Lyrics
Let's Get Down
I. I'm sippin' a little Christian Brothers.
It goes down real smooth.
I'm cookin' up a big ole pot a gumbo.
Th' party's gonna start real soon.
II. Th' patio's lit with citrus candles.
'Skeeters, take a hike!
I'm gonna put a fishbowl on th' table.
Who's goin' home with who tonight?
(Chorus)
Let's get down! I wanna go, go!
Let's get down! I'll be your yo-yo!
Let's get down! Let's take it real slow!
Let's get down! (Beatbox) Let's get down! (Beatbox, repeats)
III. I'm wakin' up on a Sunday mornin'.
Who's that in my bed?
Sixties flash across my reminiscin'.
We look like th' Grateful Dead!
IV. California dreamin's still allurin'.
But, mirrors never lie.
You gotta live your life with no regretin'.
You never know what day you'll die!
(Chorus)
Let's get down! I wanna go, go!
Let's get down! I'll be your yo-yo!
Let's get down! Let's take it real slow!
Let's get down! Let's get down! (Beatbox)
(Tag) Let's get down! (Beatbox) Let's get down! (Beatbox) Let's get down! (Beatbox) Let's get down! (Beatbox) Let's get down! (Beatbox)
