Текст пісні
A cake without the icing, a pie without the crust
A dish without the spicing, a black glove without the lust
A bee without the honey, a tree without the leaves
A bank without the money, a lollipop without the seeds
There's no team unless you're with them
You can't play without a game
There's no dance without the rhythm
It's not a fire without the flame
Now a riddle with no answers like a log without a key
The music is a dancer, how about you and me?
Make it right down to the, real nitty gritty
Drink it right, down to the bare bone
Make it down town to the heart of the city
Find the right route to take you home
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
A field without the clover
A lawn without the grass
A limo with no chauffeur
A car without the gas
A rose without the petals
A perfume without the scent
A hero with no medals is like book without the print
The time without the season
The sun without the moon
A rhyme without a reason is like a song without a tune
A day without the sunshine
A sky without the blue
Every minute is like a lifetime that I can't be with you
We'll take it right down to the real Nitty-Gritty
Drink it right, now to the bare bone
Make it down town to the heart of the city
Find the right route to take you home
Yeah, I'll do the real Nitty-Gritty
Yeah, I do feel really gritty, yeah, yeah
We'll take it right down to the real Nitty-Gritty
Strip it right down to the bare bones
Make it count down to the heart of the city
Find the right route to take you home
Take you home
You're the real Nitty-Gritty
The real Nitty-Gritty
The real Nitty-Gritty
The real Nitty-Gritty
The real Nitty-Gritty
To real Nitty-Gritty (woah)
To real Nitty-Gritty
