Nitty Gritty

Stray hungry dog
Stealing meat from a garbage can
If he don't get what he want
He get it when he can
City streets
Full of creeps
I'm knee deep in scum
Feel like christ on the cross
With a loaded fun
I'll kick ya like a horse now honey
Bite me like a dog
Scratch me till i bleed now sugar
Dontcha ever stop
Girl we gotta shake some action
Girl we gotta shake some action
We gotta get right down to the real nitty gritty
Get right down to the real nitty gritty
Hipshaker
Heartbreaker
Spine cracker
Voodoo witch
You got the gold
Gonna dig dig your sugar ditch
I'll do the crime
Serve the time
Murder first degree
Cast your spell
Gimme hell
Get down on your knees
I'll kick ya like a horse now honey
Bite me like a dog
Scratch me till i bleed now sugar
Dontcha ever stop
Girl we gotta shake some action
Girl we gotta shake some action
We gotta get right down to the real nitty gritty
Get right down to the real nitty gritty
Get down
Girl we gotta shake some action
Girl we gotta shake some action
We gotta get right down to the real nitty gritty
Get right down to the real nitty gritty
If yr gonna preach how to live
Ya gotta live what ya preach every day
Don't sell yr soul honey
Don't give it all away
Crash a plane
Go insane
Burn the palace down
Roll the dice
Bet yr life
I'll be comin' round
I'll kick you like a horse now honey
I'll bite ya like a dog
I'll kiss ya black & blue now sugar
I won't ever stop
Girl we gotta shake some action
Girl we gotta shake some action
We gotta get right down to the real nitty gritty
Get right down to the real nitty gritty
Get down
Girl we gotta shake some action
