The Basement |
I’m going down to the basement, y’all |
Where people have a good time |
The parties that I hit |
Have nothing to do with wit |
My ears are going out of their mind, mind, mind, mind, mind |
Down here they play the real thing |
Songs that really are rock and roll |
It’s a cliche to put it this way |
But they don’t make 'em like that any more, more, more, more, more |
And if they put me in the spotlight |
I’m never leaving the floor |
I’m going down to the basement |
I’m going down to the basement |
I’m going down to the basement |
Cause I really wanna rock and roll |
An older man gets on the mic |
Tells us to hang our burdens up He says songs you hear today |
All start to get in the way |
Til you’re barely even feeling the love, love, love, love, love |
He drops the needle on a pop song |
He drops the needle on some soul |
I watch a pair fall in love over there |
Dancing to songs their parents would know, know, know, know, know |
So everybody give me room now |
Watch me cut a rug in the show |
I’m going down to the basement |
I’m going down to the basement |
I’m going down to the basement |
Cause I really wanna rock and roll |
Alright |
Party people sweat out the night |
Let your body do just what it likes, no I just wanna hear |
Something from before my years |
Dance soldiers |
Forgetting our day jobs |
Trying get our funk on Cause they came to rock and roll |
I’m going down to the basement |
I’m going down to the basement |
I’m going down to the basement |
Cause I really wanna rock and roll |
It goes like this |
I’m going down to the basement |
I’m going down to the basement |
I’m talking little Stevie Wonder |
I’m talking Mr. Ronald Isley |
I’m talking J-J-J-J-James Brown |
I’m talking Miss Aretha Franklin |
I’m talking sister, sister? |
I’m talking M-M-Michael Jackson |
I’m talking Mr. Otis Ray |
I’m talking Ike and Tina Turner |
Oooo! |
I’m going down to the basement |
I’m going down to the basement |
I’m going down to the basement |
Cause I really wanna rock and roll |
I said really wanna rock and roll |
I said really wanna rock and roll |
I said really wanna rock and roll |
Said I really wanna rock and roll |
Said I really wanna rock and roll |
