"Howlin'" lyrics

"Howlin'"

There was a howling screaming demon
Blasting outta Mexico
You could hear it from Del Rio to the Hudson Bay
It was powered by rock and roll

Now when I heard that Smokestack Lightning
On a transistor glowing in the dark
It was pounding and a rumbling and a tumbling under covers
Got way deep up inside of my heart

I said howhooo on the radio
Howhoooooo

It scared the hell out of your mama and your daddy
Must be bad business pumping in that beat
'Cause ain't a kid in the world can resist it
They're boogalooing up and down the street

I said howooo on the radio
How, howoooo outta Mexico
Howooooooo

I know some folks gonna think I'm headed straight for hell
Oh, but God don't curse or bless no beat as far as I can tell
So turn up that Tele till the groove gets to thumpin'
'Till everybody in this joint gets to jumping

So if you hear that Smokestack Lightning
On some brand new voodoo phone
It might pound and rumble, twist and shout
And wiggle down inside your soul
Might creep in and get a hold of your soul

I said howooo on the radio
How, howoooo outta Mexico
I said howooo, get up inside your soul
Howoooo

I said howooo on the radio
How, howoooo outta Mexico
I said howoooo, get up inside your soul
Howoooo
I said howoooo
I said howoooo
