Turn on that red-hot heat
And burn your blues away
Come on and get under the spell
Turn on that red-hot heat
Let's take a holiday
Wake up and get out of your shell

If you find livin' full of trouble ahead
Who cares if who knows
Step out and give in
Paint the town till it's red
Don't be a blue nose

Turn on that red-hot heat
And burn your blues away
Nothing will ever go wrong
If you beat your feet and
Put some heat in a song
