I wrote this on the last day of my second successful 50 Song Challenge. I picked up my baritone uke and this song just came out. That uke is so funky. For this recording, I kept only the uke and built upon that. At some point (probably when I added the drum intro) it moved from funk to 1980s dance pop. Sure, that works.
Written 1 October 2005.
lyrics
Uhuh, Whatcha gonna gonna give me?
Uhuh, Whatcha gonna gonna give me?
Uhuh, Whatcha gonna gonna give me?
Uhuh, Whatcha gonna gonna give me?
I don't mean to be
that guy who comes around
and demands your company
but your lovin's so profound
Uhuh, let me see you get down
Uhuh, let me see you turn around
Uhuh, get out on the dance floor
Uhuh, show me what your legs are for
I'm so glad to be
the guy you call your man
now come sit next to me
and let me hold your hand
I need to see you tonight
I need to hold you tight
I need to hold you close
but I need your kiss the most
Uhuh, Whatcha gonna gonna give me?
Uhuh, Whatcha gonna gonna give me?
Uhuh, Whatcha gonna gonna give me?
Uhuh, Whatcha gonna gonna give me?
Uhuh, come on baby tell me
Uhuh, every word compels me
Uhuh, tell me what you want now
Uhuh, and I'll find a way how
When I first saw you
I was paralyzed
you came out of the blue
the deep blue of your eyes
Uhuh, Whatcha gonna gonna give me?
Uhuh, Whatcha gonna gonna give me?
Uhuh, Whatcha gonna gonna give me?
Uhuh, Whatcha gonna gonna give me?
I need to see you tonight
I need to hold you tight
I need to hold you close
but I need your kiss the most
If it were up to me
I'd see you every day
you're my favourite thing to see
in the sunshine, in the rain
Uhuh, let me see you get down
Uhuh, let me see you turn around
Uhuh, get out on the dance floor
Uhuh, show me what those hips are for
Uhuh, Whatcha gonna gonna give me?
Uhuh, Whatcha gonna gonna give me?
Uhuh, Whatcha gonna gonna give me?
Uhuh, Whatcha gonna gonna give me tonight?
