Erika Paul - Slap That Bass (And Make It Sing, Boy!) [Mixed Styles]Lyrics

Slap That Bass (And Make It Sing, Boy!) Words & Music by Erika Paul From the cd entitled, "Scat's My Bag" Slap That Bass! Pluck those strings Bow it with your bow And Make It Sing, Boy! The band's biggest guitar Is called the stand up bass It makes many sounds At any volume, at any pace Slap That Bass! Pluck those strings Bow it with your bow And Make It Sing, Boy! It can sound like a dinosaur singing Or a huge corn kernal when it pops! And even more surprising than this Is when you hear it play double stops Slap That Bass! Pluck those strings Bow it with your bow And Make It Sing, Boy! Sometimes it lays down the harmony Sometimes it grooves on the beat Sometimes it sings like a bird A bird with REALLY big feet! Slap That Bass! Pluck those strings Bow it with your bow And Make It Sing, Boy! A bass can get real funky A bass can really swing A bass can play it really straight Just go on and do your own thing! Slap That Bass! Pluck those strings Bow it with your bow And Make It Sing, Boy! © 2005 Erika V. Paul
