Rip This Joint (Live 1973) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mama says yes, Papa says no
Make up you mind cause I gotta go
I'm gonna raise hell at the Union Hall
Drive myself right over the wall

[Chorus]
Roll this joint, going to get down low
Start my starter, going to stop the show
Roll this joint, going to get down low
Round and round and round we go
Oh, yeah!

[Verse 2]
Right back, be right back
[?]
Flip Flop, fit to drop
Come on baby, won't you let it rock?

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 3]
San Jose down to Santa Fe
Kiss me quick, baby, won'tcha make my day
Down to New Orleans with the Dixie Dean
Across to Dallas, Texas with the Butter Queen
Rip this joint, gonna rip yours too
Some brand new steps and some weight to lose
Gonna roll this joint, gonna get down low
Round and round and round we'll go
[Verse 2]
Right back, be right back
[?]
Flip Flop, fit to drop
Come on baby, won't you let it rock?

[Instrumental Outro]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
