<br />
I can hear music in the air<br />
Somewhere, out there<br />
An I can hear happy voices<br />
Out-a in the air<br />
It makes me want to celebrate<br />
Hm, I feel good inside<br />
<br />
And I wanna get outdo's<br />
Yes I do, in the open wide<br />
A big time serenade<br />
It must be a Street Parade<br />
And I wanna Second line<br />
Gonna have a good time, yeah-yea!<br />
<br />
I get excited <br />
With every beat of the drum<br />
And make ya wanna get down with it<br />
Have a whole lotta fun<br />
We gonna go dance, dancing<br />
Out in the street<br />
A-come on baby, oh Lord! <br />
Girl, just you and me<br />
<br />
A big time serenade<br />
We're going to a Street Parade<br />
And we gonna Second line<br />
We gonna have a good time, time, time<br />
<br />
Hit me!<br />
Hit me! <br />
Hit me!<br />
Yeah!<br />
Ooo-wee!<br />

Hit me, Frank! <br />
Ooo! Yeah, you're right!<br />
<br />
Clap your hands, people<br />
Let me hear them clap, hm! <br />
And keep on clappin', now<br />
Let me hear them rap, yeah<br />
Ev'rybody, do yo' thing<br />
No promise what tomorrow brings<br />
<br />
So shake your tambourines<br />
Like they do down in New Orleans<br />
A big time serenade<br />
We goin' to a Street Parade<br />
And we gonna Second line<br />
We gonna have a good time, time, time <br />
<br />
Pick 'em up and put 'em down<br />
Your feets don't stay on the ground<br />
Shake it and a-don't let go<br />
Shake it 'til ya can't no mo'<br />
Ev'rybody move ya hips<br />
Go on a-let ya backbone slip<br />
Give it ev'rything you've got <br />
You've got to move it<br />
While the groove is hot<br />
Everybody's got to live it up!<br />

Nobody wanna get angry<br />
Guys, shake it up, now!<br />
Play it now, for me<br />
Play now, right now, right now.<br />
