Straight No Chaser Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was happy but I needed something more
I didn't know exactly how I was gonna find it
Acappella I was looking for
And I searched that campus far and wide
For a sound that was for me
There was nothing I tell you
Nothing at all
And I knew that something had to be done
I needed to bring this music
To the heart of Bloomington
So I got my buddies together
The ones I knew could sing
We made ourselves into little group
It was an acappella thing
We called it
Straight No Chaser
And we're thinking
Straight No Chaser
And we're drinking
Straight No Chaser
And we're staying
Straight No Chaser
And we're playing
We're gonna give it to you
Straight No Chaser
We're gonna give it to
Straight No Chaser
We're gonna give it to you
Straight No Chaser
We're gonna give it to
Straight No Chaser
We're gonna give it to you
Straight No Chaser
We're gonna give it to
Straight No Chaser
We're gonna give it to you
Straight No Chaser
We're gonna give it to
Straight No Chaser
And we called it
Straight No Chaser
And we're thinking
Straight No Chaser
And we're drinking
Straight No Chaser
And we're staying

Amazing. And I really love the bass voices. They make most of the background music. But you're all perfect! Keep singing ^^

That was great, too! All of their stuff is great. I especially like that who ever took the video was far enough away from the audience to avoid all the piercing screams that wreck other groups' videos. Superior stuff here.
