I NEED TO RECORD THIS SONG IN A STUDIO

LYRICS + video below

 

Yeah! I’m back!

 

Yeah, I like it like that:

I like the funky bass & the funky little clav

I said yeah, I like it like that

Get a little funky on my doubleneck axe

​

Oh my God!

They said I'd never make it, but I'm makin' it right now

I'm Big Bad Rob

The baddest one-man-band, here's how:

 

Back in '99 I had a nervous breakdown

Gettin’ famous as "The Cheater" when my book came out

They booked me on Fox, they booked Bill Maher

Booked me everywhere in a limousine car

I partied in the canyons and I partied down South

Partied in Hermosa but I took it too far

Hamming up "The Scammer" trying to make a million laughs

But I wasted all my cash and my ego crashed

Oh my God!

Feeling like a loser of delusion and booze

No more bars

Gonna light a couple candles & play my guitar

 

[Guitar riff]

 

Yeah! I'm bad

I’m the baddest in the business of the one-man-bands

Yeah! Bobby’s back!

But it took me fifty years to get here…

 

Back in ’07 I got sick of the rejection

I got sick of bad gigs

I sucked at singing

It was so sick though rocking at home

It was so sick, it saved my soul

Oh my God!

I should write a little book about rocking at home

Yeah: “ROCK YOUR SOUL”

Everybody rockin ’til the dopamine flows

 

Rock, rock, rock, shake’em on down

Rock rock, yeah shake’em on down

Rock, rock, rock, shake’em on down

Shake’em on down and let it all out

 

Halloween at Tipitina's

Yeah I got a funky feeling

When the floor got slick

And I slid my sneakers

I was sliding all around

Then I thought of James Brown

I could never dance before before now I’m killin’ on the floor!

Oh my God!

I should make a pair of shoes that move this smooth

Yes! Thank you God!

Everybody gonna be movin’ so smooth

 

So I put’em on Jordans and I put’em on Vans

I put’em on Adidas yeah I put’em on Stans

I put’em on Pumas but the deal fell thru

So the Groove Revolution made our own Groove Shoes

 

Rock, rock, rock, shake’em on down

Rock rock, yeah shake’em on down

Rock, rock, rock, shake’em on down

Shake’em on down and let it all out
