When night is creepin' and I should be sleepin' in bed If you were peepin', you'd find that I'm weepin' instead Well, my loving daddy left his baby again He said he'd come back but he forgot to say when Night after night, I'm cryin' Daddy won't you please come home Daddy won't you please come home, I'm so lonesome No one can fill that favourite chair Home isn't home when you're not there No need to knock, the door is open for you Even the clock keeps tickin' Daddy won't you please come home Daddy do you have to roam so very long There's lots of other new sheiks who would like to be sheikin' I haven't slipped yet, but I'm liable to weaken Daddy, Daddy won't you please come home.

Viper Mad 04:14
I'm viper mad Must have my fun I'm never sad It can't be done The people are talking But I don't care I'm 21, I'm far from done, I've just begun Wrap your chops 'round this stick of tea Smoke this gage And get high with me Good tea's my weakness I know it's bad It sends me gate And I can't wait I'm viper mad

There's a place they call Samoa A place you all should know-a It's by the sea Loving there is just the most Don't palaber in the post They command each other Understand each other Perfectly Love and mamas there are free You don't give them repartie Wooing a tropical maiden Doesn't take topical talk You manoeuver and if you approve her You can win her love in one walk, oh.... Zulu man is feeling blue Feel his heart beat a little tattoo Diga diga doo, diga doo doo Diga diga doo, diga doo. Oh you love me and I love you And when we love it's natural to Diga diga doo, diga doo doo Diga diga goo, diga doo. I'm so very diga diga doo by nature If you don't say diga diga to your mate you're Gonna lose your mama So let those funny people smile How can there be a virgin isle With diga diga doo, diga doo doo Diga diga doo, diga doo

If I was whiskey, and you were a cup I'd dive to the bottom and I'd never come up How long do I have to wait? Can I get you now, or do I have to hesitate? Mama, mama, mama, look at sis She's out on the levee doing the double twist How long do I have to wait? Can I get you now, or do I have to hesitate? I knew a lady, she was tall She made me think about my parasol How long do I have to wait? Can I get you now, or do I have to hesitate? She said, "touch my bonnet, touch my shawl, But do not touch my waterfall" How long do I have to wait? Come in here, you dirty little sow You try to be a bad girl, you don't know how! How long do I have to wait? Can I get you now, or do I have to hesitate?

Oh, hear that bass a-slappin' Rhythm's takin' hold Let's all go to Guilt & Co Where the beer is cold Try a game of Jenga Or a whiskey shot Let's all go to Guilt & Co Where the music's hot Where guilty parties gather to have fun At midnight they have only just begun If you feel like sinning Sin that feels so right Let's all go to Guilt & Co Come on down tonight

about

The Jen Hodge All Stars were formed for a one-off gig I had on my birthday in November of 2010. Shortly thereafter, we found ourselves with a regular gig at a delightfully debaucherous haunt by the name of Guilt & Company, located in Vancouver’s historic Gastown district. Our weekly Wednesday nights there have grown into a wonderful scene of friends, fans, fellow musicians, lindy hoppers, and interesting revellers from all walks of life. With this recording, we have endeavoured to capture the spirit, energy, and mischief of an All Stars night at Guilt & Co.

Please enjoy responsibly… or not, we won’t tell.

I would like to thank…
Evan, Bonnie, & Dave for being the best bandmates anyone could ever hope for, both musically and personally; Arnt for writing a fantastic song about our regular gig and letting me use it on this album, as well as for all the great playing and friendship; Nick for the great playing and the enthusiasm with which you’ve tackled this music; all the other musicians who have ever worked with or sat in with the All Stars; the Vancouver swing dance community for being so fun and inspiring to play for; Darren Scherck for the birthday gig which started it all; Jody Bowen for hiring us at Guilt & Co; Jordan Stewart for keeping us there; the entire Guilty family, past & present, staff & patrons; Isobel Allen-Floyd for making my life easier; Andy and Tony for making this album sound how it ought to; Shawna for the incredible drawings; Rosea for the late nights of hard work on what I think is a beautiful finished product; Malcolm and Dave for the wonderful photos; all the great musicians who have come before us for their inspiration and guidance; and last but far from least, Marth, Fro, Sim, & Mike for your continued love, support, and laughter.

-Jen
