Caro Emerald - Back It Up lyrics
[Caro Emerald - Back It Up lyrics]
New Orleans, 1951 a bar full
Of genius players, double dealing
Sweet talking players with more on
Their mind than numbers
Converge where the hustlers lay on the
Sugar thicker than the cheap
Wine that flows in the back
Rooms of the gambling halls
Eyes shift to the white girl
Who is obviously lost
Or from out of town and as
Soon as the timpani plays
And she grabs the microphone
Her voice moves her from pariah
To princess of the pleasure
Dome a coincidence? No, not really
I can't stop shaking
The room has a groove and the floor
It's almost earthquaking uh uh
Look what we're making
History out on the floor
And it's just awaking uh uh
So get that needle in the core
Scratch that back and gimme more
You know 'zactly what I came here for
Back it up and do it again
From the middle to the top to the end
Ba dlun dla dla doday ba dlun dla dla doday
Back to the middle to the front to the end
Za dlun dla dla doday
Everybody ba dlun doday
I don't care if he's a friend
From the front to the middle to
The back to the end
Back, back, back, back it up (I wanna, uhuh)
Back, back, back, back it up (I wanna, uhuh)
Back, back, back, back it up (I wanna, uhuh)
Back it up and do it again
Back, back, back, back it up (I wanna, uhuh)
Back, back, back, back it up
(I wanna, uhuh, uhuh)
Back, back, back, back it up
(I wanna, uhuh, uhuh)
Gimme some of that funky
The kind that the Duke used to play
And make it more swingy heyey
And then give me some horny
You know the bub-pu ba bub-pu ba bay
Come on, give it to me hmm hmm
Slam that bass and make it sing
Give those strings that rip 'n' zing
You know 'zactly what I came here for
Back it up and do it again
From the middle to the top to the end
Ba dlun dla dla doday ba dlun dla dla doday
Back to the middle to the front to the end
Za dlun dla dla doday
Everybody ba dlun doday
I don't care if he's a friend
From the front to the middle to
The back to the end
Back, back, back, back it up (I wanna, uhuh)
Back, back, back, back it up (I wanna, uhuh)
Back, back, back, back it up (I wanna, uhuh)
Back it up and do it again
Back, back, back, back it up (I wanna, uhuh)
Back, back, back, back it up
(I wanna, uhuh, uhuh)
Back, back, back, back it up
(I wanna, uhuh, uhuh)

Uh uh, uhuhumm you, you can do it again
Do do do do eh do do it again
A-again-a-a-gain-a-again you can do it again
Get that needle in the core
Scratch that back and gimme more
You know exactly what I came here for
Back it up and do it again
From the middle to the top to the end
Ba dlun dla dla doday ba dlun dla dla doday
Back to the middle to the front to the end

Everybody ba dlun doday
I don't care if he's a friend
From the front to the middle to
