I said, Shotgun!
Shoot 'em 'fore they run now
Do the jerk, baby
Do the dirty now
Hey

Put on your red dress
And then you go downtown now
I said, Buy yourself a shotgun now
We're going to break it down baby now
We're going to load it up baby now
Oh can you shoot 'em 'fore they run now

I said, Shotgun!
Shoot 'em 'fore they run now
Do the jerk, baby
Do the dirty now
Hey

Shotgun!
Shoot 'em 'fore they run now
Do the jerk, baby
Do the dirty now
Hey

Put on your high heel shoes
I said we're going down here listen to 'em play the blues
We're gonna dig potatoes
We're gonna pick tomatoes

I said, Shotgun!
Shoot 'em 'fore they run now
Do the jerk, baby
Do the dirty now
Hey

I said it's twine time
I said it's twine time
I said it's twine time
Hey, look at that

There's a cleaner and better-sounding version of this on Qobuz.

Great song, but had to check to see if my headphones were on the fritz - they weren't. Either a bad recording, or bad source then.

A bunch of us went to a Foreigner concert (i know, don't ask) just to hear that Sax solo. We rushed the stage just as Junior started to wail. And got dragged backwards out of the show by security while Junior did his thing. Ahhhhh memories.

Whew.... finally something more like music to my ears. I feel like I've had industrial strength Draino(with a beat) pouring into my head for a few songs here.

Soul sax perfection. Living proof that Motown wasn't all cookie-cutter assembly-line music; the All Stars were a self-contained band with an authentic gutbucket sound. Honk honk! It should be pointed out that this upload of "Shotgun" was drawn from this (definitive) collection... ...and not the one pictured.
