Song facts
“Deep Down” is a track from 2020 album “McCartney III“.
That was just a jam I had. I had a beat I liked and chords that I liked and I didn’t really have much of an idea but I had had this thing that said “get deep down, wanna get deep down” as this idea. I didn’t quite know what I meant by deep down except I want to have a deep relationship with you or whatever so I just really kept going on it. Some songs you know you don’t quite know where you’re going; you’ve just got half an idea and it’s really just that you’re enjoying the groove and that one was one of those, I just thought of ideas as I went along.
Paul McCartney, from NME, December 23, 2020
There’s Moog bass on Deep Down, and also on Find My Way the bass switches between the Hofner and the Moog, sort of intersecting in different sections of the song. We use the Moog a fair bit.

Lyrics
Gonna get deep down
Wanna do it right
Wanna get deep down
And look around
This end of town tonight
Wanna get you up
Gonna take a bite
Gotta let me know
If we can throw
A party every night
Wanna get deep down
Wanna do it right
Wanna get deep down
And look around
This end of town tonight
I wanna pick you up
Gonna get a bite
Gonna let me know
And we can throw
A party every night
Gonna get deep down
Wanna do it right
I wanna get deep down
And look around
This part of town tonight
Wanna get deep down…
Wanna get deep down
I wanna do it right
I wanna get deep down
And look around
This end of town tonight
Wanna get deep down
I wanna do it right
I wanna get deep down
And look around
This end of town tonight
I wanna pick you up
Gonna get a bite
Gonna let me know
And we can throw
A party every night
Gonna get deep down
Wanna do it right
I wanna get deep down
And look around
This part of town tonight
I wanna get you up
I wanna have a bite
I wanna let you know
That we can throw
A party every night
Wanna get deep down
Wanna do it right
Wanna get deep down
And look around
This end of town tonight
I wanna get deep down
Wanna do it right
I wanna get deep down
And look around
This end of town tonight
Wanna get deep down…
I need to talk to you
I wanna to talk to you
Come let me be with you tonight
I need to talk to you
I wanna to talk to you
Come let me be with you tonight
Wanna get deep down
Wanna do it right
Wanna get deep down
And look around
This end of town tonight
Wanna get you up
I need to talk to you
I wanna get a bite
I wanna to talk to you
Gonna let me know
Come let me be with you
If we can throw
A party every night
Tonight
I wanna pick you up
I wanna get it right
Gonna let me know
And we can throw
A party every night
Gonna get deep down
Gonna do it right
I wanna get deep down
And look around
This part of town tonight
Get deep down
Get deep down
Do it right
Wanna do it right
Get deep down
Look around
End of town tonight
Get deep down…
I wanna get deep down
I wanna get deep down tonight
I need to talk to you
I wanna to talk to you
Come let me be with you tonight, tonight
Tonight
