Rip This Joint (Live / Forest National Arena, Brussels / 17/10/73) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Papa says yes, Mama 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]
Rip 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!
Oh, yeah!

[Verse 2]
Mister President, Mister Immigration Man
Let me in, sweetie, to this fair land
I'm Tampa bound and Memphis too
Short Fat Fanny is on the loose

Rip this joint, going to get down low
Move right across into Buffalo
Dick and Pat in ole D.C.,
Well they're going to hold some shit for me

Ying yang, you're my thing
Oh, now, baby, won't you hear me sing
Flip Flop, fit to drop
Come on baby, won't you let it rock?
[Sax solo]
Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!

From San Josе down to Santa Fe
Kiss me quick, baby, won'tcha make my day?
Down to Nеw Orleans with the Dixie Dean
Across to Dallas, Texas with the Butter Queen

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Wham, bam, Birmingham
Alabama don't give a shit
Little Rock
Ah, let it rock

[Guitar solo]

?
Whoo
All right all right all right yeah

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 [?]
