(T.M.) U gotta have something on the bottom if U want
to have a band
(Will) Gotta have a strong foundation if U gonna make
a stand
(Alvin) The bass is center solid as a rock
(Christian) When your body starts moving U know U just
can't stop
(Vic) It's played with the soul not just with the
hands
(John) By the best bass players in the land
(Alvin) When the bass starts thumpin' sho 'nuff hits
the spot
(Rhonda) And I hope it never stops
Stanley Clarke, I tip my hat to U
Jaco Pastorius, U know I love U too
Larry Graham, thank U for all U do
Just thumpin' on the bass, just thumpin' on the bass
ow yeah, I'm just thumpin' on the bass
(Steve) Bass players used tobe the one standing in the
back
(Bill) When Jaco first played "Donna Lee", it sho'
changed that
(Alvin) When I first saw Stanley Clarke my jaw hit the
floor
(Christian) Bootsy Collins playing "Sex Machine" just
give me some mo'
(T.M.) Larry Graham, thank U man, for playing that
thumb
(Gary/John) Louis Johnson, Marcus Miller, U gotta give
them some
(Oteil) Anthony Jackson, Paul McCartney, Chuck Rainey,
Willie Weeks
(Rhonda/Alvin) I wanna thank U all for making it
speak
Bootsy Collins, I tip my hat to U
Marcus Miller, U know I love U too
James Jamerson, thank U for all U do
Just thumpin' on the bass, just thumpin' on the bass
ow yeah, I'm just thumpin' on the bass
(Alvin) The bass, the bottom, low down funky nasty,
How low can U go? Bass Line. The Bassment.
Oh yeah.
