Me and My Friend Lyrics

Me and my band put the music on to dance
Don't know the time of the day
Oh, yeah, we'd be a pain in the neck
If we couldn't get down and - twist
'Cause it depends upon a greater surround
Everything's going to get sound
Me and my band are putting it down, putting it down in the ground

Taking it easy I can play it
Play it till I'm blue in the face
Just goes to show you need a bass and a skin
If you want to get a play
I really believe, you can be - come on - funky cooking, cooking I mean
Me and my band are putting it down
Putting it down in the ground

Me and my band put the music on to dance
Don't know the time of the day
Oh, yeah, we'd be a pain in the neck
If we couldn't get down and - play
'Cause it depends upon the greatest surround
Everything going to get a bunk

Me and my band are putting it down
Putting it down in the ground
Me and my band are putting it down
Putting it down in the ground

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
