[Intro] Crank that dial~ Crank that dial~ Crank that dial~ Crank that dial~ Crank~ Crank that dial~ Crank Crank Crank that dial Crank Crank Crank that dial Crank Crank that dial~ Crank that dial Crank that dial Crank that dial Crank that dial Cra~ Crank that dial Dust in the groove Old tubes glow~ Room starts to move~ [Verse 1] Velvet suit Two-tone shoes Chrome ashtray Gin on the blues Strobe in the smoke Card in the case All you really need now Is that low-down bass [Pre-Chorus] Lean in closer Hear that rumble grow Shivers in your collar From your scalp to your toes Grandma’s record player Got a rocket in its face Welcome to the future Of the basic bass [Chorus] This is just the basic Basic Bass aces blow your wig Hairline doing cartwheels Basic Heartbeat hitting big This is just the basic Basic Too late to call it quits Bass aces blow your wig Knock you out your wits (hey! hey! hey! hey!) [Verse 2] Tea cup rattles Portraits tilt Champagne bubbles On your quilt Floorboards groan Like they caught a case Every chandelier’s On the side of the bass [Pre-Chorus] Hands on the wall now Feel that slow build climb Every second stretching Out the edge of time Dice in your pocket Start to shake in place ’Cause the house is betting On the basic bass Bass bass bass bass [Chorus] This is just the basic Basic Bass aces blow your wig Buttons popping off your jacket Basic Pulse about to zig This is just the basic Basic Laugh until you’re sick Bass aces blow your wig Hit you brick by brick (oh!) [Bridge] Old world splendor New world quake Teacups tremor Silverware shakes Feathers in your hair Floating out of space Blame it on the aces Of the basic bass [Chorus] This is just the basic Basic Bass aces blow your wig Basic Curtains doing backflips Basic Ceiling doing tricks This is just the basic Basic Stamp it Seal it Case History will testify To the basic bass [Outro] Powder on your collar Candlelight split You asked for just the basics Now the basics did it Hat on the floor Smile off your face Everything’s gone flying From the basic bass
