Don’t you feel it growin’ day by day, people gettin’ ready for the news.
Some are happy, some are sad, oh, we got to let the music play.
What the people need is a way to make ’em smile, it ain’t so hard to do if you know how.
Gotta get a message, get it on through, oh, now mama’s go’n’ to after ‘while.
Oh, oh, listen to the music. Oh, oh, listen to the music,
Oh, oh, listen to the music all the time.
Well, I know you know better everything I say, meet me in the country for a day
We’ll be happy and we’ll dance, oh, we’re gonna dance our blues away.
And if I’m feelin’ good to you and you’re feelin’ good to me
There ain’t nothin’ we can’t do or say.
Feelin’ good, feeling fine, oh, baby, Let the music play.
Oh, oh, listen to the music. Oh, oh, listen to the music,
Oh, oh, listen to the music all the time.
Like a lazy flowing river surrounding castles in the sky.
And the crowd is growing bigger list’nin’ for the happy sounds and I got to let them fly.
Oh, oh, listen to the music. Oh, oh, listen to the music,
Oh, oh, listen to the music all the time.
