From the recording The Big Beat
Lyrics
The Big Beat-Chickenbone Slim-Copyright 2017
Come on down to the Chicken Shack
buy the place a round and kick on back
dim the lights it’s worth the wait
when the beat drops you won’t hesitate
we got the Big Beat
we got the Big Beat
talks all over town
words on the street
we got the Big Beat
Jambalaya, sawdust on the floor
you’re back down home you can’t ask for more
The big bass drum don’t miss a beat
that solid funky rhythm knocks you off of your feet
we got the Big Beat
we got the Big Beat
well it sure is tasty
it’s salty and sweet
we got the Big Beat
Get yourself together do the slow drag slide
friction causes heat gonna get you every time
you can do the strut or shake your funky butt
once you got the beat you just can’t get enough
we got the Big Beat
we got the Big Beat
the way that she moves
makes you feel the heat
we got the Big Beat
Tell your friends, spread the news
you can’t lose with the stuff I use
it feels so good when you make it greasy
It might be simple but it’s not easy
I got the Big Beat
I got the Big Beat
we got the down home blues
knock you off your feet
we got the Big Beat
