Rolan Bell, Beverley Knight & “Memphis the Musical” Original London Cast -
Memphis the Musical (Original London Cast Recording)
Underground
Time to lose the day, time to head to Beale,
Where the rhythm is hot,
And the music is real.
You can do without love,
You can swear off the booze,
But everyone alive needs to sing the blues.
So time to raise some hell and get on down.
We goin' down, down underground,
(down underground, down under)
We goin' down, down, down just to hear that sound,
(down underground, down under)
We gonna dance so close, feel my breath on your skin,
It isn't quite heaven, but the closest I been,
We goin' down, down underground.
First we heard it in church,
(amen)
Then we added some gin.
(yeah, yeah)
Then we took it down here,
(we took it down here)
And added soul with sin.
We gonna jump and jive like a demon possessed,
The devil's in the music, the music is blest.
We goin' down where paradise is found.
We goin' down, down underground,
(down underground, down under)
We goin' down, down, down just to burn that sound,
(down underground, down under)
We gonna do some things that you never dared!
Ain't no white folks here, cause they too damn scared!
We goin' down, down underground.
My brother runs my life, my brother owns this bar,
He won't let me be till he makes me a star!
He gives me this mic, makes me sing all I can,
Just can't have no fun or talk to no man.
I wanna paint this town but with him
Ain't no fooling around.
We goin' down, down underground,
(down underground, down under)
We goin' down, down, down just to hear that sound,
(down underground, down under)
We gonna grope and grind, gonna hold on tight,
Gonna find true love, at least for tonight,
We goin' down, down underground.
It's a revolution of the heart and soul,
It's here to stay, ain't never gonna go,
It's a rebel cry that's out of control,
It's the birth of rock and roll!
Rock and roll,
Rock and roll,
Rock and roll!
We goin' down, down underground,
(We goin' down, we goin')
We goin' down, down, down gonna rock that that sound,
(We goin' down!)
We gonna dance and drink til the whiskey's all gone,
And pray that the preacher fogives us at dawn!
We goin' down, down underground.
We goin' underground,
Oh, We goin' underground,
We goin' underground,
Oh, We goin' underground,
We goin' underground.
Where the rhythm is hot,
And the music is real.
You can do without love,
You can swear off the booze,
But everyone alive needs to sing the blues.
So time to raise some hell and get on down.
We goin' down, down underground,
(down underground, down under)
We goin' down, down, down just to hear that sound,
