Sequence 96

Gerry Thomas, Bill Curtis

Welcome, I see everybody's here!
Everybody turned out tonight
Ha, they wanna be on this Fatback live recording
Alright, go ahead and get down, mama
Gimme a break, right here!

First of all, we travel around
Most of young people ask:
"What is Fatback? What is it all about?"
Fatback is a feeling, it's like a soul feeling
Like a... y'know, the blues and everything, you're gettin' that
But we're gonna show you how we're built

We start basics with the foot
A big foot at that... yeah, yeah
Now, since we have such a large crowd
And everybody's getting down:
Give me a little hand clap, make it soulful now
Soulful... oh, spank me, spank me
Yeah, we're gonna keep right on groovin', yea

Now I want that real funky DMX bad beat!
Here come the big Boss Man! The big Back of Fatback!
The man, that puts it where it's at:
Bass guitar! Oh Lord...
Oh, I can stay here all night, just...
How sweet it is! As Kurtis Blow would say, "haw!"

We need a little sample, hi-hat sample
These are the toys, we can have fun with chik [?]
Squeeze it, bang it, shake 'em
Go ahead mama, go ahead mama
You're looking good, you're looking good

(Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, yeah
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo)
Listen, all those soul sisters sound good singing there
Now check girls, now check... hold it
I got a surprise for y'all, yeah
Let that guitar groove on for a while

Now, back in early 60s, mates would call this "the piano"
Now they call this "the synthesizer". Gimme a little synthesizer sound?
This is Fatbackin'! You are now in the middle of a Fatback experience
Get with it!

Now Ron, back long here [?], we wanna do something a little different
They used to scratch, but we're gonna scrub the tape
Let's scrub the tape!
Now scrub it backwards
Scrub it forwards! Ha ha ha...
Now get to that, you scratchers
(You're fatbackin' now, you're fatbackin'!)
(Fatback experience!)
Nothing but a party y'all, nothing but a party...

Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, yeah
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, yeah
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, yeah
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, yeah
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, yeah
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, yeah
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, yeah
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo...

Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, yeah
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, yeah
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, yeah
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, yeah...
