Well you're dirty and sweet, clad in black
Don't look back and I love you
You're dirty and sweet, oh yeah
Well you're slim and you're weak
You've got the teeth of a hydra upon you
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl.

[Chorus]
Get it on, bang the gong, get it on
Get it on, bang the gong, get it on

You're built like a car,
You've got a hub cap diamond star halo
You're built like a car, oh yeah
You're an untamed youth that's the truth
With your cloak full of eagles
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl.

[Chorus]

You're windy and wild,
You've got the blues in your shoes and your
Stockings
You're windy and wild, oh yeah
You're built like a car,
You've got a hub cap diamond star halo
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl.

[Chorus]

You're dirty and sweet,
Clad in black, don't look back
And I love you
You're dirty and sweet, oh yeah
You dance when you walk so let's dance,
Take a chance, understand me
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl.

[Chorus]

    General Comment:It it called "Bang a Gong" in the US. It was the only T-Rex song I knew until I saw the movie "Billy Eliott" That movie features other T-Rax songs like "Cosmic Dancer", "I Love To Boogie", "Children Of The Revolution", and more.

    Lots of other great artists, too. Worth a watch!

    General Comment:This song always seems to get me on. His voice, and this riff--oh my god. I love it!

    General Comment:The line "And meanwhile, I'm still thinkin'" at the end is from Chuck Berry's "Little Queenie," which Marc admitted to filching the riff to this song from as well. I suppose the inclusion of that lyrwas a sort of homage. (Personally, I don't think stealing the riff was much of a crime, since the riff's pretty generic, but that's just me.)

    Anywho, killer song. My grandma told me that she liked it because it was really easy to dance to, so when it came on at a party or whatever she could dance and not look like a fool.

    General Comment:This song sounds eerily like it was written for Hermione Granger... I mean, who else wears a ("black") cloak, has "the teeth of a hydra" and a "halo"...?!! Seriously, though, great song.
