Shotgun
Allstars/Junior Walker & the All-Stars Lyrics

I said shotgun shoot 'em 'fore he run now do the jerk baby do the jerk now.
Quickly and efficiently apprehend the fleeing target by using a shotgun to shoot them and then celebrate your success with a dance called 'the jerk.'

(Hey).
Expression of excitement or emphasis on the preceding statement.

Put on your red dress and then you go down yonder.
Wear something flashy and eye-catching, then go to a particular location to draw attention to yourself.

I said buy yourself a shotgun now, were gonna break it down baby now.
Acquire a shotgun and then proceed to demonstrate its use in a forceful manner.

We're gonna load it up baby now 'a then you shoot 'em 'fore he run now.
Load the shotgun and then use it to quickly subdue the target before they have a chance to escape.

I said Put on your high-heeled shoes.
Get dressed up and ready to go out on the town.

I said we're goin' down here and I listen to 'em play the blues.
Head to a particular location to enjoy some live music.

We're gonna dig potatoes, we're gonna pick tomatoes.
Engage in some manual labor, possibly as a metaphor for the difficulties of life.

I said shotgun shoot 'em 'fore he run now do the jerk baby do the jerk now.
Repeated emphasis on the importance of quickly and forcefully apprehending the target and then celebrating with a dance.

(Hey).
Expression of excitement or emphasis on the preceding statement.
