Canned heat - jamiroquai

(words and music: kay/smith; emi music publishing; sony)



You know this boogie is for real

I used to put my faith in worship

But then my chance feels just too heaven sent

I used to worry about the future

But now i throw my caution to the wi-i-i-ind



I had no reason to be carefree

No, no, no

Until i took a trip to the other side of town

Yeah, yeah, yeah

You know i heard that boogie rhythm, hey!

I had no choice but to get down, down, down, down



Dance! whooo!

Nothing left for me to do but dance

All these bad times i'm going through

Just dance!

Got canned heat in my heels tonight, baby...

Whoooooo ohhh



I feel the thunder, see the lightning

I know this anger's heaven sent

So i've gotta hang out on my hang-ups

'cos on my boogie i feel so hell-bent hey, hey

It's just an instant gut reaction, that i got

I know i've never ever felt like this before

I don't know what to do

But then that is nothing new

Stuck between hell and high water, me i'll kill to make it through, hey!



Dance, yeah

Nothing left for me to do but dance!

All these bad times i'm going through

Just dance! hey

Got canned heat in my heels tonight, baby...



You know this boogie is for real, gal

So much canned heat in my heals, yeah

Gonna dance, gonna dance my blues away tonight

You know i'm gonna dance my blues away

You know this boogie is for real, gal

So much canned heat in my heals, yeah

Gonna dance, gonna dance my blu-u-u-es awa-a-a-y toni-i-i-ght



Dance! whooo!

Nothing left for me to do but dance

All these bad times i'm going through

Just dance

Got canned heat in my heels tonight, baby

Whoooooo ohhh



Dance, yeah

Oh the nasty things that people say

Dance, yeah

But i'm gonna make it anyway

Dance, yeah

Canned heat in my heals tonight, baby



You know that this boogie is for real

Got so much canned heat in my heals

Gonna dance, gonna dance my blues away tonight



Whooo!

You know, you know this boogie, this boogie is for real

Got so much canned heat, canned heat in my heals...
