I Want That

I Want That

Lewis-Weisman, 1962 (mono), 1992 (stereo). Recorded: 01-12-61

No Pirates - Orchestra and Chorus conducted by Mike Sammes

A startling rough diamond of a cut this one with a deliciously rasping saxophone solo that threatens to take over proceedings before Kidd's strong voice returns to take control once again. This was the b-side to the R'n'B-flavoured "Hurry On Back To Love".

Got a crazy wiggle and a ponytail
Crazy little giggle of a wild female
Got me on a barel like an old tomcat
Do you hear me Alabama, I want that
I want that, oh yeah yeah yeah
I want that

Everytime I'm kissin' and I feel her touch
I feel myself a-shakin' 'cos I thrill so much
She ain't too skinny and she ain't too fat
Just the way I like a woman, and I want that
I want that, yeah yeah yeah
I want that

     You can keep your Long Tall Sally
     You can keep your Ginny Ginny here
     Well you can take your pick of any old chick
     But leave that lovin' baby for me

That'll be the night when I can guarantee
Before the night is over you'll belong to me
Go and dim the lights and baby that'll be that
Because I'll have you honey, 'cos I want that
I want that, yeah yeah yeah
I want that

(instrumental break)

     You can keep your Long Tall Sally
     You can keep your Ginny Ginny here
     Ah you can take your pick of any old chick
     But leave that lovin' baby for me

That'll be the night when I can guarantee
Before the night is over you'll belong to me
Go and dim the lights and baby that'll be that
Because I'll have you honey, and I want that
I want that, yeah yeah yeah
I want that, well yeah yeah yeah
I want that, oh yeah yeah yeah
