Oh yeah
You know one night I heard mama and papa talking
They said, "I won't let them k-kids boogie"
But let me tell you something, baby
He said, "We got to get a thing going
This is the modern age, this ain't the old-time age"
And a young man, a young friend of mine
Come walking in the back door with a set of drums, you know
And he got to feeling good
So he said, "Look-a here baby, can I come
In and lay some of that funk on you?"
I said, "All right, ain't no sweat"
So he walked in the door like this here, you know
Oh yeah
Now get down to it, baby, yeah
Ooh, he had to change my mind then, you know
Yeah, yeah
Always had to get down to the nitty gritty
Sitting a thousand miles from nowhere on that one road country shack
Not one room but one road, you know
It's one of them roads you can't see nobody
But it's knocking my bed down, Jim, you can believe that
So we come back another mile, went another hundred miles, you know
Cat said, "Look here, man, like we won't boogie, children"
So we saw another drummer
Well he was about 50 years old, you know
All I could hear, you know, all he was doing like this up in the air
Well that wasn't where it's at
So we took that funky drummer along
And what did he do? Come on, funky
Oh yeah, ha
Come on, guitar
Ooh yeah
Come on, give me a little more now
Yeah yeah, give me a little more
Ooh, ha, good God
Oh
One more
