Rock steady, baby, That's what I feel now
Let's call this song exactly what it is
Step and move your hips, With a feeling from side to side
Sit yourself down in your car, And take a ride
And while you're moving Rock steady, Rock steady, baby
Let's call this song exactly what it is (What it is, what it is, 

 

(what it is) It's a funky and low down feeling (What it is) In my hips from left to right
(What it is) What it is is I might be doing (What it is) This funky dance all night
Oh (Wave your hands up in the air) Oh (Got the feeling and ain't got a care)
Oh (What fun to take this ride) (Rock steady will only slide)

Rock steady, rock steady, baby
Rock steady, rock steady, baby

horn break in Dm:  gaagacgad gaagadcag gaagacgad gaagacacd cde?

 

Step and move your hips With a feeling from side to side
Sit yourself down in your car And take a ride
While you're moving rock steady, Rock steady
Let's call this song exactly what it is (What it is, what it is) 

 

(what it is) It's a funky and low down feeling (What it is) In my hips from left to right
(What it is) What it is is I might be doing (What it is) This funky dance all night
Oh (Wave your hands up in the air) Oh (Got the feeling and ain't got a care)
Oh (What fun to take this ride) (Rock steady will only slide)

 

Rock steady, rock steady, baby
Rock steady, rock steady, baby

horn break again.

Rock.   Steady.  (Broken down) x4

 

(What is is) It's a funky and low down feeling (What it is) In my hips from left to right
(What it is) What it is is I might be doing  (What it is) This funky dance all night
Oh (Wave your hands up in the air) Oh (Got the feeling and ain't got a care)
Oh (What fun to take this ride)  (Rock steady will only slide)

 

Jam “what it is.” x16  

break it down to drums  

then fairly broken down: Rock steady x8, 

then bring in “What it Is” x4 (AND END)
