There's a-music in the streets
There's a-music in the air
A little old solo beat
There's a-dancing everywhere
Now I would tell the whole world
I would tell 'em if I could
To add a little something a-to each life
And it's a-finger snapping good
Ohoho ohoho

Pardon me but you can use it
We're gonna make a little music
You got some now don't you lose it
We're gonna make a little music
Everything's gonna be mellow
You're just goin' to see me occapella, mm
Everything's gonna be mellow
You're just goin' to see me occapella, mm
Ohoho ohoho
