And we gonna tighten it up just a little bit

And we gonna try to make it mellow

And we gonna try to make it mellow, whoa

You gonna have to catch up with me

And we gonna try to make it mellow

We gonna make it mellow, make it mellow

First tighten up on the drums right now

Come on now, drummer

Let's tighten it up now

Let's tighten it up now

Come on now, Billy
