Gene Vincent, real name Vincent Eugene Craddock, (February 11, 1935 – October 12, 1971) was an American rockabillypioneer musician, best known for his hit Be-Bop-A-Lula. He performed with his backing band, the Blue Caps. After Be-Bop-A-Lula had become a huge hit (peaking at #7 and spending 20 weeks in the Billboard Pop Chart), Gene Vincent & the Blue Caps were unable to follow it up with the same level of commercial success, but released critically acclaimed songs like Race With The Devil(#96 in Billboard) and Bluejean Bop(#49). Following a visit to Europe in 1959, Vincent managed to attract a new huge and discerning audience there, especially in England and France. By that time his career had mostly ended in the US.

Five Feet Of Lovin’ ’56 Lyrics

Gene Vincent

Well, Ive got a little mama and my mama is small
My little mama is five foot tall
Well now, when she gives me kisses I feel like a fool
My little mama is cool-cool-cool.
She gives me five feet of lovin, yeah man
Five feet of huggin, oh boy
Five feet of lovin that satisfies my soul.
Yeah, when I take her dancin, shes the chick on the scene
When she starts a-boppin everybody starts to scream
She does the camel walk across the middle of the floor
I begin to holler, give me more-more-more
She gives me five feet of lovin, yeah man
Five feet of huggin, oh boy
Five feet of lovin that satisfies my soul.
(rock!)
My mama gives me kisses in the middle of the night
My little mama is the joy of my life
Ho-kiss, po-kiss, domino-kiss zip-boom-bah
My litte mama, rah-rah-rah
She gives me five feet of lovin, yeah man
Five feet of huggin hey man
Five feet of lovin that satisfies my soul. (rock!)
Well, Ive got a little mama and my mama is small
My little mama is five feet tall
When she gives me kisses I feel like a fool
My little mama is cool-cool-cool.
She gives me five feet of lovin, yeah man
Five feet of huggin oh boy
Five feet of huggin that satisfies my soul.
