[Intro]

Turn it up, man


[Verse 1]

I get up around 7

Get outta bed around 9

And I don't worry about nothin', no

Because worrying's a waste of my fuckin' time


[Verse 2]

Show usually starts around 7

We go on stage around 9

Get on the bus about 11

Sippin' a drink and feelin' fine


[Chorus]

We've been dancin' with Mr. Brownstone and

He's been knockin' and

He won't leave me alone

No, no, no, woah, he won't leave me alone


[Pre-Chorus]

But I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do it

So the little got more and more

I just kept tryna get a little better

Said, a little better than beforе

I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do it

So thе little got more and more

Just kept tryna get a little better

Said, a little better than before


[Chorus]

We've been dancin' with Mr. Brownstone, and

He's been knockin'

He won't leave me alone

No, no, no, he won't leave me alone

Oh


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 3]

Now I get up around whenever

I used to get up on time

But that old man, he's a real motherfucker

Gonna kick him on down the line


[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do it

So the little got more and more

I just kept tryna get a little better

Said, a little better than before

I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do it

So the little got more and more

I just kept tryna get a little better


[Chorus]

Said, a little better than before

We've been dancin' with Mr. Brownstone, and

He's been knockin'

He won't leave me alone

No, no, no, he won't leave me alone

Ow


[Post-Chorus]

Ooh, leave me alone


[Outro]

Stuck it in the bundle and I shot it in the middle

And it drove outta my mind

I shoulda known better, said, I wish I never met her

Said, I leave it all behind

Yowza

Oh

Gimme the light

Phil

Alright

Not to be an asshole

But the people up here are getting really fucking smashed

"Ooh, it's real cool"

It's not real cool when people are passin' out and shit

And I'm lookin' out at a lot a people in pain

So how 'bout, starting from the back

Everybody try to take a step back

Because we don't need people passin' out and havin' to go to the hospital, here

We're gonna have a good time tonight

Can we get a little house light, just a little bit, make sure this happens?

'Cause I've already seen, like, too many people carried out, right from fuckin the get-go

The show just started

Don't worry, we're gonna play for a fuckin' while tonight

Phil, what about some lights?

Now let's try this

Just start in the back

Try to take step back

Come on

Thank you
