《Getting Ready to Get Down》歌词

[00:00:00] Getting Ready To Get Down-Josh Ritter

[00:00:17] Mama got a look at you

[00:00:18] and got a little worried

[00:00:19] Papa got a look at you

[00:00:21] and got a little worried

[00:00:22] Pastor got a look and said,

[00:00:23] "Ya'll had better hurry"

[00:00:24] Send her off to a little

[00:00:25] bible college in Missouri

[00:00:26] And now you come back sayin'

[00:00:27] you know a little bit about

[00:00:29] Everything they ever seemed

[00:00:30] to hope you'd never figure out

[00:00:31] Eve ate the apple 'cause the apple was sweet

[00:00:33] What kinda god would ever keep a girl

[00:00:34] From getting what she needs?

[00:00:37] And I'm getting ready to get down

[00:00:39] Getting ready to get down

[00:00:41] Getting ready to get down

[00:00:44] Now people cross the street

[00:00:45] when you walk in their direction

[00:00:46] Talk between their teeth throwin' epithets

[00:00:49] And the doctor thinks a devil

[00:00:50] musta got you by your senses

[00:00:51] But to live the way you please

[00:00:52] doesn't sound like possession

[00:00:53] Four long years studyin' the Bible

[00:00:55] Infidels, jezebels, salomes, and delilahs

[00:00:58] Back off the bus in your own home town

[00:01:00] Sayin' you didn't like me

[00:01:01] then probably won't like me now

[00:01:04] But I'm getting ready to get down

[00:01:06] Getting ready to get down

[00:01:08] Getting ready to get down

[00:01:11] The men of the country club

[00:01:12] The ladies of the 'xilliary

[00:01:13] Talkin' 'bout love

[00:01:14] Like it's apple pie and libery

[00:01:15] To really be a saint

[00:01:16] You gotta really be a virgin

[00:01:18] Dry as a page of the

[00:01:19] King James Version

[00:01:20] No ohh la la's, no oh yesses yesses

[00:01:22] No I can't waits I got to see you againses

[00:01:24] Turn your other cheek and take no chances

[00:01:27] Jesus hates your high school dances

[00:01:47] They said your soul needed savin'

[00:01:48] so they sent you off to bible school

[00:01:49] But you know a little more than

[00:01:50] they were sure was in the golden rule

[00:01:52] Be good to everybody,

[00:01:52] be a strength to the weak

[00:01:54] A joy to the joyful,

[00:01:55] the laughter in the grief

[00:01:56] And give your love freely

[00:01:57] to whoever that you please

[00:01:58] Don't let nobody tell you 'bout

[00:01:59] who you oughta be

[00:02:00] And when you get damned

[00:02:01] in the popular opinion

[00:02:03] It's just another damn of the damns

[00:02:04] you're not giving

[00:02:07] I'm getting ready to get down

[00:02:09] Getting ready to get down

[00:02:11] Getting ready to get down

[00:02:14] Mama got a look at you

[00:02:15] and got a little worried

[00:02:16] Papa got a look at you

[00:02:17] and got a little worried

[00:02:18] Pastor got a look and said,

[00:02:19] "Ya'll had better hurry"

[00:02:21] Send her off to a little

[00:02:22] bible college in Missouri

[00:02:23] And now you come back sayin'

[00:02:24] you know a little bit about

[00:02:25] Everything they ever seemed

[00:02:26] to hope you'd never figure out

[00:02:27] The Red Sea, the Dead Sea,

[00:02:28] the Sermon on the Mount

[00:02:29] If you wanna see a miracle watch me get down

[00:02:34] Cause I'm getting ready to get down

[00:02:36] Getting ready to get down

[00:02:38] Getting ready to get down

[00:02:42] Cause I'm getting ready to get down

[00:02:45] Getting ready to get down

[00:02:47] Getting ready to get down
