Psychedelic Shack (album version) Lyrics
(Knock on door; door creaks open)
(Cheers and applause)
Hold it, everybody.
Hold it, hold it, listen.
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.
People, let me tell you 'bout a place I know.
To get in, it don't take much dough.
Where you can really do your thing, yeah, yeah, yeah. (Oh yeah.)
(Hey, hey.) It's got a neon sign outside that says,
"Come in and take a look at your mind."
You'll be surprised what you might find, yeah. (Yeah.)
Strobe lights flashing from sun up to sundown.
People gather there from all parts of town. (Oh yeah.)
Right around the corner.
You know it's just across the track.
People, I'm talking about the Psychedelic Shack.
Get back.
Psychedelic Shack, that's where it's at. (Get on down.)
Psychedelic Shack, that's where it's at. (Mmmm, hmmm.)
Psychedelic Shack, that's where it's at.
Yeah. (Oh yeah.)
You can have your fortune told.
You can learn the meaning of soul.
There ain't no such a thing as time. (And oh)
(and time) Incense in the air.
(Mmmm, hmmm.) Peace signs painted everywhere.
I can tell 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.
(Uh huh.) Let me tell you where it's at.
Right around the corner, (Oh yeah.)
Just across the track.
People, I'm talking 'bout the Psychedelic Shack.
Get psyched.
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.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Millionaires, kings and queens go there to do their thing.
You might see anybody there, yeah, yeah.
Bear skin rugs, tails, and beads. (Ooh.)
Don't really matter what you wear.
Oh, you can take off your shoes, (Uh!)
Sit on the floor.
Join in and be what you want to be.
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.
Get back.
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. (Oh yeah.)
They got a cat that's shouting the blues,
Talking 'bout paying some dues.
People walking around reciting poetry, yeah. (Ooh, ooh, ooh.)
Screaming guitars and a thousand colored lights.
People, I'm telling you, this place is really out of sight.
(Hey.) Yeah!
You can have your fortune told.
You can learn the meaning of soul.
I can tell you this place will blow your mind.
Don't you know it's right around the corner...
(Cheers and applause)
Hold it, everybody.
Hold it, hold it, listen.
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.
To get in, it don't take much dough.
