Lookin' 'round for a feelin'
I love the rhythm and blues
The place was rockin' and reelin'

I thought I'd shake me loose
The band was pumpin' Motown
Lord how they could play

The girls a-started singing
Rock the night away



By the midnight hour
They could've raised the dead

They were takin' it higher
Higher, higher, higher, ringin' in my head
Lay it down, lay it down

Lay it down, lay it down



Whisky, wine and women
They get me though the night
I ain't lookin' for trouble

I ain't lookin' to fight
A little vertical persuasion
Would do me right

What I'm really needin'
Ah, double shot tonight.



By the midnight hour
We were on our way

She was takin' it higher
Higher, higher, higher, then I heard say



(chorus)
