GROOVY!
AH, THERE'S MUSIC IN THE STREETS AND THERE'S MUSIC IN THE AIR.
A LITTLE OL' SOUL BEAT, AND THERE'S DANCIN' EV'RYWHERE.
I WOULD TELL THE WHOLE WORLD, TELL 'EM IF I COULD,
TO ADD A LITTLE SONG INTO EACH LIFE,
OH, IT'S A-FINGER SNAPPIN' GOOD.
OH -
OH -
AH, PARDON ME, BOYS, BUT COULD YOU USE IT?
WE'RE GONNA MAKE A LITTLE MUSIC.
YOU GOT SOUL, NOW DON'TCHA LOSE IT,
WE'RE GONNA MAKE A LITTLE MUSIC.
EV'RYTHING'S GONNA BE MELLOW,
WE GON' JUST A-SINGIN' OCCAPELLA.
EV'RYTHING'S GONNA BE MELLOW,
WE GON' JUST A-SINGIN' OCCAPELLA.

OH, THERE'S DANCIN' IN THE STREETS AND THERE'S MUSIC IN THE AIR.
A LITTLE OL' SOUL BEAT, AND THERE'S DANCIN' EV'RYWHERE.
I WOULD TELL THE WHOLE WORLD, TELL 'EM IF I COULD,
TO ADD A LITTLE SONG INTO EACH LIFE,
YOU KNOW IT'S FINGER POPPIN' GOOD.
