A four-string player
with a mean, mean, groove
the rhythmic layer
which makes the music move

Though his strings are tuned so low
and he sure won't steal the show
He's heart ot rock and roll band
with a sense of rhythmic stand
Bass player -

And what you say about his playing style
is what you really will find worthwhile
Catch the rhytym, catch the groove
Catch the music, catch the move -

The bass is the basis,
the heartbeat of the band
Always as rhythmic as wide!

Today's bass player
he plays highs and lows
and the solos he plays
are themselves a show

Yup, his grooves are really meant
to be the music's firmament
He knows the rhtythm is imminent
he'll make the guitar-ist content
The music is -

And what you say about his playing style
is what you really will find worthwhile
Catch the rhytym, catch the groove
Catch the music, catch the move -

The bass is the basis,
the heartbeat of the band
Always as rhythmic as wide!

Fender or Squier -
Today's bass player
He gets high on you,
And the energy he'll create,
He gets right on to the rock'n'roll of the day.
