Ok, so I know you guys will be able to help me with this....
I was driving down to work, listening to the Labyrinth soundtrack, and when "Chilly Down" came on, and I attempted to sing along, I realized I just can't figure out what the lyrics are. (I know some of them, but I want to know them all!)

Anyone care to enlighten me? :smile:

sylindebren, thank you SO much!
I don't feel to bad for not being able to make out all the words
(Bad hep with the wild gang?) I think I'll try and use "hep" in random sentences today. :smile:

Well, I suppose it was actually my duty to give these lyrics, but I got here a little too late. :wink: Glad it was taken care of, at least.

That isn't exactly the same as it is on the movie. The first lyric you listed is not on the movie.
Yeah, I love the bad hep too!

Yeah, but if you own the Soundtrack, those are the full lyrics of the song.

Hey,
These lyrics are pretty good, but I think there are quite a few mistakes...I have made some corrections for you all :wink:
Mainly 'wild gang' should be 'fire gang' hence that's why they are red and dancing around the fire!
Also towards the end they say 'likkle' not 'little' because they are jamaican/rastas and 'likkle' means 'little' in Patois, "yuh-yuh" is also a jamaican phrase.
And the "when your thing gets wild" is mean, when you get crazy, you need to chill out with the fire gang...
I wasn't too sure about the 'bad food" part, I thought it was 'bad news' cause 'good times, bad news' is a comman phrase, but he definately says "Bleh!" which is a sound made when tasting nasty food :wink:

Here goes:

When the sun goes down (when the sun goes down)
And the bats are back to bed (and the bats are back)
The brothers come 'round (brothers come 'round)
I get out of my dirty bed (my dirty bed)
I shake my pretty little head (shake my pretty little head)
Tap my pretty little feet (tap my pretty little feet)
Feeling brighter than sunlight (oh)
Louder than thunder (oh)
Dancin' like a yuh-yuh, wooh (oh)

Don't got no problems (no problems)
Ain't got no suitcase (no suitcase)
Ain't got no clothes to worry about (no clothes to worry about)
Ain't got no real estate or jury above my daily up (still not positive about this line, but the 'gold mines' line seems to be to many words for what he is saying...)

I just throw in my hand (throw in my hand)
With the chilliest bunch in the land (in the land)
They don't look much (oh)
They're sure chilly chilly (oh)
They positively glow glow, huh (oh)

Chilly down with the fire gangs
Think small with the fire gangs (It's the only way)
Bad hep hep with the fire gang (a smile a day keeps the doctor away)
When your thing gets wild
Chilly down

Chilly down with the fire gangs (Hey, I'm a wild child)
Act tall with the fire gang (whoo, walk tall)
Good times, bad food (BLEH! blub blub blub blub! ha ha ha ha)
When your thing gets wild
Chilly down, chilly down

Drive'em crazy, really lazy, eye rollin', funky strollin',
Ball playin', hip swayin', trouble makin', booty shakin',
Tripping, passing, jumping, bouncing, growlin', stylin', creepin', pouncing,
Shoutin', screamin', double dealin', rockin' rollin', an a readin' (still not positive about this word)
With the mackin' sex appealin'.
Can you dig our groovy feelin'?

So when things get too tough (get too tough)
And your chin is dragging on the ground (dragging on the ground)
And even down looks up (down looks up)
Bad luck (ha ha ha ha ha!)
We can show you a good time (show you a good time)
And we don't charge nu t'ing (nothin' at all)
Just strut your nasty stuff, (ah)
Wiggle in the middle yeh (ah)
Get the town a talkin' fire gang

Chilly down with the fire gang (t'ink small)
Think small with the fire gang (bad hep)
Bad hep with the fire gang (hey, listen up)
When your thing gets wild
Chilly down

Chilly down with the fire gang (ah, shake your pretty little head)
Act tall with the fire gang (tap your pretty likkle feet)
Good times, bad food (come on, come on)
When your thing gets wild
Chilly down

Chilly down with the fire gang (wooh)
Think small with the fire gang (ha ha ha ha ha)
Bad hep with the fire gang
