The Jam
The Cadillac Three Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got a tall boy sweatin' in a camo coozy
Hey, who you flirtin' with?
Little brown-haired hippie girl walkin' up to me
Don't be scared if it gets a little funky
Cadillac back with some kick-ass country
Don't be shy, go and shake that monkey
On off your back
Whatever gets you up out of your sleep
Whatever gets you dancin' in the street
Whatever lifts you up, gets you wild and free
Yeah, that's the jam (shit)
Yeah, that's the jam (uh)
Oh, what you cookin' up?
Smells pretty good to me, sure 'nough
I said ooh, we done shook it up
If you don't know, yeah, you better look it up
It's a toe-tappin', hand-clappin' beat
Slidin' and stompin' your feet
Sounds pretty damn good to me
Turn that radio up
It's TC Three
Whatever gets you up out of your sleep
Whatever gets you dancin' in the street
Whatever lifts you up, gets you wild and free
Yeah, that's the jam (shit)
Yeah, that's the jam (uh)
If it gets you tightenin' up your laces
If it takes you through the higher places
If it gets you makin' dirty faces
That's the jam (shit)
Yeah, that's the jam
That's the jam
That's the jam
That's the jam
That's the jam
Whatever gets you up out of your sleep
Whatever gets you dancin' in the street
Whatever lifts you up, gets you wild and free
Yeah, that's the jam (shit)
Yeah, that's the jam (uh)
If it gets you tightenin' up your laces
If it takes you through the higher places
If it gets you makin' dirty faces
That's the jam (shit)
Yeah, that's the jam (uh)
That's the jam
That's the jam
That's the jam
That's the jam
That's the jam
That's the jam
That's the jam
That's the jam

The definition of frustration is discovering this band for the first time --- Living on the West Coast and seeing the closest they play to me is in Wichita, Kanas.
