Bass Tribute (Reprise)

You gotta have somethin' on the bottom if you want have a band

Gotta have a strong foundation if you gonna make a stand

The bass is the center solid as a rockWhen your body starts moving you know you just can't stop

It's played with the soul not just with the hands

By the best bass players in the landWhen the bass starts thumpin' sho' 'nuff hits the spot

And I hope it never stopsStanley Clarke, I tip my hat to you

Jaco Pastorius, you know I love you too

Larry Graham, thank you for all you doThumpin' just thumpin' on the bass, just thumpin' on the bass

Auh yeah, I'm just thumpin' on the bassBass players used to be the one standin' in the back

When Jaco played, "Donna Lee", it sho' changed that

When I first saw Stanley Clarke, my jaw hit the floor

Auh, Bootsy Collins playin' sex machine baby, just give me some mo'Larry Graham, thank you man, for playin that thumb

Louis Johnson and Marcus Miller, you gotta give them some

Anthony Jackson, Paul McCartney, Chunk Rainey, Willie Weeks

I wanna thank you all for makin' it speakBootsy Collins, I tip my hat to you

Marcus Miller, you know I love you too

James Jamerson, thank you for all you doThumpin' just thumpin' on the bass, just thumpin' on the bass

Auh yeah, I'm just thumpin' on the bassThe bass, the bottom, low down funky nasty

How low can you go, bassline, the bassment? Oh yeahWhat would Stanley say if he were here today?

What would Jaco say if he were here today?

What would Larry say if he were here today?

What would Bootsy say if he were here today?What would Marcus say if he were here today?

What would Rocco say if he were here today?

Anthony Jackson, Willie Weeks

Ray Brown (walk that dog) , Robert Wilson (get it, Robert)Stanley Clarke, I tip my hat to you

Jaco Pastorius, you know I love you too

Larry Graham, thank you for all you do

Everyone, I owe it all to youCan't ya feel it in your soul?

Let the bass take control

Just thumpin on the bass, the bass, the bass

Can't ya, can't ya feel the bass?

Can you face the bass?

Thumpin' on the bassAnd to all the other masters of the low-end

Thanks for doin' what you do

We love you and we haven't forgotten
