Verse
Em Am
Hey, brother, what you thinking?
C B
Leave that old record spinning
Em Am
You feel the rhythm, going
C B
(They call it lonely digging)
Em Am
Let's end your time to lay low
C B
Your knees a-bending, so
Em Am
It's time to get up and let go
C B
(You're gonna come undone)
Em Am
Hey, mama, how's it going?
C B
Can't see your body moving
Em Am
Don't leave the party dying
C B
(They call it lonely digging)
Em Am
Your booty shaking, you know
C B
Your head has no right to say no
Em Am C B
Tonight it's "ready, set, go"
Chorus
Em
Baby can you move it round the rhythm
Am
So we can get with 'em,
C B
To the ground and get us a rock and roll round
Em Am
Just a downtown body body coming with a super-hottie
C B
Let's go, yes, no, hell no
Em
Baby can you move it round the rhythm
Am C
Cause you know we're living in the fast lane, speed up
B Em Am C B
It ain't no game, just turn up all the beams when I come up on the scene
