lyrics

Get into the mood
with a little soul food
just one taste gon' change your
mind

so when you good and ready
to shake-a-lake that thing
I hope you're in your
prime

I don't want to harm you baby
so I'm warning you right now
the blues light's for yours and
mine

rolling like the tide
that rips with the ocean
so late but it steals on time

I can let you go
but if you come back once more
Just be ready if you
pleasin'

I ain't fooling around right now
it's about to be ours and how
one kiss and you 'll be
easy

In the basement with the bluelight on X 4

(Guitar solo)

i'm gonna rattle and soothe you
let chain lightnin groove you
just show me some kind of sign, yeah

Let's get it on, do the huck a buck with me
or the slow watusi
or maybe the monkey time

Get into the mood
with a little soul food
just one taste gone change your
mind

I don't want to harm you baby
so I'm warning you right now
the blues light's for yours and
mine

all down in the...
basement with the bluelight on X 4
