 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

 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

 Nobody wanna get angry
 Guys, shake it up, now!

 Play now, right now, right now.
