Philly Thing lyrics

• What's that thing you feel When the drums are feeling funky What's that makes you move
  When the guitars get all chunky
  And the bass hits down below you and you know you gotta get up there and swing
  Truth be told
  It's a Philly thing
  That's a Philly thing
   
  You can't quite place the way I speak
  But you know that it sounds wrong
  That might be cause you don't know
  The true meaning of jawn
  Or why we keep this bell around this old town when that bell don't even ring
  Truth be told
  It's a Philly thing
  That's a Philly thing
   
  Smokin' Joe, touch of class
  Just like Teddy Pendergrass
   
  You ask me why sometimes I don't think before I speak
  You ask me why I've never learned to look before I leap
  Or why there's water in my eye every time I hear the Stylistics sing
  Truth be told
  It's a Philly thing
  That's a Philly thing
   
  One part heaven, one part hell
  One heart rides the Frankford El

  With the Eagles, Sixers, Phillies and the Flyers
  Out with my friends, so you're pulling all-nighters
   
  Schuylkill river's got the boats
  All the girls love Hall and Oats

  There it is, my very spot
  They know how I love my wings, Buffalo hot.

  Water ice is tasting sweeter
  Than the Geator with the Heater

  It's a Philly thing
  Yeah, it's a Philly thing
   
  So if you start to feel it when the drums are feeling funky
  And if you start to move it when the guitars get all chunky
  If that bass hits down below you and you know you gotta get up there and swing
  Truth be told
  It's a Philly thing
  That's a Philly thing
  Now you know
  It's a Philly thing
   
  I can smell the minute steaks
  And I can taste your Tastykakes
   
  Coltrane, LaBelle, Jill Scott, The Roots
  Boyz II Men in matching suits
   
  If that wasn't quite enough
  Thom Bell, Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff
   
  Hometown of Chubby Checker
  Dick Clark and a bunch of Quakers
   
  Things you can't learn in the apple
  Like what the hell goes into scrapple
