Lyrics:

By Allen Toussaint 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 - OH - HEY! AH-AH-AH-AH-AH, AH-AH-AH-AH-AH, AH-AH-AH-AH-AH, AH-AH-AH-AH-AH. DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA - JABBA DABBA DABBA DABBA DI DAH. DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA - JABBA DABBA DABBA DABBA DI DAH. 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. OH - OH - 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. I SAID, EV'RYTHING'S GONNA BE MELLOW, EV'RYBODY'S SINGIN' OCCAPELLA. I SAID, EV'RYTHING'S GONNA BE MELLOW, EV'RYBODY'S SINGIN' OCCAPELLA. EV'RYTHING'S GONNA BE.
