Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He had a rainy day
I'm in a snake-backed situation
Here's a pencil pack
I'm gonna spare some information

You, making me happier, while I am snappier
While I'm with you
I, got to be having you, 'cause I am happier
When I met you

You're my little symphonia
(Singing the weather)
I get a dogged blue ring
(Blue ooh ooh ooh)
I get a slapped back gecko
(Thought you were younger)
I get a purple string
('Cause it isn't in tune)

Beside the whistle cab
(Singing the hours)
Along a frosty roadside
(Always in time)
I get another ring
(Making me happy!)
That it'll turn me for another ride
(Up in the sky)
Woah, Oh you know, she knows, you're high

You, making me happier, while I am snappier
While I'm with you
I, got to be having you, 'cause I am happier
When I met you

Is that a dream-storm?
(Dreaming in and out of style)
I get an eight o'clock sit down
(Dreaming for the other half so I can get on down)
Out in the country fields
(Running, smiling, laughing, jumping, fun)
I feel the love of the pretty side
(Shinning on me!)

Just having fun
Jump, laugh and smile and having fun
Laugh, smile and love and get on down
Smile, love and burn and get on down

Jump, laugh and smile and having fun
Laugh, smile and love and get on down
Smile, love and burn and get on down

Jump, laugh and smile and having fun
Laugh, smile and love and get on down
Smile, love and burn and get on down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics for Sharon Jones The Dap-Kings’s song “Inspiration Information” are a mix of poetic nonsense and enigmatic imagery. The song is an uptempo funk track with an infectiously upbeat melody that encourages listeners to join in with the fun. Some have suggested that the lyrics are about the highs and lows of a relationship or the ups and downs of life in general. The lyrics are full of whimsy, with lines like “Here’s a pencil pack, I’m gonna spare some information” and “Is that a dream-storm? Dreaming in and out of style.”
