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.
