Yeah, mmm, yeah

Do you know that some folks know about it, some don't

Some will learn to shout it, some won't

But sooner or later baby, here's a ditty

Say you're gonna have to get right down to the real nitty gritty

Now let's get right on down to the nitty gritty

Now one, two nitty gritty

Now yeah, mmm, nitty gritty now

Ooooowee, right down to the real nitty gritty

Ooooowee, can you feel it double beatin', I keep repeatin

Get right down to the real nitty gritty

Say it again double beatin'

Get on down, we gotta get right down to the real nitty gritty

Let's get, let's get right on down to the real nitty gritty

It's all right, it's all right

Get on down, get on down

Get right down to the real nitty gritty

Listen to me now

Let the music sink down in to your soul

Double beatin', keep repeatin'

You gotta get right down to the realy nitty gritty

Get on down, get on down

Talkin' about the nitty gritty

Get on down, get on down
