Lyrics
Do The Damn Thang
Copyright 2006 S. Towery
Throw another log on the fire
Turn the music up a little bit higher
I?m gonna do the damn thang , gonna do the damn thang tonight
Cause when I do the damn thang, you know I do the damn thang right
Y?all better get out of my way cause I?m about to lose my cool
Spectators don?t you be surprised when a brotha starts to act a fool
Cause when the music is right on hit then I just don?t feel no shame
I got to get up with my baby on the floor and like a pro we gonna do the damn thang
Throw another log on the fire
Turn the music up a little bit higher
I?m gonna do the damn thang , gonna do the damn thang tonight
Cause when I do the damn thang, you know I do the damn thang right
Y?all better get on your feet cause the party?s bout to get so hot
All my peoples get yo hands up high cause I?m bout to give it all I?ve got
Cause when the music is right on time Then a brotha?s gotta stake his claim
That it?s a golden opportunity to break it down while you do the damn thang
Throw another log on the fire
Turn the music up a little bit higher
I?m gonna do the damn thang , gonna do the damn thang tonight
Cause when I do the damn thang, you know I do the damn thang right
I don?t care if you stare and I don?t care if you laugh at me
I don?t have any shame its not about my dignity
This is the way we do, when do the thangs we do
If you just take a chance you can get up and do the damn thang to
On the real I?m just party animal and you ain?t see a damn thang till I get up on the dance flo?
I mean I got a need to make your body swang, and when I hear the funky beat I lose all of my shame
In the day or late night I keep moving and grooving to the beat yeah that?s right and my body is cruising
Cause I?m addicted to the beat it keeps calling my name, and I don?t hesitate to break it down and do the damn thang
