Prince & The Band.

Turn the lights down low...yeaaaah
How U like my band?
Tite band on a Saturday nite, what else can ya ask for?
Tite.
Tighter than a mosquito's behind.
Tite.
T-I-T-E. Tite.
Like a rimshot on a new Roots' joint - my band's tite.
Yeah, I know it too.
Au naturale pass my tape go straight 2 jail
And another thing-
When I sing black or white old hands start clappin' groovin' into the jam
Dance if U wanna, just clap your hands
Here we go yall
Prince and The Band.
Deee dum dee dum dum dum dum dum
Clap your hands 4 Prince and The Band
Deee dum dee dum dum dum dum dum
Happy - just got paid
Free from all contracts
Chillin' in the shade of the sun's light
Oooh - we got it right
Distribute your own, make a mill overnight
'Fore the tax come - quick buy some land
Don't feel nothin', just clap your hands
Don't feel nothin', just clap your hands
Here we come ya'll
Prince and The Band
Deee dum dee dum dum dum dum dum
Warner Brothers used to be a friend o' mine
Now they're just a monumental waste of time
Sell a million records make a dollar a pop
Still on recoup when your band get dropped
Gotcha on the label, but you're givin' 'em half
Expenses over top - Who's takin' a bath?
Seven years of prime life n' sold 2 your name
Is what U pay 2 keep yourself enslaved 2 that game
Whatever U can't do alone....
It ain't worth the fame.
Oooh
Umph
Oooh
Umph
Besides...
All of them get older-
But.I.Still.Look.The.Same.
Clap your hands
4 Prince and The Band.

Props to you, FruittoAttractBears, for starting this thread.
I've been asking for this song to be released since I heard it during Musicology tour. That WAS tite! Fun song.
I was holding out hope that it turned up on 3121, but no.
I hope he tosses that out through the music club or something.
Peace
