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!
Hit me!

Yeah!
Ooo-wee!
Hit me, Frank!
Ooo! Yeah, you're right!
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.
