[Chorus] 

Old songs, old songs 

Old records, and old memories

To, them old songs, olllld strong songs

And you chillin wit yo' shawty 

Whatchu gon' listen to? Whatchu gon' listen to

[Verse 2: Betty Wright] 

When you get a little older 

And your nights get a little bit colder 

Whatcha gon' cuddle to? Whatcha gon' cuddle to? 

Well it must be misty blue 

Tell me what you got on yo' menu 

Serve it up, I know that it's in you 

Serve it up, serve it up 

Serve it up serve it up serve it up 

Listen to the music that made you 

Tune in to what yo' mama played ya 

Time to celebrate, time to create before, it's too late 

Oh, go to your favorite place (Go to your favorite place) 

Speakers bumpin, bumpin that bass (Speakers bumpin that bass) 

Slow dance and what do they play? 

Betty and Teddy all up in yo' face!
