Icehouse – Taking The Town lyrics
Hah

They say there's only one tonight
Oh yeah we're gonna make some changes, mmm-hmmm
Those boys are gonna shake their spades tonight
Raise the doubt yeah, re-arranger... Re-arranger...
So if you think it's safe, yea you think it's fine, well you better think again
Because we're coming out, oh yeah we're coming out
We're gonna turn it all upside down

Oh yeah we're taking this town (nah nah nah nah)
Oh yeah (nah nah nah nah)
Oh no we're taking this town, town (nah nah nah nah)
Hmmm yeah, (nah nah nah nah)
We're gonna take this town (nah nah nah nah)
Oh oh yeah (nah nah nah nah) oh oh [Like this town? Ha ha ha]

Well it's a kind of a crazy game, it has no face and it has no name
And it's the sign of the drums, yeah, cha cha, cha cha cha cha
And I'm here to take this town
Get off the street when you hear the sound, yeah
'Cause they're singing the songs, yeah, cha cha cha
So you better step aside tonight
We don't have the time for strangers... Time for strangers
Nobody's gonna keep us down tonight
As for love, we live in danger... Danger
You know the time is now, yes the time is right to get this city straight
If you think it's strange, well that's your problem man
'Cause you're just a little late

Yeah we're taking this town (nah nah nah nah)
Oh yeah (nah nah nah nah)
We're gonna take this town (nah nah nah nah)
Hmmm yeah, (nah nah nah nah)
We're gonna take this town (nah nah nah nah)
Oh yeah (nah nah nah nah)
We're gonna take this town, town, town (nah nah nah nah)
Oh yeah (nah nah nah nah)
Mmmm-hmmm, well we're taking this town t-town t-town town

Yeah we're taking this town (nah nah nah nah)
Oh yeah (nah nah nah nah)
Mm-hmm, taking this town town town town town (nah nah nah nah)
We're taking this town (nah nah nah nah)
Oh oh oh oh yeah (nah nah nah nah)
Well we're taking this town (nah nah nah nah) All right

T-t-town, we're taking the town (nah nah nah nah)
Yeah taking this town town (nah nah nah nah)
Oh oh yea (nah nah nah nah)
Well we're taking this town (nah nah nah nah)
Oh, one at a time (nah nah nah nah) to get what's right
Oh yeah we're taking this town...[fade]
