promenade streamline.
C                              G
Think I'm gonna promenade all night.

Chorus

Listen, here we are
Thinking 'bout time
When I resist here and now
And I just wanna lay my feet on a river bed instead
Can't wait any longer for the sign
I wanna get down some solid time in the water

Watch the fish in the water
B-b-b-b-b, b-b-b-b-b-b-b
Bubbles, watch the bubbles come up in the water
Promenade streamline in the water
Streamline promenade, get funky
Promenade streamline, funky as you wanna be
La da da da, da da da da (Streamline promenading)
La da da da, da da da da (Streamline streamline)
Streamline promenade, oh baby
Well, I feel alright tonight (Promenade promenade)
Streamline promenade
Hey, hey, hey (Promenade streamline)
Yeah

Chorus:
Oh, she give me moonshine whiskey
Oh, she give me southern love
Oh, she give me moonshine whiskey
Oh, she give me southern love

She give me southern love
Southern love
Southern love
Child, pure southern love
Pure southern love
Child, pure southern love
(Southern love)
Oh (Southern love)
Child, pure southern love
Oh baby (Southern love)
Oh baby (Southern love)
Ow, oh baby (Southern love)
Oh baby (Southern love)
Keep an eye out (Southern love)
Alright (Southern love)
Meet me at midnight (Southern love)
She's alright (Southern love)
In my room (Southern love)
She's alright (Southern love)
In my room (Southern love)
She's alright (Southern love)
She's alright (Southern love)
She's alright (Southern love)
She's alright (Southern love)
Oh, she give me moonshine whiskey
