I'm a lady from the valley
Coming out to check a band
See I'm a crazy into rock and roll
I got to have a guitar man

I'm a sucker for his wah-wah
He's a hottest act in town
I know just how to push his pedal
So you know I can git down

[Chorus:]
I'm a git down-guitar groupie
And I live from riff to riff
I'm a git down-guitar groupie
Git down, downtown, lowdown
Guitar groupie, well

A guitar groupie, yeah

Shady lady from the get go
Watch me try to catch this man
See how to lure him with my seductiveness
Calling myself a fan

What a funky reputation
Is gonna follow me all over town
For there's a one thing
That he can say about his lady
She really knows how to git on down

[Chorus]

A woman on the road leads a lose and lovin' life
My advice is to all you ladies
Is you got to get around
Set your sights on who you're after
Feel the chords and git on down

I'm a git down-guitar groupie
And I live from lick to lick
I'm a git down-guitar groupie

Git down, downtown, lowdown, git down
Git down, downtown, lowdown, git down
Git down, downtown, lowdown, guitar groupie
Well, a guitar groupie yeah
Oh, a guitar groupie
Ah guitar groupie yeah

[Outro:]
I got to git down on you mama
Git down on him now
Git down groupie wow wow wow

Cher is an American singer, songwriter, actress, model, fashion designer, television host, comedian, dancer, businesswoman, philanthropist, author, film producer, director, and record producer.

Cher gained popularity in 1965 as one-half of the folk rock husband–wife duo Sonny & Cher after their first hit, “I Got You Babe”. She began her solo career simultaneously, releasing in 1966 her first million-seller song, “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)”. After the duo had lost its young audience owing to their monogamous, anti-drug lifestyle during the period of the sexual revolution and the rise of the drug culture, she returned to stardom in the 1970s as a television personality with her shows The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, watched by over 30 million viewers weekly during its three-year run, and Cher. She became a fashion trendsetter by wearing elaborate outfits on her television shows. While working on television, she established herself as a solo artist with the number-one singles “Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves”, “Half-Breed”, and “Dark Lady”. After her divorce from Sonny Bono in 1975, Cher’s much-publicized personal life led to a decline in her career, although she launched a minor comeback in 1979 with the disco-oriented album Take Me Home and earned $300,000 a week for her 1980–1982 residency show in Las Vegas.

In the early 1980s, Cher made her Broadway debut, and then starred in the film Silkwood. Her performance earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1983. In the ensuing years, she starred in films such as Mask, The Witches of Eastwick, and Moonstruck. She made her directorial debut in the 1996 film If These Walls Could Talk. At the same time, she established herself as a rock singer by releasing platinum albums such as Heart of Stone (1989) and top-ten singles such as “I Found Someone” and “If I Could Turn Back Time”. She reached a new commercial peak in 1998 with the song “Believe”, which features the pioneering use of Auto-Tune, also known as the “Cher effect”. Her 2002–2005 Living The Farewell Tour ended up as the highest-grossing music tour by a female artist then. In 2008, she signed a $60 million per-year deal to headline the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for three years. After seven years of absence, she returned to film in the 2010 musical Burlesque. Cher’s first studio album in 12 years, Closer to the Truth, became her highest-charting solo album in the U.S. to date.
