Everywhere I go I hear the music in the streets
People pass me by, I hear the tappin' of their feet
I could get down boys, with all thats goin' wrong
But I was born to sing a dancin' song
But in between these lines, I see the sadness in your eyes
And as I'm lookin' inside, they're sayin' please don'tcha pass me by
But you know I can't feel, and know everything I should
I just start by takin' it where it's good
So everywhere I go, I hear the musical beat
Little children pass by, I hear their laughter fill the street
I should be sad boys, and I could with what's goin' down
But I was born to sing me a dancin' song
