There's a party goin' on downstairs
Go tell the neighbors
Get rid of the rugs and chairs
Callin' all colors and flavors
We need some African-Americans
European-Americans
Latino-Americans, Asian-Americans
We need some Hottentots and Celts
Visigoths and Welsh
Zulus and Huns, Sweaty badass nuns
.
CHORUS: Somebody tell these ladies
............Put some jam inya jammies
............Tell the gentlemen of the jury
............Put some jam inya jammies
............Throw the landlord out, get crazy
............Put some jam inya jammies
............If ya wanna be part of the story
.
Got Miles inya face.
Sun Ra come down from space
Olatunji and his drums of passion
Prince and his kinky fashion
Celia Cruz bring the hot sauce
Bruce! the undisputed boss
JB, the godfather of groove
Batucada gonna make ya move
.
CHORUS
.
Who's all these black folks
Laughin' at the white folks dance?
People can't help if they're challenged
Just give 'em half a chance
Get all these bankers and lawyers
Stir em in a pot. Add some jalepeño
Let's see what we got
Get ya face outa the paper
We're talkin some square biz
Somebody lookin' for a sofa
Gonna tell 'em what time it is
.
CHORUS
.
Got Muddy Waters and Little Walter
Madonna spillin' wine on the altar
John Cage and a track full of silence
Laurie Anderson and big science
George Clinton gonna get us stinkin'
Joni Mitchell gonna keep us thinkin'
Shirley Caesar gonna preach the gospel
2Pac gonna get hostile
.
CHORUS
