Eric Hutchinson - The Basement Lyrics
I'm going down to the basement, y'allWhere people have a good timeThe parties that I hitHave nothing to do with witMy ears are going out of their mind, mind, mind, mind, mindDown here they play the real thingSongs that really are rock and rollIt's a cliche to put it this wayBut they don't make 'em like that any more, more, more, more, moreAnd if they put me in the spotlightI'm never leaving the floorI'm going down to the basementI'm going down to the basementI'm going down to the basementCause I really wanna rock and rollAn older man gets on the micTells us to hang our burdens upHe says songs you hear todayAll start to get in the wayTil you're barely even feeling the love, love, love, love, loveHe drops the needle on a pop songHe drops the needle on some soulI watch a pair fall in love over thereDancing to songs their parents would know, know, know, know, knowSo everybody give me room nowWatch me cut a rug in the showI'm going down to the basementI'm going down to the basementI'm going down to the basementCause I really wanna rock and rollAlrightParty people sweat out the nightLet your body do just what it likes, noI just wanna hearSomething from before my yearsDance soldiersForgetting our day jobsTrying get our funk onCause they came to rock and rollI'm going down to the basementI'm going down to the basementI'm going down to the basementCause I really wanna rock and rollIt goes like thisI'm going down to the basementI'm going down to the basementI'm talking little Stevie WonderI'm talking Mr. Ronald IsleyI'm talking J-J-J-J-James BrownI'm talking Miss Aretha FranklinI'm talking sister, sister?I'm talking M-M-Michael JacksonI'm talking Mr. Otis ReddingI'm talking Ike and Tina TurnerOooo!I'm going down to the basementI'm going down to the basementI'm going down to the basementCause I really wanna rock and rollI said really wanna rock and rollI said really wanna rock and rollI said really wanna rock and rollSaid I really wanna rock and rollSaid I really wanna rock and roll
