!

Looking so good, it's a doggone shame
That they couldn't all be mine
Looking so pretty, it's a doggone pity
Oh, you're looking so fine (fine)
Look out brother, let me get further
Little closer to the one I love
Anything better than the opposite sex
They must a kep' it up above

Here come the girls!
Girls, girls, girls-girls!
Here come the girls!
Girls, girls, girls-girls!

I can live without coffee, I can live without tea
And I'm livid about the honeybee!
Now a fillet steak I could leave or take
But the girls are a part of me
And ohhh water
I don't need no lemonade
But to live without girls, I can't live without girls
Like a man with a hole in his head

Here come the girls!
Here come the girls!
Here come the girls!
Girls, girls, girls-girls!
Here come the girls!
Girls, girls, girls-girls!

Bored out of my head (hey!)
While the boxers do their thing (hoo-hoo-hoo!)
You make me feel so good inside
I got to jump up and say (aaah!)

Naa, naa, naa, naa!
Naa, naa, naa naa!
Naa, naa, naa, naa!
Naa-naa-nana-na!
Naa, naa, naa, naa!
Naa, naa-nana, na!
Naa, naa, naa, naa!
Naa-naa-nana-na!

Oooooooooooooohh!
I'm not saying I could live on love alone!
Oooooooooooooohh!
That the only thing that turn me on!
Oooooooooooooohh!
I was born to be free just once!
Freedom of choice rang that bell
Give all the girls to me!

Here come the girls!
Girls, girls, girls!
Here come the girls!
Girls, girls, girls!
Here come the girls!
Ooooooohhhh, water!
Here come the girls!
I don't need no lemonade!
Here come the girls!
Girls!
Here come the girls!
Here come the girls!
Here come the girls!
