Lyrics
[Intro]
Everybody
Hold it, hold it
Listen
One, two, three, four
[Intro]
Well, well
Yeah!
Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at
Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at
Yeah!
Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at
Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at
[Verse 1]
People, let me tell you about a place I know
To get in it don't take much dough
Where you can really do your thing, oh yeah
It's got a neon sign outside that says
"Come in and take a look at your mind"
You'd be surprised what you might find, yeah
Strobe lights flashin' way till after sundown
People gather there from all parts of town
[PreChorus]
Oh yeah, right around the corner
You know it's just across the track
People I'm talking about the psychedelic shack
Ah, get down
[Chorus]
Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at (Get on down)
Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at
Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at
Yeah! (Oh yeah!)
[Verse 2]
You can have your fortune told
You can learn the meaning of soul
There ain't no such thing as
Time, time, time, time
Ah, incense in the air
Heat signs painted everywhere
I guarantee you this place will blow your mind
They got music so high
You can't get over it
So low you can't get under it
[PreChorus]
Let me tell you it's
Right around the corner (Oh yeah!)
Just across the track
People I'm talking about the psychedelic shack
[Chorus]
Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at
Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at
Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at
Yeah!
[Verse 3]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Millionaires, kings and queens go there to do their things
You might see anybody there, yeah
Bear skin rugs, tails and beads
Ooh, don't really matter what you wear
Oh, you can take off your shoes, sit on the floor
Join in and be what you wanna be
[PreChorus]
Don't you know that it's
Right around the corner
Oh yeah!
Just across the track
People I'm talking about the psychedelic shack (Ah get down)
[Chorus]
Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at
Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at
Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at
Yeah!
[Verse 4]
Oh yeah!
They got a cat there shouting the blues
Talking about payin' some dues
People walking around reciting poetry, yeah
Woo! Screamin' guitars and a thousand colored lights
People I'm telling you this place
Is really out of sight, yeah
You can have your fortune told
You can learn the meaning of soul
I guarantee this place will blow your mind
[PreChorus]
Don't you know it's
Right around the corner
Oh yeah!
Just across the track
People I'm talking about the psychedelic shack
[Outro]
They got music so high
You can't get over it
So low, you can't get under it
