[Intro]

Well, they don't need much, you know

Somebody do a wiggle, maybe

And somebody keep time too

That's all they need to dance

Well, maybe they take their hips and shake 'em (Shake 'em)

Right, yeah, some guy maybe plays like a broken bongo drum or something

And that's all they need to dance

(One, two, three)

[Verse 1]

When it smells like rain and the clouds are black

My raggy t-shirt be on my back

I wanna walk my bike to dig the rocking gang

I wanna hear that groove, I wanna feel that twang

Well that cheap guitar, man, it's sounding thin

That saxophone sounds like the cat dragged it in

But I want it in my life

'Cause this kind of music is the kind I like

[Verse 2]

Well when it smells like rain and the clouds are grey

My raggy t-shirt been thrown away

I wanna walk my bike to dig the rocking band

Wanna kick my kickstand in the sand

That cheap guitar is sounding bad

That saxophone's worse then the last one he had

But I want it in my life

This kind of music is the kind I like

[Verse 3]

Well when you're dancing with just singing, I like that

So I left my guitar in the laundromat

This is what I like, I say I think it's great

That way you won't get bored if your bus is late

That guy's playing drums on a card table

I left my guitar in the laundry pile

I want it in my life

This kind of music, now that's the kind I like

[Verse 4]

Now when you're dancing with just nothing, I like that

So I left my shirt in the laundromat

Now this is what I like, I think it's great

That way you don't get bored if your bus is late

Now that guy's playing drums on a card table

I left my shirt in the laundry pile

And I want it in my life

'Cause this kind of music is the kind I like

[Outro]

I said that I want it in my life

This kind of music is the kind that I like
