Do you know that some folks know about it, some don't
 Some will learn to shout it, some won't
 But sooner or later baby, here's a ditty
 Say you're gonna have to get right down to the real nitty gritty
 Now let's get right on down to the nitty gritty
 Now one, two nitty gritty
 Now yeah, mmm, nitty gritty now
 Ooooowee, right down to the real nitty gritty
 Ooooowee, can you feel it double beatin', I keep repeatin
 Get right down to the real nitty gritty
 Say it again double beatin'
 Get on down, we gotta get right down to the real nitty gritty
 Let's get, let's get right on down to the real nitty gritty
 It's all right, it's all right
 Get on down, get on down
 Get right down to the real nitty gritty
 Listen to me now
 Oooowee, ooowee
 Come on and let the good times roll
 Let the music sink down in to your soul
 Double beatin', keep repeatin'
 You gotta get right down to the realy nitty gritty
 Get on down, get on down
 Talkin' about the nitty gritty
 Get on down, get on down
