[Spoken intro over Rhodes + hi-hat] Uh… yeah… Check it… (ha!) We gon’ find out tonight. Is your butt down?

Verse 1

Walk in the room like the bassline talk, Shoulders loose and you got that spark. Pocket so deep, let the congas play, Everybody smilin’ like it’s payday. Snap on two, let the horn line grin, Little side-step—let the good times spin. Don’t need words when the groove’s that loud, But I got one question for the whole crowd—

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel that push in your shoes? Do you hear that click in the blues? If the rhythm say “move,” what you gon’ do?

Hook / Chorus

Is your butt down? (Is your butt down?) Low to the floor when the beat come ‘round. Is your butt down? (Is your butt down?) Drop in the pocket, let it bounce—don’t frown. Is your butt down? (Is your butt down?) If you love this groove, you know how it sound. Is your butt down? (Is your butt down?) Say “uh-huh!”—now bring it on down.

⸻

Verse 2

Keys go wah-wah, guitar go chank, Drummer in the back like a riverbank. Horn section cut like a tailored suit, Make you wanna move in your Sunday boots. Slide to the left, let the lights go gold, Couple more steps and your worries get sold. Ain’t no hurry, we can take it slow— But the groove keep askin’, and I gotta know—

Pre-Chorus

Do you trust that drum to drive? Do you let that bass feel alive? When the band lean in, you gon’ lean in too, right?

Hook / Chorus

Is your butt down? (Is your butt down?) Low to the floor when the beat come ‘round. Is your butt down? (Is your butt down?) Drop in the pocket, let it bounce—don’t frown. Is your butt down? (Is your butt down?) If you love this groove, you know how it sound. Is your butt down? (Is your butt down?) Say “uh-huh!”—now bring it on down.

⸻

Bridge (half-time, smoky)

Everybody talkin’ ‘bout “high-class cool,” But the funkiest lesson is a simple rule: Bend your knees, let your heart keep time, Find that sweet spot on the one—so prime. No competition, just a family jam, If you can feel it, then you understand.

[Spoken aside] Don’t fake it… just place it.

⸻

Breakdown / Call & Response (open for solos)

Band, hit me—(hit!) Now hold that—(hold!) Now shake that—(shake!) Now fold that—(fold!)

Lead: When the bass go “DUH-duh-duh,” what you do? Crowd: Get down! Lead: When the horns go “BAH-bah-BAH,” what you do? Crowd: Get down! Lead: When I ask that question, you tell the truth— Crowd: Butt down! Butt down!

⸻

Final Hook / Outro (bigger, brighter)

Is your butt down? (Is your butt down?) All night long, let the good groove pound. Is your butt down? (Is your butt down?) On the one, on the two—feel the whole room sound. Is your butt down? (Is your butt down?) If you came for the funk, don’t sit around. Is your butt down? (Is your butt down?) Say “uh-huh!”—now bring it on down.

[Spoken outro fading] Yeah… that’s it… If the groove asked you… you answered. Butt down… butt down… (ha!)
