What’s Your Name Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, it's eight o'clock in Boise
Idaho
I'll find my limo driver
Mister, take us to the show
I done made some plans for
Later on tonight
I'll find a little queen, and
I know I can treat her right
[Chorus]
What's your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl
Won't you do the same?
[Verse 2]
Back at the hotel
Lord, we got such a mess
It seems that one of the crew
Had a go with one of the guests, oh yes
Well, the police said we can't drink in the bar
What a shame
Won't you come upstairs, girl
And have a drink of champagne?
Well, it's eight o'clock in Boise
Idaho
I'll find my limo driver
Mister, take us to the show
I done made some plans for
Later on tonight
I'll find a little queen, and
I know I can treat her right
[Chorus]
What's your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl
Won't you do the same?
[Verse 2]
Back at the hotel
Lord, we got such a mess
It seems that one of the crew
Had a go with one of the guests, oh yes
Well, the police said we can't drink in the bar
What a shame
Won't you come upstairs, girl
And have a drink of champagne?
[Chorus]
What's your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl
Well, there ain't no shame
What's your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl
Won't you do the same? Oh, yeah
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
What's your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl
Won't you do the same?
[Verse 3]
Nine o'clock the next day
And I'm ready to go
I got six hundred miles to ride
To do one more show, oh no
Can I get you a taxi home?
It sure was grand
When I come back here next year
I wanna see you again
What's your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl
Well, there ain't no shame
What's your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl
Won't you do the same? Oh, yeah
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
What's your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl
Won't you do the same?
[Verse 3]
Nine o'clock the next day
And I'm ready to go
I got six hundred miles to ride
To do one more show, oh no
Can I get you a taxi home?
It sure was grand
When I come back here next year
I wanna see you again
[Chorus]
What was your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl
Well, there ain't no shame
What was name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl
Won't you do the same? Woo
What was your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl
Well, there ain't no shame
What was name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl
Won't you do the same? Woo
About
Genius Annotation
The last charting hit by the band with its original members.
Based on an episode in their tours, though not the exact sequence and location.
Charted at #13, and still has a regular place on the airwaves.
From the original band’s much acclaimed platinum fifth and last studio album, Street Survivors whose original cover below was changed from
to
since three band members died in a plane crash 3 days after the album’s release.
The fire on the original cover was understandably removed.
