              Verse 
 
Em            Am 
Hey, brother, what you thinking? 
C              B 
 Leave that old record spinning 
Em           Am 
You feel the rhythm, going 
C              B 
(They call it lonely digging) 
Em             Am 
Let's end your time to lay low 
C              B 
 Your knees a-bending, so 
Em           Am 
It's time to get up and let go 
C              B 
(You're gonna come undone) 
 
 
Em         Am 
Hey, mama, how's it going? 
C              B 
Can't see your body moving 
Em               Am 
 Don't leave the party dying 
C              B 
(They call it lonely digging) 
Em           Am 
 Your booty shaking, you know 
C                 B 
Your head has no right to say no 
Em             Am                 C          B 
 Tonight it's "ready, set, go" 
 
 
Chorus 
 
             Em                      
Baby can you move it round the rhythm 
       Am        
So we can get with 'em, 
       C                   B 
To the ground and get us a rock and roll round 
    Em                    Am 
Just a downtown body body coming with a super-hottie 
C                  B 
Let's go, yes, no, hell no 
             Em     
Baby can you move it round the rhythm 
           Am                      C 
Cause you know we're living in the fast lane, speed up 
   B                   Em                           Am               C       B 
It ain't no game, just turn up all the beams when I come up on the scene 
 
 
Verse 
 
Em            Am 
Hey, brother, what you thinking? 
C              B 
 That good ol' sound is ringing 
Em               Am 
 They don't know what they're missing 
C              B 
(They call it lonely digging) 
Em             Am 
Let's end your time to lay low 
C              B 
 Your knees a-bending, so 
Em           Am                 C          B 
It's time to get up and let go 
 
 
Em            Am 
Hey, brother, nice and steady 
C               B 
 Put down your drink, you ready 
Em              Am 
 It's hard when things get messy 
C              B 
(They call it lonely digging) 
Em           Am 
 Your booty shaking, you know 
C                 B 
Your head has no right to say no 
Em             Am                 C          B 
 Tonight it's "ready, set, go"
