A Shot of Rhythm & Blues ('81)

(Okay...)
(Hello, Mr. Tape Recorder there in the corner of the room,
listening to us...)

(Woo!)

Well, if your hands start a-clappin'
And your feet start a-movin'
And the band starts a-playin' around

And if you, swing and swayin'
When the band starts to playin'
A real total way out sound

And if you get the "can't-help-it"s
And the "can't-sit-down"s
You feel like you gotta move around

Get a shot of rhythm and blues
But get a little rock and roll on the side (yeah)
Just for good measure

Get a pair of dancin' shoes
With your lover by your side
Don't you know you're gonna have a lotta pleasure!

Don't you worry 'bout a thing
If you get the urge to swing
And chills come on up on you
And the rhythm finally gets you
Don't your feet get so blue
Well, here's the thing for you to do

Get a shot of rhythm and blues
J-J-just a little rock and roll on the side (yeah)
Just for good measure

Get a pair of dancin' shoes
With your lover by your side
Don't you know you're gonna have a lotta pleasure . . .

Get a shot of rhythm and blues
(Yeah!)
Get a pair of dancin' shoes
Get a shot of rhythm and blues
With your lover by your side
Don't you know you're gonna have — a lotta pleasure!

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Hey, hey, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah...)
(Aah!)

(Alright, you... tape recorders! Ha, ha.)
(All you people out all over the place.)
(You got problems, we got the cure, right here.)
(Cos I know you need a shot.)
(I can really tell you need a shot.)
(Oh!)
(You need a shot.)

(Ole!)

(Gettin' down to business here right on stage right.)
(The Man himself is gonna be givin' out those shots, for free!)
(On the keyboards, all the way from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania...)
(Dr. X!)

Get a shot of rhythm and blues
(Yeah-eh!)
Get a pair of dancin' shoes
Get a shot of rhythm and blues
Well, with your lover by your side
Don't you know you will have — a lot of... pleasure!

Don't you worry 'bout a thing
If you get the urge to swing
And the blues jump on up on you
Well, the rhythm gets some swing, and your feet are flyin'
Well, here's the thing for you to do
Well, here's the thing for you to do

Here's the thing for you to do!
(Listen here!) (Hey!)

(Ow!)
(That's pretty... hot.)
(Should rock.)

(Don't you have the lyrics to that song written down?)
(Yeh)
("A Shot Of Rhythm & Blues"?)
(Yeh. They're in there.)

(That's a Beatles tune, a Beatles song, isn't it?)
(They did it, yes, but they never recorded it.)
(Sounds like a Beatles song?)
(It does.)
(They should have done it.)

(Hi, Mom!)
(I just had to say that.)
