Listen To The Music
Tom Johnston
Don't you feel it growin',
Day by day
People
Gettin' ready for the news
Some are happy,
Some are sad
Wo, we got to let the music play
Wo, oh yeah
What the people need
Is a way to make 'em smile
It ain't so hard to do if you know how
Gotta get a message
Get it on through
Oh now mama's goin' to after awhile
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time
Well I know,
You know better
Everything I say
Meet me in the country for a day
We'll be happy
And we'll dance
Wo, we're gonna dance the blues away
Wo, oh yeah
And if I'm feelin' good to you
And you're feelin' good to me
There ain't nothin' we can't do or say
Feelin' good,
Feeling fine
Wo, baby, let the music play
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time
Like a lazy flowing river
Surrounding castles in the sky
And the crowd is growing bigger
List'nin' for the happy sounds
And I got to let em fly
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time
God, we gotta let the music play!
Golly, I love this song! I remember dancing to it... Oh those old time fraternity dances... It wasn't like today-- it was safe! Yeah, well, I was younger and a whole lot more spry then.
I have whole CDs of happy songs that I play in my car, while I'm driving, so picking one is impossible. But one of them would be this, by Sly and the Family Stone. You should see me car-dancing when this is on...
This one always gets me moving, too! Car dancing is a bit less dangerous with this song, and I've found you can time your hand movements with the song to match what you need to do to drive... I have Harry Belafonte's version, but this one is by Chubby Checker!
I'm too old to limbo anymore, so this song is also a good car dancing song!
OK, I quit. I could do this all night...
