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.

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,
