Original London Cast - Can't Keep It Down - From The Musical " Fame" lyrics

You know what it's like When you wake up in the mornin' and it's hard Standin' up straight at attention Like the changin' of the guard? Or how it is in a p**no shop When you put you quarter in the slot And you try to look cool So nobody knows that you're hot? You go to a club and you're high On some fine marijuana And the singer of the band Copped all of her moves from Madonna ... and you wanna Or late at night, you're home in bed alone And it's cold out And put your hand where it's warm While you open up Miss January's fold-out Well, that's how it is, when she's around And I can't, no I can't I can't keep it down! I can't keep it down when that girl's around I can't keep it under my control I can't k-k-keep it down, no, no I can't! I wanna, I wanna, I wanna rock and roll! I'm thinkin' 'bout the time in my life When I first learned what cryin' was The first time I ever had to come face to face With what dyin' was The relatives gathered all in black To mourn for my great aunt Juanita When who comes through the door to pay her respects But our cousin Conchita The tears in her eyes only made them look Even more Spanish As I watched her I swear I could feel the floor Under me vanish She goes to them all, then she fin'ly Comes over to me And she kisses my cheek and I lower my eyes I can hardly believe what I see! 'Cause I'm lookin' down the front of her gown And I can't, no, I can't I can't keep it down! I can't keep it down when that girl's around I can't keep it under my control I can't k-k-keep it down, no, no I can't! I wanna, I wanna, I wanna rock and roll! Rock and roll!
