Lay It Down

[Verse 1]

A beat on the drum, a drum on the beat

A change of the key by pinching my seat, wooh!;

A beat on the drum has got to be there

The rise in my voice, a spring on my chair

A ring on the chord, a chord on the ring

A turn of the key, the break of a string;

A ring on the chord has got to be here

The rise in my voice could sound very queer

[Chorus]

Let's lay it down on the line

Let's lay it down while it shines

Let's lay it down while it moves

Let's lay it all in the grooves

Let's play it back with attack

Let's make the window pane crack

[Verse 2]

A bend on the note, a note on the bend

The frog in my throat goes through to the end;

A bend on the note is all very fine

So let it hang on a hell of a time

[Chorus]

Let's lay it down on the line

Let's lay it down while it shines

Let's lay it down while it moves

Let's lay it all in the grooves

Let's play it back with attack

Let's make the window pane crack

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

A chase on the bass is all very fine

There's only one place - so watch for the sign

[Chorus]

Let's lay it down on the line

Let's lay it down while it shines

Let's lay it down while it moves

Let's lay it all in the grooves

Let's play it back with attack

Let's make the window pane crack

[Chorus]

Let's lay it down on the line

Let's lay it down while it shines

Let's lay it down while it moves

Let's lay it all in the grooves

Let's play it back with attack

Let's make the window pane crack
