Midnight Groove Ticket

[Verse 1]
You walk in late
Same old door
Brand‑new shake
Gold chain swingin'
Like it’s got its own mind to make
You lean on the bar
Order trouble on the rocks
Say
“You dance?”
I say
“That depends on the song”
[Chorus]
Gimme that midnight groove ticket
Stamp my soul
Let me in it
Spin me ‘round
Don’t quit it
(Take me there, take me there)
If the floor’s on fire
Let’s kick it
Heart on the one
Can’t miss it
You and me
Come get it
Ride that midnight groove ticket
[Verse 2]
Your laugh hits quick
Little spark on my wrist
You talk big plans
Tossin’ ‘em into the mist
We slide
We slip
Shoes squeak
You almost trip
You grab my shirt
Say
“Don’t you dare let go of this”
[Chorus]
Gimme that midnight groove ticket
Stamp my soul
Let me in it
Spin me ‘round
Don’t quit it
(oh, don’t stop now)
If the floor’s on fire
Let’s kick it
Heart on the one
Can’t miss it
You and me
Come get it
Ride that midnight groove ticket
[Bridge]
[Claps and crowd call‑and‑response]
Left step
Right step
Slide and snap back in
Your smile
My sweat
We both past pretend
Say the word
I’ll stay ‘til ten
Then ten again
Then ten again
[Chorus]
Gimme that midnight groove ticket
Stamp my soul
Let me in it
Spin me ‘round
Don’t quit it
(Take me there, take me there)
If the floor’s on fire
Let’s kick it
Heart on the one
Can’t miss it
You and me
Come get it
Ride that midnight groove ticket

funk, Slinky funk band jam, male vocals, rubbery bass front and center, tight pocket drums, wah guitar scratches. Verses stay lean and conversational; chorus pops with stacked gang shouts and bright horns. Short breakdown with claps and call-and-response before the final hook, plenty of space for playful ad-libs.
