The Basement
Eric Hutchinson

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
