Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're gonna play you a song, a little bit of rock-n-roll
You gotta let yourself go, the band's gonna take control

We'll pick you up and take you away
Get down tonight

Smokin', smokin'
We're cookin' tonight, just keep on tokin'

Get your feet to the floor, everybody rock and roll
You've got nothing to lose just the rhythm and blues, that's all, yeah
