Lyrics:
Some folks know about it, some don't
Some will learn to shout it, some won't
But sooner or later baby, here's a ditty
Say you're gonna have to get right down to the real nitty gritty
Let's get right on down to the nitty gritty
Now one, two nitty gritty
Now yeah, mmm, nitty gritty now
Ooooowee, right down to the real nitty gritty

Ooo Ooo
Double beatin', Double beatin'
Right down to the nitty gritty yeh..
Double beatin', I keep repeatin
Right down to the nitty gritty yeh..


Let's (let’s), Get (get) right (right) on down (on down)
To the real (to the real) nitty gritty (nitty gritty)
on down to nitty gritty night yeh..

Nitty gritty ooowee
Right down to the real nitty gritty
Listen to me now

Right down to the real nitty gritty
Get on down, get on down
