The Heat Is on Songtext

von Isley Brothers

Whatever happened to good time, Sally
I don't see her 'round no more
She used to be all over me
It ain't like that no more

Sally had the best game there was in town
Now the good girl just can't be found
Whatever happened to good time, Sally
I don't see her 'round no more

The heat is on
Everybody has gone underground
The heat is on
Everybody hiding out just like Jesse James

My old home town
Lord, it don't seem the same
Well, I walked in this place
I was just lookin' for a game

Everybody here wanted to know my name
I said hush, hush up your mouth
I'll introduce my own self to this house

I was born in the back woods
I was raised up like a slave
Having me a good time now is all I crave

I spotted me a barroom queen, skin tight blue jeans
That same old midnight show
I took her to the side and I said I won't be satisfied
Until you tell me everything you know

Whatever happened to big time buddy
I don't see him 'round no more
I heard tell that they got him in jail
But I don't know what they got him for

They caught him with an airplane
Talkin' 'bout some cocaine
Nobody knows for sure
Whatever happened to good time buddy
I don't see hem 'round no more

The heat is on
Everybody has gone underground
The heat is on
Everybody hiding out just like Jesse James

My old home town
Lord, it don't seem the same
