Lyrics

All
 music, music
 i hear music ah, ah, ah, ah
 music...
 Man 2
 once upon a time this was drab world all
 (drab world, drab world, drab world)
 ev'rything on earth was dull and bare
 (dull and bare, and dull and bare, and)
 then one day a wise man had a thought
 what we need is music
 yes!
 Everywhere
 man 1
 so someone went out and invented the phonograph.
 Maybe you recall how every evening
 everybody gathered round the chair
 every now and then you'd stop to think
 how nice
 to have music, everywhere.
 Woman 2
 then, to make things even nicer, someone invented the radio.
 Woman 1
 wasn't it a wonder when it happened
 every little room now had it's share
 woman 2
 every little care had q-x-r
 all
 but this was not music, music everywhere.
 Man 2
 so, someone invented musak.
 Softly, gently, never going overboard others
 ooh ooh ooh ooh...
 Every moment now was subtly underscored
 ahh ahh ahh ahh...
 All
 how could there be sadness...
 Man 1
 in a world where the grocery store next door has music
 woman 1
 the little french restaurant with all the atmosphere has music
 man 2
 the gentleman's restroom
 and the ladies room has music
 man 1
 the delicatessen has music
 woman 2
 and your office and you elevator and your incinerator has music!
 Man 1, man 2, woman 2 woman 1
 glory it was lovely la la la...
 'Til a genius
 visiting the country for some air everywhere
 cocked his little head and halted dead.
 All
 he did not hear music, music, everywhere.
 Man 2
 the man was stunned. So he went home and invented the portable cassette player.
 All
 yes, oh yes. Ah, yes oh yes, ah, yes oh yes, ah yes!
 Now from every mountain to the prairies
 to the ocean white with sand
 everyone on earth is feeling grand
 because there is music, music, everywhere
 everywhere, everywhere, everywhere.
 Woman 2
 did you think that science would be satisfied? Others
 (oh no oh no oh no oh no)
 woman 1
 is your urge for music fully gratified?
 (oh no oh no oh no oh no)
 all
 now they've got a gadget you can
 plug inside your brain and shoot the music
 straight into your system
 get the music pumping right into your blood stream
 make your lymph glands shoot into the marrow of your very bones!
 Everywhere you go now
 you've got music
 from your tippy toes up to your hair
 anyone who sees that glassy stare
 knows you have got music
 music, music, happy music, happy, happy
 music, music, music, music, music, mu-
 man 2
 silence
 woman 1
 isn't it wonderful
 man 1
 i can think again
 woman 2
 think?
 Man 2
 yeah, think...
 All
 still you have to admit, it's nice with music everywhere,
 music, music, music, music
 everywhere!!
