Backdoor Medley lyrics

I. BACKDOOR LOVE AFFAIR

Got to have you, baby, even
though you say that you don`t care.
Got to have you, baby, even
though you say that you don`t care.
Any way you want it,
settle for a backdoor love affair.

- Billy Gibbons & Bill Ham

II. MELLOW DOWN EASY

Jump, jump here, jump, jump there,
jump, jump, baby, everywhere.
Don`t you mellow down easy,
babe, you got to mellow down easy.
Don`t you mellow down easy.
Got to mellow down easy.
Don`t you mellow down easy.
Got to mellow down easy, babe.
Don`t you mellow down easy.
Got to mellow down easy.
Don`t you mellow down easy.
Mellow down easy when you really wanna blow your top.

Shake, shake here, shake, shake there,
shake, shake, baby, everywhere.
Don`t you mellow down easy,
babe, you got to mellow down easy.
Don`t you mellow down easy.
Got to mellow down easy.
Don`t you mellow down easy.
Got to mellow down easy, babe.
Don`t you mellow down easy.
Got to mellow down easy.
Don`t you mellow down easy.
Mellow down easy when you really wanna blow your top.

Shake, shake here, shake, shake there,
shake, shake, baby, everywhere.
Don`t you mellow down easy,
babe, you got to mellow down easy.
Don`t you mellow down easy.
Got to mellow down easy.
Don`t you mellow down easy.
Got to mellow down easy, babe.
Don`t you mellow down easy.
Got to mellow down easy.
Don`t you mellow down easy.
Mellow down easy when you really wanna blow your top.

- Willie Dixon

IV. LONG DISTANCE BOOGIE

Is everybody feelin` good? You makin` us feel good, too!
Now, early this morning I got on that long distance telephone
and I called my mama.
I said, `Mama, this is your boy, and I`m way down here in
New Orleans, Louisiana.`
And she said, `That`s all right, boy.`
And she turned to my papa and she said,
`Papa, our boy`s way down there in New Orleans.
We cannot let him stay out all night long.`
She did!
Long about that time, I heard my papa lean toward my mama.
I heard papa tell mama, `Let that boy boogie-woogie.`
He said, `It`s in him and it`s got to come out.`

So I went downtown.
There`s a lot of people there.
They was-a really havin` a ball.
And I felt so good.
Yes, I felt so good.
Yes, I felt so good.
Yes, I felt so good.
Yes, I felt so good.
Yes, I felt so good.
Yes, I felt so good.

Boogie, children!

Boogie, children!

- Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill & Frank Beard
