SWEET SOUL MUSIC

Do you like good music?
Ha! That sweet soul music,
just as long as it's swinging.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

We're out there on the floor, y'all,
goin' to a go-go,
dancin' with the music.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Spotlight on Lou Rawls, y'all.
Oh, don't he look boss, y'all.
Singin' 'Love's a Hurtin' Thing', y'all.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Spotlight on Sam and Dave, y'all.
Oh, don't they look great, y'all.
Singin' 'Hold on, I'm Coming'.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Spotlight on Wilson Pickett now,
that wicked wicked Pickett
singin' Mustang Sally'.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Spotlight on Otis Redding now
singin' 'fa fa fa fa fa fa
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa'.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Spotlight on James Brown, y'all.
He's the king of them all, y'all.
He's the king of them all, y'all.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Do you like good music?
Ha! That sweet soul music,
just as long as it's swinging.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

I got to get the feeling...
