Foot Stomp Stompin'
Steve Ripley, Jamie Oldaker, Walt Richmond, Leon Russell

Somebody said that Eddy called the local police
I saw the panic in your face--saw you get down on your knees
Saw your lips movin'--didn't know what you were sayin'
Didn't know if you were beggin'--didn't know if you were prayin'
Heard the crowd start to rumble--heard the bells start to ring
Saw the sky open up--heard the fat lady sing

Chorus

We're goin' foot stomp stompin'
We're goin' foot stomp stompin'
When the spirit starts movin'--Gets you out of your seat
Get the whole dang crowd start stompin' their feet

The Salvation Army band marched in single file
I thought you just might lose it, though I thought I saw a smile
Couldn't tell if you were jokin'--couldn't get the story straight
Did a dance we like to call the New Age Bop Hallucinate
Played an old Buck Owens record--never ever seen it fail
Got the hungrys for you love--Tiger by the tail

Chorus

You know I love you baby--don't know why you act so strange
Somebody said that Eddy said you go to make a change
Don't know why you be so mean--don't know why you be so crude
You know I love you baby--love to see you in the mood
Love to see you work the crowd--love to see you take a chance
Love to see you shake it--love to see you dance

The music' gettin' loud--the joint's completely packed
The hand is in the groove--got the boogie woogie stacked
Eddy's got the mic--screams I wanna take you higher
Drinkin' double boiler makers--gone completely haywire
You-you-you-you make me stutter--B..B...Baby, Baby, please
Half dressed...quotin' scripture... (Psalm 22,23)
singin' "Bringing In The Sheaves"

Chorus
