Brook Benton - Hit Record lyrics
rate mePeople always ask me<br />
How do make a hit record<br />
And I tell them, it's you<br />
The public who make hit records<br />
<br />
But here's what I do<br />
Now I get a little beat<br />
And I get a little song<br />
And I get a little group<br />
Then the band comes along<br />
<br />
[CHORUS]<br />
That's all, that's all<br />
That's all, that's all<br />
That's all I need<br />
To make a hit record<br />
<br />
Then I met a man<br />
With a long cigar<br />
I said, look here, man<br />
I wanna be a star<br />
<br />
Listen to my beat<br />
Listen to my song<br />
Now dig the group<br />
Ain't that pretty<br />
Man, we can't go wrong<br />
<br />
[Repeat CHORUS]<br />
<br />
Well, he made me sign<br />
The paper for twenty years<br />
But I didn't mind that paper<br />
Cause the people cheered<br />
When they heard my beat<br />
<br />
Ah, hit it, brother<br />
<br />
When they heard my song<br />
When they dug the group<br />
Go on, children<br />
Well, it didn't take long<br />
<br />
[Repeat CHORUS]<br />
<br />
Now, I'm walking on air<br />
I ain't got a care<br />
Said, why don't you<br />
Try the same thing too<br />
<br />
Just get a little beat<br />
Go on and get it, brother<br />
Get yourself a song<br />
Now dig the group<br />
Man, you can't go wrong<br />
<br />
[Repeat CHORUS]
