Joe's Blues

[Intro] We're gon' slip on the dark shades for you this time Give you some of Joe's blues Uh-huh [Verse 1] You can't groove on dope, you can't groove on the wine If you're tryin' to catch a groove watchin' TV, man, you are wasting time Well you can do what you want, you won't get far You know the only way to groove is on a bass guitar [Verse 2] You find a loose little rhythm, then you lock in tight Yes you roll on it over and over 'til it sounds just exactly right You could learn to sing lead if you need to be a star But the only way to groove is on a bass guitar [Chorus] I said, it fills out the bottom dirty and mean It's downright greasy when the soundman's clean You know the eyes in the room, they all lookin' at the star The butts are all shakin' to the bass guitar, mmhmm [Verse 3] You could dress real cool, wear dark shades You might be sleek, sharp, and shiny just like a razor blade You drive around town in a long black car But the only way to groove is on the bass guitar [Chorus] You know it fills out the bottom dirty and mean It's downright grunge when the soundguy's clean You know the eyes in the room, they all lookin' at the star The butts are all shakin' to the bass guitar Play it for me one time, my brother [Bridge] You know my friend, the good doctor Joe [Marincek?] brought me this song He told me it was the perfect country and western song I told him it was not the perfect country and western song 'Cause it didn't mention mama, it didn't mention trucks, hell it didn't even have a country beat It's more of kind of a jazz thing and it's about bass I don't know what he's talkin' about Check him out though, he's good Joe, do somethin'! [Outro] Yes, you can do what you want Do what you want
