Cold Chisel — Getting The Band Back Together

Davo's polishing an antique Strat That no musician could afford He's got himself a twin and a pork pie hat He's got himself a new jazz chord He rang up Matty, but Matty's not sure If his wife's gonna let him off the leash He says, "Matty, I'm gettin' the band back together I need you, brother, capiche?" All across town, the word's out It's all everybody's talkin' about They're Gettin' the band back together Gettin' the band back together The Mad Dog's rustled up a Tamar kit In a nitro sparkle shade of red He's bookin' 'em out, set 'em up for a hit In a corner of the back yard shed The boot shop's kitted out bass man Vince With a bad pair of snakeskin shoes His girlfriend's given him an apricot print All the better for playing the blues All that fire, and all that belly The bottom end's tighter than Byron and Shelley And they're Gettin' the band back together Gettin' the band back together Yes, they're Gettin' the band back together You know they're Gettin' the band back together Life is good with the kids all gone But it's all been too quiet, too long And they're Gettin' the band back together Gettin' the band back together Somewhere out in the great beyond Big E's singin' forever Even now that the weekend's comin' Gettin' the band back together And they're Gettin' the band back together Gettin' the band Gettin' the band back together I wanna sing it Gettin' the band back together Yes, they are Gettin' the band back together Hey (Get it back together) Gettin' the band back together Hey, hey, hey, hey Gettin' the band back together Oh, come on now Gettin' the band back together Gettin' the band back together Gettin' the band back together Together, baby Gettin' the band back together Gettin' the band back together I said they're Gettin' the band back together
