Can't Keep It Down (From The Musical " Fame")

You know what it's like

When you wake up in the mornin' and it's hard

Standin' up straight at attention

Like the changin' of the guard

Or how it is in a porno shop

When you put you quarter in the slot

And you try to look cool

So nobody knows that you're hot

You go to a club and you're high

On some fine m*******a

And the singer of the band

Copped all of her moves from Madonna and you wanna

Or late at night you're home in bed alone

And it's cold out

And put your hand where it's warm

While you open up Miss January's fold out

Well that's how it is when she's around

And I can't no I can't

I can't keep it down

I can't keep it down when that girl's around

I can't keep it under my control

I can't k k keep it down no no I can't

I wanna I wanna I wanna rock and roll

I'm thinkin' 'bout the time in my life

When I first learned what cryin' was

The first time I ever had to come face to face

With what dyin' was

The relatives gathered all in black

To mourn for my great aunt Juanita

When who comes through the door to pay her respects

But our cousin Conchita

The tears in her eyes only made them look

Even more Spanish

As I watched her I swear I could feel the floor

Under me vanish

She goes to them all then she fin'ly

Comes over to me

And she kisses my cheek and I lower my eyes

I can hardly believe what I see

'Cause I'm lookin' down the front of her gown

And I can't no I can't

I can't keep it down

I can't keep it down when that girl's around

I can't keep it under my control

I can't k k keep it down no no I can't

I wanna I wanna I wanna rock and roll

Rock and roll
