I can hear music in the air

Somewhere, out there

An I can hear happy voices

Out-a in the air

It makes me want to celebrate

Hm, I feel good inside



And I wanna get outdo's

Yes I do, in the open wide

A big time serenade

It must be a Street Parade

And I wanna Second line

Gonna have a good time, yeah-yea!



I get excited

With every beat of the drum

And make ya wanna get down with it

Have a whole lotta fun

We gonna go dance, dancing

Out in the street

A-come on baby, oh Lord!

Girl, just you and me



A big time serenade

We're going to a Street Parade

And we gonna Second line

We gonna have a good time, time, time



Hit me!

Clap your hands, people

Let me hear them clap, hm!

And keep on clappin', now

Let me hear them rap, yeah

Ev'rybody, do yo' thing

No promise what tomorrow brings



So shake your tambourines

Like they do down in New Orleans

A big time serenade

We goin' to a Street Parade

And we gonna Second line

We gonna have a good time, time, time



Pick 'em up and put 'em down

Your feets don't stay on the ground

Shake it and a-don't let go

Shake it 'til ya can't no mo'

Ev'rybody move ya hips

Go on a-let ya backbone slip

Give it ev'rything you've got

You've got to move it

While the groove is hot

Everybody's got to live it up!



FADES-

Nobody wanna get angry

Guys, shake it up, now!

Play it now, for me

Play now, right now, right now.
