Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I get up around seven

Get outta bed around nine

And I don't worry about nothin', no

Because worrying's a waste of my time

[Verse 2]

The show usually starts around seven

We go on stage around nine

Get on the bus about eleven

Sippin' a drink and feelin' fine

[Chorus]

We've been dancin' with Mr. Brownstone

He's been knockin'

He won't leave me alone

No, no, no, he won't leave me alone

[PreChorus]

I used ta do a little, but a little wouldn't do it

So the little got more and more

I just keep tryin' ta get a little better

Said a little better than before

I used ta do a little, but a little wouldn't do it

So the little got more and more

I just keep tryin' ta get a little better

Said a little better than before

[Chorus]

We've been dancin' with Mr. Brownstone

He's been knockin'

He won't leave me alone

No, no, no, he won't leave me alone

[Verse 3]

Now, I get up around whenever

I used ta get up on time

But that old man, he's a real muthafucker

Gonna kick him on down the line

[PreChorus]

I used ta do a little, but a little wouldn't do it

So the little got more and more

I just keep tryin' ta get a little better

Said a little better than before

I used ta do a little, but a little wouldn't do it

So the little got more and more

I just keep tryin' ta get a little better

Said a little better than before

[Chorus]

We've been dancin' with Mr. Brownstone

He's been knockin'

He won't leave me alone

No, no, no, he won't leave me alone

Won't leave me alone

[Outro]

Stuck it in the needle and I shot it in the middle

And it, it drove me outta my mind

I should've known better, said I wish I never met her, said I

I'd leave it all behind, yowza!
