Canned heat - jamiroquai
(words and music: kay/smith; emi music publishing; sony)
You know this boogie is for real
I used to put my faith in worship
But then my chance feels just too heaven sent
I used to worry about the future
But now I throw my caution to the wi-i-i-ind
I had no reason to be carefree
No, no, no
Until I took a trip to the other side of town
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You know I heard that boogie rhythm, hey!
I had no choice but to get down, down, down, down
Dance! whooo!
Nothing left for me to do but dance
All these bad times Im going through
Just dance!
Got canned heat in my heels tonight, baby...
Whoooooo ohhh
I feel the thunder, see the lightning
I know this angers heaven sent
So Ive gotta hang out on my hang-ups
cos on my boogie I feel so hell-bent hey, hey
Its just an instant gut reaction, that I got
I know Ive never ever felt like this before
I dont know what to do
But then that is nothing new
Stuck between hell and high water, me Ill kill to make it through, hey!
Dance, yeah
Nothing left for me to do but dance!
All these bad times Im going through
Just dance! hey
Got canned heat in my heels tonight, baby...
You know this boogie is for real, gal
So much canned heat in my heals, yeah
Gonna dance, gonna dance my blues away tonight
You know Im gonna dance my blues away
You know this boogie is for real, gal
So much canned heat in my heals, yeah
Gonna dance, gonna dance my blu-u-u-es awa-a-a-y toni-i-i-ght
Dance! whooo!
Nothing left for me to do but dance
All these bad times Im going through
Just dance
Got canned heat in my heels tonight, baby
Whoooooo ohhh
Dance, yeah
Oh the nasty things that people say
Dance, yeah
But Im gonna make it anyway
Dance, yeah
Canned heat in my heals tonight, baby
You know that this boogie is for real
Got so much canned heat in my heals
Gonna dance, gonna dance my blues away tonight
Whooo!
You know, you know this boogie, this boogie is for real
Got so much canned heat, canned heat in my heals...
