GOTTA TURN IT UP - by Ray O'Bannon


sittin' in the office tryin' to earn my dough
looked up and saw the boss's radio
he said you better keep it down, you wanna keep this job
and that's when I hit the volume knob

cuz every time I hear that rock and roll
I get a little crazy and I lose control and I...

Chorus:
gotta turn it up, that's what it's for
crank it till it rocks me to the core
gotta turn it up till it shakes the floor
and then I got to turn it up a little more

had a new apartment, I was havin' a ball
then I heard the neighbors poundin' on my wall
and I meant to turn it down but then it hit me again
and when my finger hit the button, went right to ten

cuz every time I hear that rock and roll
I get a little crazy and I lose control and I...

(chorus)

now all you gotta do to let the music flow
is hit the power button on your stereo
you paid enough for it, goodness knows
you might as well see how loud, how loud it goes

hey hey
there's nothin' like a band with a killer beat
the rythmn goes right to my feet
but it won't make me swing and sway
unless it's turned up all the way

and every time you hear that rock and roll
you can get a little crazy and lose control, but you...

(chorus)
(chorus)
gotta turn it up
gotta turn it up
gotta turn it up
gotta turn it up...
come on, man, just turn it up a little, you know, I mean
not a lot, man, just, you know, SOME, you know?
yeah, come on, it'll go up, yeah, yeah, all the way
yeah, yeah, way up, yeah
