“Getting Ready to Get Down” lyrics:

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, "Ya'll 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

Everything they ever seemed to hope you'd never figure out

Eve ate the apple 'cause the apple was sweet

What kinda god would ever keep a girl

From getting 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 throwin' epithets

And the doctor thinks a devil musta got you by your senses

But to live the way you please doesn't sound like possession

Four long years studyin' the Bible

Infidels, jezebels, salomes, and delilahs

Back off the bus in your own home town

Sayin' you didn't like me then probably won't like me now

But I'm getting ready to get down

Getting ready to get down

Getting ready to get down

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 ohh la la's, no oh yesses yesses

No I can't waits I got to see you againses

Turn your other cheek and take no chances

Jesus hates your high school dances

They said your soul needed savin' so they sent you off to bible school

But you know a little more than they were sure was in the golden rule

Be good to everybody, be a strength to the weak

A joy to the joyful, the laughter in the grief

And give your love freely to whoever that you please

Don't let noboy 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 giving

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, "Ya'll 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

Everything they ever seemed to hope 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

Cause I'm getting ready to get down

Getting ready to get down

Getting ready to get down
