INTRO [spoken]:
Well, they don't need much, you know...
Somebody just 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:
        F#                       B
When it smells like rain and the clouds are black
   F#                 B
My raggy tee-shirt be on my back
        F#                      B
I wanna walk my bike to dig the rocking gang
        F#                        B
I wanna hear that groove, I wanna feel that twang
                                   C#
Well, that cheap guitar, man, it's sounding thin
     Bbm                       Ebm
That saxophone sounds like the cat dragged it in
      B             C#
But I want it in my life
                    B                   F#
'Cause this kind of music is the kind I like


VERSE:
             F#                       B
Well when it smells like rain and the clouds are grey
   F#                   B
My raggy tee-shirt been thrown away
        F#                      B
I wanna walk my bike to dig the rocking band
      F#                B
Wanna kick my kickstand in the sand
     B               C#
That cheap guitar is sounding bad
     Bbm                        Ebm
That saxophone's worse then the last one he had
      B             C#
But I want it in my life
             B                   F#
This kind of music is the kind I like


VERSE:
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 tab-ile
I left my guitar in the laundry pile
I want it in my life
This kind of music is the kind I like


VERSE:
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 tab-ile
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

              B             C#
I said that I want it in my life
             B                        F#
This kind of music is the kind that I like
