(Slow, Motown feel)
Once upon a time, when I was in high school
I was in love with you, lady and you treated me so cool.
I was drivin' a Chevy '72
had 4 on the floor, girl, one hundred 20 it would do
I remember Marvin Gaye, singin', Let's Get It On...
There was a war, baby, somewhere across the sea
I didn't wanna go and fight, girl, but you were really lovin' me.
I remember Martin Luther King,
lord he was the man, baby that gave us all a dream.
I remember Marvin Gaye, singin', let's Get It On...
Don't play with my love no,
I remember Marvin Gaye, singin', Let's Get It On.
We used to have sweet music in the park
Lord up at Monterey they sang throughout the dark
You used to wear girl, those hot pants
When you strolled down the hall, all the boys wanted a chance...
I remember Marvin Gaye, singin', Let's Get It On...
Don't play with my love, no...
I remember Otis Redding, Sittin' at the Dock of the Bay---
ahh, he went away..
I remember Sam Cooke ya'll, Bring It On Home To Me,
from your love I can't be free...
I remember Elvis Presley, and the Blue Suede Shoes
ahh it gave me the blues.
I remember Marvin Gaye, singin'...let's get it on
