Lyrics

Uh-huh, alright
Oh, oh, oh
I'm going down to the basement, y'all
Where people have a good time
The parties that I hear have nothing to do with wit
My ears are going out of my mind, mind, mind
Down here, they play the real thing
Songs that really are rock and roll
It's a cliché to put it this way
But they don't make 'em like that anymore, more, more, more
And if they put me in the spotlight
I'm never leaving the floor
I'm going down to the basement
I'm going down to the basement
I'm going down to the basement
'Cause I really wanna rock and roll, oh
An old man gets on the mic
Tells us to hang our burdens up
He says songs you hear today all start to get in the way
'Til you're barely even feeling the love, love, love, love
He drops the needle on a pop song
He drops the needle on some soul
And I watch a pair fall in love over there
Dancing to songs their parents would know, know, know, know
So everybody give me room now
Watch me cut a rug in this show
I'm going down to the basement
I'm going down to the basement
I'm going down to the basement
'Cause I really wanna rock and roll, oh
Alright
Party people sweat out the night
Let your body do just what it likes
Just want to hear something from before my years
Dance soldiers forgetting our day jobs
Tryna get our funk on 'cause we came to rock and roll
I'm going down to the basement
I'm going down to the basement
I'm going down to the basement
'Cause I really wanna rock and roll
Alright, it goes like this
I'm going down to the basement
I'm going down to the basement (I'm going down to the basement)
I'm going down to the basement (I'm going down to the basement)
(I'm going down to the basement)
I'm talking Little Stevie Wonder (I'm going down to the basement)
I'm talking Mr. Ronald Isley (I'm going down to the basement)
I'm talking J-J-J-James Brown (I'm going down to the basement)
I'm talking Ms. Aretha Franklin (I'm going down to the basement)
I'm talking S-S-S-Sam Cooke (I'm going down to the basement)
I'm talking M-M-M-Michael Jackson (I'm going down to the basement)
I'm talking Mr. Otis Redding (I'm going down to the basement)
I'm talking Ike & Tina Turner (I'm going down to the basement)
I'm going down to the basement
I'm going down to the basement
I'm going down to the basement
'Cause I really wanna rock and roll (c'mon, c'mon)
'Cause I really wanna rock and roll (everybody, say)
'Cause I really wanna rock and roll
'Cause I really wanna rock and roll (now one more time)
Say I really wanna rock and roll
Say I really wanna rock and roll
