Once Upon A Time - Eric Burdon

Once upon a time when I was in high school

I was in love with a lady she treated me so cool

I was driving an Chevy '72

It had four on the floor, 120 it would do

And I remember Marvin Gaye singing

Let’s get it on

There was a war baby somewhere across the sea

I didn’t want to go to fight girl 'cause you were reall loving me

But I remember Martin Luther King

Lord he was the man baby who gave us all a dream

And I remember Marvin Gaye singing

Let’s get it on

Lord he made me so strong

I remember Marvin Gaye singing

Let’s get it on

We used to have sweet music in the park

Way up in Monterrey they sang througout the dark

And you used to wear girl that gypsy dress

When you stroll on by all the boys they want a chance

And I remember Marvin Gaye singing

Let’s get it on

He made my love so strong

I remember Otis Redding

Sitting on the dock of the bay

Oh lord he went away

I remember Sam Cooke singing

Bring it on home to me

From your love I can be free

I remember Elvis Presley and the blues suede shoes

Lord they give me the blues

I remember Marvin Gaye singing

Let’s get it on
