Nitty Gritty lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stray hungry dog, stealing meat from a garbage can
He don't get what he wants, gets it when he can
City streets full of creeps, I'm knee-deep in sc*m
I feel like Christ on the cross with a loaded gun

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, kick me like a horse now, honey
Oh, bite me like a dog, yeah
Scratch me till I bleed now, sugar
Don't you ever stop

[Chorus]
Girl, we gonna shake some, some action
Girl, we gonna shake some, some action
Girl, we gonna get right down to the real nitty gritty
Get right down to the real nitty gritty

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, kick me like a horse now, honey
Oh, bite me like a dog, yeah
Scratch me till I bleed now, sugar
Don't you ever stop
[Chorus]
Girl, we gonna shake some, some action
Girl, we gonna shake some, some action
Girl, we gonna get right down to the real nitty gritty
Get right down to the real nitty gritty, get down
Get down, man

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Girl, we gonna shake some, some action
Girl, we gonna shake some, some action
Girl, we gonna get right down to the real nitty gritty
Get right down to the real nitty gritty

[Verse 3]
If you're gonna preach how to live, ya gotta live how ya preach each day
Don't sell your soul, honey, don't give it all away
Crash a plane, go insane, burn the palace down
Roll the dice, bet your life, I'll be coming 'round

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll kick you like a horse now, honey
I'll bite you like a dog
I'll kiss you black and blue now, sugar
I won't ever stop, yeah
[Chorus]
Girl, we gonna shake some, some action
Girl, we gonna shake some, some action
Girl, we gonna get right down to the real nitty gritty
Get right down to the real nitty gritty
Get down, man

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Girl, we gonna shake some, some action
(Get right down to the real nitty gritty)
Girl, we gonna shake some, some action
(Get right down to the real nitty gritty)
Girl, we gonna shake some, some action
(Get right down to the real nitty gritty)
Girl, we gonna shake some, some action
(Get right down)
