Now let me tell you 'bout my girl
I open up a newspaper and what do I see?
Ah, see my girl, ah
Ah, lookin' at me
Ooh, and when she walks, she walks,
Let me tell you
When she talks, she talks
And when she looks me in my eye
She's my baby, Lord, I wanna make her mine
Oh, tell me baby what you want me to do
And you want me to love you
Love some other man
Oo they ain't gonna call me Mister Pitiful No
I don't need no respect from nobody no,
I ain't gonna tell you nothin, I ain't gonna tell you no more,
No she is my baby, let me tell you that I love her so
And, and she's the woman I really wanna love and let me tell you more
Oo, she's my baby, let me tell you she lives
Next door
She's the one a woman, the one a woman that I know
I ain't goin', I ain't goin', I ain't gonna tell.
I ain't goin' tell you one thing that you really ought a know
But - she's my lover baby, and I love her so.
And - she's the one that really makes me whirl and twirl
And - she's the kind of lover that makes me fill the whole world
And - she's the one who really makes me jump and shout
Oh - she's the kind of girl that I know what it's all about
Take it home,
Take it, take it, take it
Ah, excuse me,
Ah, will you excuse me?
I'm just try'n a find the bridge,
Has anybody seen the bridge?
(spoken) Please, have you seen the bridge?
I ain't seen the bridge
Where's that confounded bridge?
I don't know...give it a try,
Brian Richard Ross

The story behind the song

"The Crunge" is a song from Led Zeppelin's 1973 album Houses of the Holy. It evolved from a studio jam session, with John Bonham starting the beat, John Paul Jones on bass, and Jimmy Page playing a funk guitar riff he'd been experimenting with since 1970. Robert Plant joined in on vocals, and for the recording, Page used a Fender Stratocaster. The song, primarily in 9/8, is a take on James Brown's funk style, similar to their reggae attempt "D'yer Mak'er", and was also released as the B-side to "D'yer Mak'er" in the US.
