Tina: The Tina Turner Musical (Original Cast Recording)

0

[TINA, IKE]
You know?
Every now and then
I think you might like to hear something from us
Nice and easy (Left a good job)
But there's just one thing, you see? (Down in the city)
You see, we never ever do (Working for the man)
Nothing nice (Every night and day)
And easy (And I never lost)
We always like to do it (One minute of sleeping)
Nice and rough (And I don't worry 'bout)
So we're gonna take the beginning of this song
(The way things might have been)
And do it easy (Big wheel keep on turnin')
And then we're gonna do the finish
Rough (Proud Mary)
That's the way we do (Keep on burnin')
Proud Mary

[TINA & IKE, IKETTES]
And wе're rollin' (Ooh)
Rollin' (Ooh)
Rollin' on the river

[TINA, spoken]
Listеn to the story now.​

[TINA, IKE, BOTH with IKETTES]
Left a good job in the city (Down in the city)
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping (And I won't worry)
Worried 'bout the way that things might have been
(You know that)
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'

[TINA, IKE, IKETTES, ALL]
And we're rollin' (Rollin') (Ooh)
Rollin', yeah (Rollin') (Ooh)
Rollin' on the river (Rollin' on the river)
Yes, we're rollin' (Rollin') (Ooh)
Rollin', yeah (Rollin') (Ooh)
Rollin' on the river (Rollin' on)
The river

[Dance break]

[TINA]
I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way that things might have been

[TINA, IKETTES, ALL]
Big wheel keep on turnin' (Turnin')
Proud Mary keep on burnin' (Burnin')
We're rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river
Yes, we're rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river

River doop, doop, doop
Doop. doop, doop, doop
Doop, doop, doop
Alright!

[TINA]
I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen

[TINA, IKETTES, ALL]
Big wheel keep on turnin' (Turnin')
Proud Mary keep on burnin' (Burnin')
We're rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river
Yes, we're rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river

River doop, doop, doop
Doop. doop, doop, doop
Doop, doop, doop
Alright!

[TINA]
If you come down to the river
I bet you're gonna find some people who live
And you don't gotta worry
If you got no money
People on the river are happy to give

[TINA, IKETTES, ALL]
Big wheel keep on turnin' (Turnin')
Proud Mary keep on burnin' (Burnin')
We're rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river
Yes, we're rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river

We're rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river
