Oh yeah
Yeah, she's gotta have soul
Or it won't feel right
Well, just plain, clean and simple
Wrapped up nice n' tight
And homegrown and down-home, that makes one
Cookin' up that old time, long lost recipe for me, woh
It's gettin' hard to find
Guess it ain't hip enough now
You take an average guy, he can't identify, uuh
And there's a short supply of her fine, fine stuff
Lemme get on, lemme get on, lemme get on some of that
Shake it up, bake it up nice, uuh
Lemme get on, lemme get on, lemme get on all that
I so love my baby's poundcake
Homegrown and down-home, ooh yeah, that's the one
Still cookin' with that old time, long lost recipe
Lemme get on some of that
Uh ah, uh ho, uh ah, uh ho
I want some of that, uh ah, uh ho
Gimme some of that, uh ah, uh ho ow
Ooh, got some real fine pound, poundcake, ahh
I've been out there
Tried a little bit of everything
But it's all sex without love
I found the real thing is poundcake
Homegrown and down-home, yeah that's the one
Still cookin' with that old time, long lost recipe, yeah woo
She's down-home and down-home, oh, that's my woman
Gimme some of that of
Uh ah, uh ho
Uh ah, uh ho
Lemme hold that
Uh ah, uh ho, uh, uh ah, uh ho
Homegrown and down-home, woo

Gimme some of that, gimme some of that
Homegrown, way down-home, yeah
Uh ah, uh ho, yeah, gimme some of that, woo
C'mon baby
Homegrown, homegrown, down-home

Van Halen is one of the most iconic American rock bands of all time. Formed in Pasadena, California in 1972, the group’s primary line-up consisted of Eddie Van Halen on guitar, Alex Van Halen on drums, David Lee Roth providing lead vocals, and Michael Anthony providing bass duties and significant harmonies.

Their first six albums, recorded and released between 1977–1984, are considered to be classics and pioneering efforts in the field of hard rock. Eddie Van Halen’s groundbreaking guitar sound and techniques completely changed the landscape of music and radio culture in the 1980s. His and brother Alex’s virtuosity, along with David Lee Roth’s charisma and bassist Michael Anthony’s foundational contributions garnered the band early comparisons to their predecessors—Led Zeppelin—a group who had a profound influence on them. Though, even more so than Jimmy Page, Eddie cites Eric Clapton as having the biggest impact on his playing.

In 1977, after recording a demo with Gene Simmons (who wanted the band to change their name to “Daddy Longlegs”) they were introduced to KISS‘ management, who told Simmons they wouldn’t sign them
