We're gonna slip on the dark shades for ya this time, Sing ya some of Joe's blues huh, uh huh. You can't groove on dope You can't groove on wine If you're trying to catch a groove watchin' TV Man you're a'wasting time Well you can do what you want You want get far You know the only way to groove is on a bass guitar Uh, huh You find a loose little rhythm Then you lock in tight Yes you roll on it over and over 'Til it sounds just exactly right You can learn to sing lead if you need to be a star But the only way to groove is on a bass guitar I said it fills out the bottom, dirty and mean It's down right greasy when the soundman's clean You know the eyes in the room they all lookin' at the star The butts are all shakin' to the bass guitar Huh, huh Give me a little love, Mike You could dress real cool, Wear dark shades You might be sleak, sharp, and shiny just like a razor blade Yeah, you drive around town in a long black car But the only way to groove is on the bass guitar You know it fills out the bottom, dirty and mean It's down right grunge when the soundguy's clean The eyes in the room they's all lookin' at the star The butts are all shakin' to the bass guitar Play it for me one time my brother. You know my friend, the good doctor Joe Mariencheck brought me This song He told me it was the perfect country and western song. I told him it was not the perfect country and western song cause it Didn't mention momma, it didn't mention trucks, hell it didn't have a Country beat. It's more of a kind of a jazz thing. And it's about bass. I don't know what he's talkin' about. Check him out though, he's good. Joe, do something, hey, Yes you can do what you want Do what you want How, how, how, how
