The Real Thing
(Chip Taylor)
I was on a bus comin' back to us
From Atlanta in '53
And I picked up a rhythm and blues magazine
Layin' underneath my seat
And I found out the stuff they'd been playin' us
Wasn't made from grits and bone
And it would take more than the Crew Cuts
And Pat Boone to take me home.
I want the real thing
Give me the real thing
Make it loud, I'll make you proud
Or the songs they'd sing
I don't want you under my roof with your 86 proof
Watered down ''til it tastes like tea
You're gonna pull my string
Make it the real thing for me.
I remember old Elvis when he forgot
To remember to forget
And when young Johnny Cash
Hadn't seen this side of Big River yet
And when sun was more than daylight
Shinin'on Memphis, Tennessee
And old Luther and Lewis and Perkins was pickin
And playin' them songs for me.
I want the real thing
Give me the real thing
Make it loud I'll make you proud
Of the songs they'd sing
I don't want you under my roof with your 86 proof
Watered down 'til it tastes like tea
You're gonna pull my string
Make it the real thing for me.
--- Instrumental ---
I want the real thing
Give me the real thing
Make it loud I'll make you proud
Of the songs they'd sing
I don't want you under my roof with your 86 proof
Watered down 'til it tastes like tea
You're gonna pull my string
Make it the real thing for me.
You're gonna pull my string
Make it the real thing for me...

Make it the real thing for me...
You're gonna pull my string
Make it the real thing for me.
You're gonna pull my string
Watered down 'til it tastes like tea
I don't want you under my roof with your 86 proof
Of the songs they'd sing
Make it loud I'll make you proud
Give me the real thing
I want the real thing

Watered down 'til it tastes like tea
I don't want you under my roof with your 86 proof
Of the songs they'd sing
Make it loud I'll make you proud
Give me the real thing
I want the real thing
And playin' them songs for me.
And old Luther and Lewis and Perkins was pickin
Shinin'on Memphis, Tennessee
And when sun was more than daylight
Hadn't seen this side of Big River yet
