There was a howlin' screamin' demon Blastin' out of Mexico You could hear it from the Rio to the Hudson Bay It was powered by rock n' roll Now when I heard that Smokestack Lightnin' On a Transistor glowing in the dark It was poundin' and rumblin' and a tumblin' under covers Got way deep up inside my heart I said awooo on the radio Awooo-ooh-ooh It scared the hell out of your momma and your daddy Must be that business pumping in that beat 'Cause ain't a kid in the world can resist it They up and down the street I said awooo on the radio A-awooo out of Mexico Awooo-ooh-ooh I know some folks think I'm heading straight to hell Oh but God don't curse or bless no beat as far as I can tell So turn up that 'til the groove gets to pumping 'Til everybody in this joint gets to jumpin' So if you hear that Smokestack Lightin' On some brand new hoodoo phone It might pound and rumble, twist and shout Wiggle down inside your soul Might creep in and get a hold of your soul I said awooo on the radio A-awooo out of Mexico I said awooo get up inside your soul Awooo-ooh-ooh I said awooo on the radio A-awooo out of Mexico I said awooo get up inside your soul Awooo-ooh-ooh I said awooo-ooh-ooh
