In the Basement - Part. 1 Songtext
von Etta James & Sugar Pie DeSanto

Oh, now tell me where can you party, child
All night long?
(In the basement, down in the basement, yeah)
Oh, where can you go
When your money gets low?
(In the basement, down in the basement)
And if a storm is taking place
You can jam and still be safe
(In the basement, down in the basement)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


Where can you dance
To any music you choose?
(In the basement, down in the basement)
Oh, you got the comforts of home
A nightclub too
(In the basement, down in the basement)
There′s no cover charge or fee
And the food and drinks are free
(In the basement)
Going down
(Down in the basement)
In the basement

(In the basement)
That's where it′s at
(In the basement)
That's where it's at
(In the basement)
That′s where it′s at
Oh, in the basement
(In the basement)
That's where it′s at
(In the basement)
(In the basement)
Oh, you tell'em


Where they don′t check you age
At the door
(In the basement, down in the basement)
Barracuda and jerk
Til your feet get sore
(In the basement, down in the basement)
Do any dance you want to do
There's no one under you
(In the basement, down in the basement)

Oh, you better watch out
(In the basement, that′s what is it)
Oh, wanna go down in the basement
(In the basement, that's what is it)
I wanna go down, down, down, down
Till you watch I wanna go down down, down for
(In the basement, that's what is it)
In the basement
Yeah, going down in the basement
(In the basement, that′s what is it)
(In the basement, that′s what is it)
