Just Call on Thumpahlenah
Whenever you want to see her
She'll make you feel much better
I think you ought to let her
Daddy put the bass in my hands
When I was 16
Mama gave me confidence
Said I could do anything
Took my bass to the churchhouse
Where I learned to play the bump
When I heard that gospel music
I couldn't get enough
Just Call on Thumpahlenah
Whenever you want to see her
She'll make you feel much better
I think you ought to let her
Just Call on Thumpahlenah
Whenever you want to see her
She's powerful like Serena
I think we'll make her QUEENah
Boys, you wouldn't let me play
You thought you'd clip my wings
I earned my seat at the table
And funk is what I bring
Breaking bread with the Graham
The bass king of kings
I'm diggin' in, I'm goin' HAM
Now Watch me thump these strings
Go Thumpahlenah Go Go Go
Go Thumpahlenah Go
Go Thumpahlenah Go Go Go
Go Thumpahlenah Go
I find my center
And slide to the next fret
No matter how low I go
Ghost notes take my breath
And When I close my eyes
I see everything I need
Thumpin and pluckin
Till everyone is set free
My bass is my canvas
The strings are the paint
My fingers, the brush
My heart is the frame
T-H-U-M-P-A-H-L-E-N-A-H
THUMPAHLENAH
