Davo’s polishing an antique Strat
|
That no musician could afford
|
He’s got himself a twin and a pork pie hat
|
He’s got himself a new jazz chord
|
He rang up Matty but Matty’s not sure
|
If his wife’s gonna let him off the leash
|
He says, «Matty, I’m getting the band back together
|
I need ya, brother, capiche?»
|
All across town, the word’s out
|
It’s all everybody’s talkin' about
|
And they are…
|
Getting the band back together
|
Getting the band back together
|
The Mad Dog’s rustled up a Tama kit
|
In a nitro sparkle shade o' red
|
He’s booking 'em out, set 'em up for a hit
|
In a corner of the backyard shed
|
The boot shop’s kitted out bassman Viv
|
With a bad pair of snakeskin shoes
|
His girlfriend’s given him an apricot rinse
|
All the better for playing the blues
|
All that fire and all that belly
|
The bottom end’s tighter than Byron and Shelley
|
And they are…
|
Getting the band back together
|
Getting the band back together, yeah they’re
|
Getting the band back together, you know they’re
|
Getting the band back together
|
Life is good with the kids all gone
|
But it’s all been too quiet, too long
|
And they are…
|
Getting the band back together
|
Getting the band back together
|
Somewhere out in the great beyond
|
Biggie is singing forever
|
Even now that the weekend’s coming
|
Getting the band back together
|
Getting the band back together, getting the band
|
Getting the band back together, I wanna tell ya they’re
|
Getting the band back together, yes they are
|
Getting the band back together, hey (get it back together)
|
Getting the band back together, hey, hey, hey, hey
|
Getting the band back together, oh, yeah
|
Getting the band back together
|
Getting the band back together
|
Getting the band back together, together, baby
|
Getting the band back together
|
Getting the band back together, I said they’re
|
Getting the band back together |
