Karaoké Getting Ready to Get Down Josh Ritter

Mama got a look at you and got a little worried

Papa got a look at you and got a little worried

Pastor got a look and said

Y'all had better hurry

Send her off to a little bible college in Missouri

And now you come back sayin' you know a little bit about every little thing they ever hoped you'd never figure out

Eve ate the apple 'cos the apple was sweet

What kinda God would ever keep a girl from gettin' what she needs

And I'm getting ready to get down

Getting ready to get down

Getting ready to get down

Now people cross the street when you walk in their direction

Talk between their teeth and throwin' epithets

And the doctor thinks a devil must've got you by your senses but to live the way you please doesn't sound like possession

It's four long years studyin' the Bible

Infidels, Jezebels

Salomes and Delilahs

Back off the bus in your own home town

Say You didn't like me then you probably won't like me now

But I'm getting ready to get down

Getting ready to get down

Getting ready to get down

All the men of the country club

The ladies of the 'xilliary talkin' 'bout love like it's apple pie and libery

To really be a saint you gotta really be a virgin

Dry as a page of the King James Version

No Ooh la la's

No Hell yes's

No I can't wait's

I gotta see you again'ses

Just turn the other cheek

Take no chances

Jesus hates your high school dances

Said your soul needed savin' so they sent you off to Bible school

You learned a little more than they had heard was in the Golden Rule

Be good to everybody

Be a strength to the weak

Be a joy to the joyful

Be the laughter in the grief

And give your love freely to whoever that you please

Don't let nobody tell you 'bout who you oughta be

And when you get damned in the popular opinion it's just another damn of the damns you're not givin'

I'm getting ready to get down

Getting ready to get down

Getting ready to get down

Mama got a look at you and got a little worried

Papa got a look at you and got a little worried

Pastor got a look and said

Y'all had better hurry

Send her off to a little bible college in Missouri

And now you come back sayin' you know a little bit about every little thing they ever hoped you'd never figure out

The Red Sea, the Dead Sea

The Sermon on the Mount

If you wanna see a miracle watch me get down

And I'm getting ready to get down

Getting ready to get down

Getting ready to get down

Ah ah I'm getting ready to get down

Getting ready to get down

Getting ready to get down
