(Doin' it right, doin' it right)
The blues band's cookin' and the drummer's burnin' down
(Doin' it right on the wrong side of town)
I know a place on the wrong side of town
The blues band's cookin' and they're gettin' on down
Sax man plays like his soul's on fire
Movin' like a rumour on a telephone wire
Rev up the Chevy, put your gas foot down
They're doin' it right on the wrong side 'o town
(Doin' it right, doin' it right)
(Doin' it right, doin' it right)
The blues band's cookin' and the drummer's burnin' down
(Doin' it right on the wrong side of town)
There ain't no future datin' magazine girls
Take me to the club with the hot-blooded thrill
No time for tears, trouble, sorrow
When the girls boogie-woogie like there's no tomorrow
Turn off the tube, put your magazine down
They're doin' it right on the wrong side of town
(Doin' it right, doin' it right)
(Doin' it right, doin' it right)
The blues band's cookin' and the drummer's burnin' down
(Doin' it right on the wrong side of town)
(Doin' it right on the wrong side of town)
Well, I know a place on the wrong side of town
The blues band's cookin' and they're gettin' on down
Sax man plays like his soul's on fire
Movin' like a rumour on a telephone wire
Rev up the Chevy, put your gas foot down
They're doin' it right on the wrong side of town
(Doin' it right, doin' it right)
(Doin' it right, doin' it right)
The blues band's cookin' and the drummer's burnin' down
(Doin' it right on the wrong side of town)
(Doin' it right, doin' it right)
(Doin' it right, doin' it right)
The blues band's cookin and the drummer's burnin' down
(Doin' it right on the wrong side of town)
(Doin' it right, doin' it right)
