Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move
Gon' make you sweat, gon' make you groove

Ah-ah, child, way ya shake that thing
Gon' make you burn, gon' make you sting

Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way
Watch your honey drip, can't keep away

Oh yeah, oh yeah, ah, ah, ah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, ah, ah, ah

I gotta roll, can't stand still
Got a flamin' heart, can't get my fill

With eyes that shine, burnin' red
Dreams of you all through my head

Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah

Hey, baby, whoa, baby, my pretty baby
Darlin,' make 'em do it now

Hey baby, oh, my baby, my pretty baby
Move the way you're doin' now

Didn't take too long 'fore I found out
What people mean by down and out

Spent my money, took my car
Started tellin' her friends she gon' be a star

I don't know, but I been told
A big-legged woman ain't got no soul

Oh yeah, oh yeah, ah, ah, ah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, ah, ah, ah

All I ask for, all I pray
Steady rollin' woman gon' come my way

Need a woman gonna hold my hand
Won't tell me no lies, make me a happy man

Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah

    ok, ive heard about the whole Lord of the Rings relations and whatnot, do you really realize how easy it would be to compare any lyrics to the lord of the rings, i mean its a 3 set book about a conquest.. how many songs are about traveling and what not? ok so that might not make sense to all of you but it does to me but i may just be too stoned to realize. but im sure that this song was written while they were stoned, and im sure that the whole black dog around the studio is right. i mean plant and page are both great writers, but im sure they didnt spend 4 months researching books and thinking up metaphors for every song that they make. have any of you ever written a song? well i know when i write i write what comes in my head, i dont try to sit there and think of metaphors and relations to books to mess with everyone. and i mean no disrespect to anyone of zep, they are one of the greatest bands to ever live, and hell maybe they did take 4 months per song.. all i know is that whatever they did worked. they are musical genious
