[00:00.00](I Want) The Real Thing - The Hit Crew
[00:15.41]I was on a bus comin' back to us
[00:18.77]From atlanta in '53
[00:22.41]And I picked up a rhythm
[00:24.24]And blues magazine
[00:26.12]Layin' underneath my seat
[00:29.50]And I found out the stuff
[00:31.12]They'd been playin' us
[00:32.85]Wasn't made from grits and bone
[00:36.64]And it would take more than the crew cuts
[00:40.00]And pat boone to take me home
[00:43.13]I want the real thing
[00:46.75]Give me the real thing
[00:50.97]Make it loud I'll make you proud
[00:53.52]Or the songs they'd sing
[00:57.18]I don't want you under
[00:58.79]My roof with your 86 proof
[01:01.86]Watered down 'til it tastes like tea
[01:05.27]You're gonna pull my string
[01:07.03]Make it the real thing for me
[01:19.85]I remember old elvis
[01:21.62]When he forgot to remember to forget
[01:26.87]And when young johnny cash
[01:28.35]Hadn't seen this side of big river yet
[01:33.91]And when sun was more than daylight shinin'
[01:37.79]On memphis tennessee
[01:41.52]And luther and lewis
[01:43.04]And perkins was pickin'
[01:44.82]And playin' them songs for me
[01:47.62]I want the real thing
[01:50.94]Give me the real thing
[01:55.46]Make it loud I'll make you proud
[01:58.11]Or the songs they'd sing
[02:01.72]I don't want you under
[02:03.49]My roof with your 86 proof
[02:06.17]Watered down 'til it tastes like tea
[02:09.73]You're gonna pull my string
[02:11.44]Make it the real thing for me
[02:44.97]I want the real thing
[02:48.29]Give me the real thing
[02:52.74]Make it loud I'll make you proud
[02:55.45]Or the songs they'd sing
[02:58.96]I don't want you under
[03:00.74]My roof with your 86 proof
[03:03.48]Watered down 'til it tastes like tea
[03:07.03]You're gonna pull my string
[03:08.63]Make it the real thing for me
[03:14.27]You're gonna pull my string
[03:15.82]Make it the real thing for me
