Move my feet And touch my sole Bass sound drum beat Rock`and roll Just play that music I don`t care what key it`s in Where it`s come from Where it`s been Just play that music I don`t need to see your face I don`t need no autographs I can`t play your interviews Can`t hear your photographs You don`t need to be profound In fact don`t speak Just play that sound Just play that music I`ll turn on my radio If you`ve got a great live show Just play that music If it`s hitting make it stick Do your job just play music Critics mags and interviews Who cares about bad reviews Does it have to be so tame Do I have to twist and shout Do we have to play this game Or be down and out It don`t have to look the same I keep trying to tell `em It don`t have to all sound lame I sing the song you sell `em If it`s hitting make it stick Do your job just play music If you need an ear to lend I`ve got the cash to spend Move my feet And touch my sole Bass sound drum beat Rock and roll Just play that music I don`t care what key it`s in Where it`s come from Where it`s been Just play that music Does it have to be so tame Do I have to twist and shout Do we have to play this game Or be down and out It don`t have to look the same I keep trying to tell `em It don`t have to all sound lame I sing the song you sell `em Does it have to be so tame Do I have to twist and shout Do we have to play this game Or be down and out It don`t have to look the same I keep trying to tell `em It don`t have to all sound lame I sing the song you sell `em Just play that music! Just play that music I won`t refuse it I`d like to tell ya Just play that music! Stay on that feeling Don`t you loose it Stay on the stageing Just play that music! Don`t you loose it Just play that music! Some like theYankee sound Just play that music! Sometimes from London town Just play that music! I`ve seen the that alley ground Just play that music! Sometimes from London town Just play that music!
