Jamming

By Yictove

I'll be jammin on the board tonight

Jammin until the daylight

Jammin in a calculated dream

supervising a personal scheme

in florescent light.

I'll be jammin on my board tonight.

Local DJ him say,

"I don't want strictly lyrics to play."

I'll be jammin on my board tonight.

A lady in the balcony she's screamin,

"Throw a sweet kiss to me"

while I'm jammin on my board tonight.

 

Celebrate each and every day.

Joyous words you can hear me say--

Jammin on my board tonight.

 

Began jammin at a tender age.

They put my picture upon the fruit page.

Share the same philosophy,

get up and come with me.

You put the jam in overdrive

just enough to keep the jam alive.

 

If I ever go to France,

I'll step up to the mike and make the people dance

If I ever got to Hong Kong

I'll make the people chant along.

 

Jammin on my board tonight.

Jammin through sweet morning light

Jammin on your stereo

only because you want a little more.

 

Called my baby on the phone.

She said she was jammin in the Tropic Zone.

 

Jammin on my board tonight.

Jammin cause it feels just right.

Jammin on my board tonight.
