Howlin'

There was a howlin', screamin' demon

Blastin' out of Mexico

You could hear it from the Rio to the Hudson Bay

It was powered by rock 'n' roll

Now when I heard that smokestack lightnin'

On a transistor glowin' in the dark

It was poundin' and a-rumblin' and a-tumblin' under covers

Got way deep up inside my heart

I said ah-ooh on the radio

Ah-ooh

It scared the hell out of your mama and your daddy

Must be bad business pumpin' in that beat

'Cause ain't a kid in the world can resist it

That boogaloo went up and down the street

I said ah-ooh on the radio

Ah-ah-ooh out of Mexico

Ah-ooh

I know some folks think I'm headed straight to hell

Oh, but God don't curse or bless no beat far as I can tell

So turn up that chili 'til the groove gets to thumpin'

'Til everybody in this joint gets to jumpin'

So if you hear that smokestack lightnin'

On some brand new voodoo phone

It might pound and rumble, twist and shout

And wiggle down inside your soul

Might creep in and get a hold of your soul

I said ah-ooh on the radio

Ah-ah-ooh out of Mexico

I said ah-ooh, get up inside your soul

Ah-ooh

I said ah-ooh on the radio

Ah-ah-ooh out of Mexico

I said ah-ooh, get up inside your soul

Ah-ooh

I said ah-ooh

I said ah-ooh

Yeah
