Get It On - Marc Bolan & T. Rex

Marc Bolan & T. Rex - Get It On lyrics: Well you're dirty and sweet
Clad in black, don't look back, and I love you
You're dirty and sweet, oh yeah
Well you're slim and you're weak
You got the teeth of the Hydra upon you
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl
Get it on - bang a gong - get it on
Get it on - bang a gong - get it on
Well you're built like a car
You got a hubcap diamond star halo
You're built like a car, oh yeah
Well you're an untamed youth
That's the truth, with your cloak full of eagles
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl
Get it on - bang a gong - get it on
Get it on - bang a gong - get it on
Well you're windy and wild
You got the blues in your shoes and your stockings
You're windy and wild, oh yeah
Well you're built like a car
You got a hubcap diamond star halo
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl
Get it on - bang a gong - get it on
Get it on - bang a gong - get it on
Well you're dirty and sweet
Clad in black, don't look back, and I love you
You're dirty and sweet, oh yeah
Well you dance when you walk
So let's dance, take a chance, understand me
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl.
Get it on - bang a gong - get it on
Get it on - bang a gong - get it on
Get it on - bang a gong - get it on
Get it on
Get it on - bang a gong - get it on
Get it on - bang a gong - get it on
Get it on - bang a gong - get it on
Get it on - bang a gong - ride on
Take me
Well meanwhile, I'm still thinking

Rock bands of a certain time period, yes. And, those bands got their inspiration from American blues and rockabilly artists. In fact, there were American artists that sat in during concerts, making albums, etc. However, we are still grateful to the UK, not just England, for providing the world with such great music. My top 6 favorite bands of all time,60’s through the 90’s, are all Brit’s except one. And then followed by another round of British bands. Those were the days of Great music and musicians.
