It’s time to lose the day, it’s time to head to head to beale,
Where the rhythm is hot, and the music is real
You can do without love, swear off the booze,
But everyone alive needs to sing the blues
So time to raise some hell and get on down.
We goin’ down, down underground
We goin’ down, down down, just to hear that sound
We’re gonna dance so close, feel my breath on your skin,
It ain’t quite heaven, but the closest i been
We goin’ down, down underground
First we heard it in church, then we added some gin
Then we took it down here and added soul to sin
Gonna jump and jive like a demon possessed
The devil’s in the music, the music is blest
We goin’ down where paradise is found.
We goin’ down, down underground
We goin’ down, down, down, just to burn that sound
We gonna do some things that you never dared
Ain’t no white folks here,
Cause they too damn scared
We goin’ down, down underground
My brother runs my life, my brother owns this bar
He won’t let me be till he makes me a star
He gives me this mic, makes me sing all i can,
Just can’t have no fun or talk to no man
Wanna paint the town but with him
Ain’t no fooling around we goin’ down, down underground
We goin’ down, down, down, just to hear that sound
Gonna grope and grind, gonna hold on tight,
Find true live at least for tonight.........
