Long Live Soul Music (Edit Version; Remastered)

Hey, people!

It's a dance-o-matic, most emphatic, cool, dramatic
Hip, good feeling of a soul sound
That's all it is
Oh, it's sophisticated, innovative
Makes you want to shout, it ain't no doubt
It's a groove thing
That's all it is

Now, I remember growing up
Not much to do living in a small town
One day I heard some soul music
And ever since then it's always been around
I remember how my brothers and my sisters
Could not wait to get to the record shop
Well, oh no
They'd go by Sam Cooke, James Brown
Otis Redding and Bobby Bland
Come home, boogie-woogie-woogie 'til the floor got hot

So long live soul music
Keep the world dancing all night long
Make 'em laugh, make 'em cry
Help the lonely pass the time by
Keep on grooving on

Keep on grooving to that dance-o-matic, most emphatic
Cool, dramatic, hip, good feeling of a soul sound
That's all it is
Hey, it's sophisticated, innovative
Makes you want to shout, it ain't no doubt
It's a groove thing
That's all it is

Now, I remember this lady
All night long she would play her stereo
She'd be playing "Send Me Some Loving"
"Walking and Weeping"
Crying, "Why don't my baby love me anymore?"

So long live soul music
Keep the world dancing all night long, yeah
Make 'em laugh, make 'em cry
Help the lonely pass the time by
Keep on grooving on

Why don't you help them party, party?
Help them make it through the night
Help them make their lives seem right
(Party) Baby, (party) touch the whole world with the groove
Oh yeah, make 'em move
(Shake it) Shake it
(Shake your body with it) Shake your body, baby
(Shake it) Mmm-hmm

(Shake your body with it) Shake your body, baby
(Shake it) Shake it, baby
(Shake your body with it) Shake it, baby
(Shake it) Shake it, baby
(Shake your body with it)

Keep on grooving to that dance-o-matic, most emphatic
Cool, dramatic, hip, good feeling of a soul sound
That's all it is
Hey, it's sophisticated, innovative
Makes you want to shout, there ain't no doubt
It's a groove thing
That's all it is, yeah

Help them party, help them party
Help them make it through the night
Help them make their lives seem right

(Party) Yeah, (party) touch the whole world with the groove
Oh yeah, make 'em move
(Shake it) Yeah
(Shake your body with it) Mmm-hmm
(Shake it) I like that move
(Shake your body with it) Come on, do it, shake it like that
(Shake it) Yeah
(Shake your body with it) Shake your body with it
(Shake it) Got me shaking
(Shake your body with it)

So long live soul music
Keep the world dancing, dancing all night long
Make 'em laugh, make 'em cry
Help the lonely pass the time by
Keep on grooving on

(Shake it) Shake it, yeah
(Shake your body with it)
(Shake it) Shake it, baby
(Shake your body with it)
(Party) (Shake it)
