[Verse 1]
There was a howlin' screamin' demon
Blastin' out of Mexico
You could hear it from the Rio to the Hudson Bay
It was powered by rock n' roll
[Verse 2]
Now when I heard that Smokestack Lightnin'
On a Transistor glowing in the dark
It was poundin' and rumblin' and a tumblin' under covers
Got way deep up inside my heart
[Refrain]
I said awooo on the radio
Awooo-ooh-ooh
[Verse 3]
It scared the hell out of your momma and your daddy
Must be that business pumping in that beat
'Cause ain't a kid in the world can resist it
They [?] up and down the street
[Refrain]
I said awooo on the radio
A-awooo out of Mexico
Awooo-ooh-ooh
[Bridge]
I know some folks think I'm heading straight to hell
Oh but God don't curse or bless no beat as far as I can tell
So turn up that [?] 'til the groove gets to pumping
'Til everybody in this joint gets to jumpin'
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
So if you hear that Smokestack Lightin'
On some brand new hoodoo phone
It might pound and rumble, twist and shout
Wiggle down inside your soul
Might creep in and get a hold of your soul
[Outro]
I said awooo on the radio
A-awooo out of Mexico
I said awooo get up inside your soul
Awooo-ooh-ooh
I said awooo on the radio
A-awooo out of Mexico
I said awooo get up inside your soul
Awooo-ooh-ooh
I said awooo-ooh-ooh
