Bass Tribute (Reprise) Songtext
U gotta have something on the bottom if u want have a band
gotta have a strong foundation if u gonna make a stand
the bass is the center solid as a rock
when ur body starts moving u know u just can't stop
it's played with the soul not just with the hands
by the best bassplayers in the land
when the bass starts thumpin' sho 'nuff hits the spot
and i hope it never stops

STANLEY CLARKE, i tip my hat to u
JACO PASTORIUS, u know i love u too
LARRY GRAHAM, thank u for all u do

just thumpin' on the bass, just thumpin's on the bass
ow yeah, i'm just thumpin's on the bass

bass player used to be the one standing in the back
when JACO played \"donna lee\", it sho' changed that
when i first saw STANLEY CLARKE my jaw hit the floor
aw, BOOTSY COLLINS playing \"*** machine\" just give me some mo'
LARRY GRAHAM, thank u man, for play that thumb
LOUIS JOHNSON, MARCUS MILLER, u gotta give them some
ANTHONY JACKSON, PAUL McCARTNEY, CHUNK RAINEY, WILLIE WEEKS
i wanna thank u all for making a speak

BOOTSY COLLINS, i tip my hat to u
MARCUS MILLER, u know i love u too
JAMES JAMERSON, thank u for all u do

just thumpin' on the bass, just thumpin's on the bass ow yeah, i'm just thumpin's on the bass

the bass, the bottom, low down funky nasty
how can u do? bassline, the bassment, oh yeah~

what 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
ROBERT WILSON

STANLEY CLARKE, i tip my hat to u
JACO PASTORIUS, u know i love u too
LARRY GRAHAM, thank u for all u do

and to all the other masters of the low-end
thanx fo doing what u do
we love u and we haven't fogotten
