In The Hollies Style
The Hollies
Nitty Gritty
(Lincoln Chase)
Track 1a on album 'In The Hollies Style' november 1964

{In line #9 & #10 the original lyics by
Lincoln Chase goes "But sooner or later baby,
here's a ditty, say you're gonna have to
get right down to the real nitty gritty",
but Allan Clarke couldn't make that fit into
the Hollies' arrangement, resulting in the
strange line #10}

Well oh, let's (let's)
get (get)
right (right)
on down (down)
to the real (real)
nitty gritty (nitty gritty)
Some folks know about it, some don't (some don't)
Some folks learn and shout it, some won't (some won't)
But sooner or later baby, here's a ditty
S'gonna make it
Gonna get right down to the real nitty gritty
Get right down to the real nitty gritty, yeah

C'mon and get right down to the real nitty gritty, yeah
Get right down to the real nitty gritty, yeah
One, two, (nitty gritty) three
Get right down to the real nitty gritty
