We're gonna play you a song, a little bit of rock-n-roll
You gotta let yourself go, the band's gonna take control.
We're gettin' down today
We'll pick you up and take you away
Get down tonight
Smokin', Smokin'
We're cookin' tonight, just keep on tokin'
Smokin', Smokin'
I feel alright, mamma I'm not jokin', yeah.
Get your feet to the floor, everybody rock and roll
You've got nothing to lose just the rhythm and blues, that's all, yeah
We're gonna feel ok
We'll pick you up and take you away
Get down tonight.
Smokin', Smokin'
We're cookin' tonight, just keep on tokin'
Smokin', Smokin'
I feel alright, mamma I'm not jokin', yeah.
Everybody jumpin', dancin' to the boogie tonight
Clap your hands, move your feet
If you don't you know it won't seem right
We're gettin' down today
We'll pick you up and take you away
Get down tonight
We're gettin' down today
We'll pick you up and take you away
Get down tonight, well alright!

I know what you mean! It's a real trip isn't it?
I love Boston and this is my fav song of theirs. The organ solo is awesome! I love to listen to this song when I exercise. It just has a "get up and get moving" feel to it.
Surprisingly my FAVORITE Boston track. We used to party hard in rock quarries to Boston; Styx; The Eagles; and the other greats of that time. With one bottle of cheap Boones' Farm wine under each arm and a doobie in the mouth, we had a BLAST. Boston will always symbolize my high school years...what a GREAT debut album (the best!).
The organ solo is vintage 70s, reminds me a bit of Seger's "Live Bullet."

yes its a great song ;) ..
niiiiiiiice song!
haha my version says 4:21 but good try lol
This song is about having a good time listening to music, but it can be interpreted as being about marijuana, with lines like "Keep on tokin'." The song also clocks in at 4:20, which is a time associated with smoking pot.
Man, it was the 70's. You can bet this was about smoking weed. I enjoyed this song (and some weed) decades ago. Where I lived at that time smoking pot was more common among high school students than drinking booze, but that didn't stop us from doing both! This song was on the best debut album EVER.

"Just keep on tokin'" words of wisdom my friends. This song has a kickass organ solo.
