Let's Get Down
Tony! Toni! Toné! DJ Quik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tony Toni Tone
And DJ Quick
You didn't think we could flip it on yo ass, huh?
Something for the dance floor
In a real way
It's going down like this forever
And a day
Now what you hear is not a drag
Cause Mr. DJ Quik got a brand new bag
But first I gotta bang bang
A boogie for the boogie
To the rhythm of the ghettoey streets
Check it out now
You trying to give me some Eight Ball
But no way
I'd rather have a Mimosa
With Crystal and O.J., yeah
Just a little something bubbly and tingly
To have me walking around naked
But wait a second
The function's on
Around midnight
What time is it
Are you inside
Available
To come and play
Give me a clue
So I don't have to
Look for you
[Chorus]
Come on let's get down, let's get down, let's get down
Come on let's get down
In my black Chevrolet
Come on let's get down, let's get down, let's get down
Come on let's get down, let's get down
Yeah, now we don't need a club
We can do it at my house
My front door's open so homey's can bust it out
And ladies if you're coming leave your children at the nursery
So you can get slow on the anniversary
Kill me
I dip dip da
So don't be looking stupid when I unfasten your bra
You know you want to mack this
Because I come stronger than the IRS
Whenever you done got delinquent on your taxes
Now here I am
Staring at you
I need a drink
You need one too
Who is your friend
She don't look nice
But I know she will
Later on tonight
Come on let's get down
[Chorus]
Now I'm at the club
And I'm off that drug
The one they call alcohol got me acting y'all
I hump two first before I hump two more
And now I'm throwing up my guts out the car door
Over consumption you know how it is y'all
Got your homey beggin' for some Pepto Bismol
But when my stomach's right I'll be back tonight
To get that lady I was grinding on the wall
Now that I feel a little better than I felt a little while ago, yeah
I'm going back to the same spot
Where I met you on the floor
Now table one, that's my folks
And table two, that's my folks
And everybody knows my name
Now table three that's B. Grund
And table four that's G-One
You best be prepared
Cause it's all a game you know
Come on let's get down, let's get down, let's get down
Come on let's get down, let's get down, let's get down
Come on let's get down, let's get down, let's get down
Come on let's get down, let's get down, let's get down
In my black Chevrolet
I gotta get my groove on (keep movin' and groovin', movin' and groovin')
I gotta get my groove on (keep shakin' that ass, shakin' that ass)
I gotta get my groove on (keep movin' and groovin', movin' and groovin')
I gotta get get my groove on (keep shakin' that ass, shakin' that ass)
I'm groovin' (say what?)
Movin' (yeah)
Yeah
[Chorus: x2]
The lyrics of Tony! Toni! Toné! and DJ Quik's song "Let's Get Down" depicts a night of partying and dancing. The song has a catchy beat that is perfect for the dance floor, and the lyrics describe the excitement of going out and letting loose. The song opens with the artists stating that they can "flip it" on the audience with something for the dance floor. Mr. DJ Quik has a new sound, and he is going to start with a boogie for the boogie. The rhythm of the streets takes over, and they invite the audience to join them on the dance floor.
The song's lyrics take the audience through a night of partying from start to finish. It starts with a call to action to get down and dance, and then it takes on the role of the party host, where the artist talks about the party at home and how inviting it is to come over. There is teasing, jokes, and flirting initially, and the conversation moves to alcohol and consuming it. A friend is pushed to take Pepto Bismol for overindulging, and the party continues. Eventually, the lyrics come full circle about returning to the dance floor, where the artist grooves and moves, and the song fades with the beat still moving.

Listen closely to what I'm saying
You trying to give me some Eight Ball

But no way
I'm not interested
I'd rather have a Mimosa
I prefer to drink something light and bubbly
With Crystal and O.J., yeah
I like my drink with Champagne and orange juice
Just a little something bubbly and tingly
I want something that will give me a light and happy feeling
To have me walking around naked
This drink will make me feel so good that I might want to dance and take off my clothes
But wait a second
Hold on a moment
The function's on
The party is starting
Around midnight
The party starts late
What time is it
Do you know what time it is?
Are you inside
Are you at the party yet?
Available
Are you free to come play?
To come and play
To come and have fun at the party
Give me a clue
Can you give me some information so I can find you?
So I don't have to
I want to find you easily
Look for you
I don't want to spend all night searching for you
Come on let's get down, let's get down, let's get down
Let's dance, let's party, let's have fun
Come on let's get down
Let's start dancing
In my black Chevrolet
Let's take this party to my car
Yeah, now we don't need a club
We can have just as much fun at my place
We can do it at my house
Let's keep the party going at my place
My front door's open so homey's can bust it out
My front door is open for anyone who wants to come in and dance
And ladies if you're coming leave your children at the nursery
If you're a mom, leave your kids at home so you can enjoy yourself
So you can get slow on the anniversary
So you can take your time and enjoy the party
Kill me
That's hilarious
I dip dip da
I have a unique way of talking
So don't be looking stupid when I unfasten your bra
Don't act surprised when I start getting intimate with you
You know you want to mack this
I know you're interested in me
Because I come stronger than the IRS
I'm confident and I know what I'm doing
Whenever you done got delinquent on your taxes
When you owe back taxes, the IRS comes after you with full force
Now here I am
I'm here and ready to party
Staring at you
Looking at you with interest
I need a drink
I'm ready for another drink
You need one too
Do you want a drink as well?
Who is your friend
Can you introduce me to your friend?
She don't look nice
I'm not interested in her
But I know she will
But I know she's interested in me
Later on tonight
At some point later in the night
Now I'm at the club
I'm back at the club
And I'm off that drug
I'm not taking any drugs anymore
The one they call alcohol got me acting y'all
Drinking alcohol has me feeling a certain way
I hump two first before I hump two more
I dance with two women before moving on to dance with others
And now I'm throwing up my guts out the car door
I drank too much and now I'm getting sick
Over consumption you know how it is y'all
I drank too much and now I'm paying for it
Got your homey beggin' for some Pepto Bismol
I need something to settle my stomach
But when my stomach's right I'll be back tonight
Once I feel better, I'll come back to party
To get that lady I was grinding on the wall
I'm coming back to find the girl I was dancing with earlier
Now that I feel a little better than I felt a little while ago, yeah
Now that I'm feeling better
I'm going back to the same spot
I'm returning to the same place I met you
Where I met you on the floor
Where we were dancing together
Now table one, that's my folks
I know the people at this table
And table two, that's my folks
I know the people at this table too
And everybody knows my name
I'm popular and well-known in this club
Now table three that's B. Grund
I know the people at this table as well
And table four that's G-One
And I know the people at this table too
You best be prepared
You should get ready
Cause it's all a game you know
Because this is all about having fun
I gotta get my groove on (keep movin' and groovin', movin' and groovin')
I need to keep dancing and enjoying the music
I gotta get my groove on (keep shakin' that ass, shakin' that ass)
I need to keep moving and shaking
I gotta get my groove on (keep movin' and groovin', movin' and groovin')
I need to keep dancing and having fun
I gotta get get my groove on (keep shakin' that ass, shakin' that ass)
I need to keep moving and having fun
I'm groovin' (say what?)
I'm enjoying myself and having fun

Yeah
[Chorus: x2]
Let's dance, let's party, let's have fun
