Sitting at home listening to old records The almighty thunder gathering Strength
But reggae is soothin’ The dancin’ ‘n’ groovin’ Is slidin’ yo’ back on down Yo’ face the music ‘n’ beat hits you right
Selecting a song listening to old records The crashing storm nears, at lengths
The Blues ‘n’ truckin’ cool Because da rhythm is blue No cotton pickin’ dude Is gonna grab my blues Unless the beat gets you right
Collecting old tunes listening to old records The clattering thunderclaps are almost overhead
The Jazz picks up ‘n’ slides ‘n’ weaves Sax, trumpet, drums and reeds You feeling hot, you gotta trot The sax is blowin’ its nose Got no time to give a pose Because the beat gone done it right.
