Lyrics

If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys
Hit that (Grooving)
You gotta hit the band
If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys hitting it
You gotta hit the band
If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys, hit me
You gotta hit the band
When you hear seats rumble
You will hear your conscience grumble
Getting that
You gotta get the band
You have overcome, for I am here
Swing down, sweet chariot
Stop, and let me ride
Swing down, sweet chariot
Stop, and let me ride
Swing down, sweet chariot
Stop, and let me ride
Swing down, sweet chariot
Stop, and let me ride
Swing down, sweet chariot
Stop, and let me ride
Swing down, sweet chariot
Stop, and let me ride
If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys
Hit that
You gotta hit the band
If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys
Hit that
You gotta hit the band
If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys
Hit that
You gotta hit the band
If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys
Hit that
Hit the band
Whoa, if you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys
Hit that
You gotta hit the band
Ah, if you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys
Hit that
You gotta hit the band
If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys
Hit that
You gotta hit the band
Swing down, sweet chariot
Stop, and let me ride
Swing down, sweet chariot
Stop, and let me ride
Swing down, sweet chariot
Stop, and let me ride
Swing down, sweet chariot
Stop, and let me ride
Swing down, sweet chariot
Stop, and let me ride
Swing down, sweet chariot
Stop, and let me ride
Swing down, sweet chariot
Stop, and let me
