There's all kinds of music everywhere you go,
|
Some folks like it fast and some like it slow,
|
Some like it hot, some like it blue,
|
Some like it old and some like it new.
|
|
Now I'm not knockin' country and I'm not rappin' rap,
|
Big band swing just ain't my thing and alternative ain't my snap.
|
The only thing that turns me on
|
Is when I hear a soulful song.
|
|
I like soul with a capital "S",
|
Soul with a capital "S".
|
Sweet soul music, that's the best,
|
Soul with a capital "S".
|
|
The music makes you happy or it can make you sad,
|
It can turn the worst day into the best you've ever had.
|
For entertainment value, if I had to choose,
|
You and me might disagree because I like rhythm and blues.
|
|
Now I'm not dissin' disco, I'm not sayin' punk is bunk,
|
I can't settle for heavy metal a-'cause I got to have that funk.
|
The only thing that turns me on
|
Is when I hear a soulful song.
|
|
I like soul with a capital "S",
|
Soul with a capital "S".
|
Sweet soul music, that's the best,
|
Soul with a capital "S".
|
|
There's people who'll tell you to get with the times,
|
It doesn't even matter if your poem rhymes.
|
But I'm here to tell you whatever comes along
|
There's something here for everyone, there ain't no right or wrong.
|
|
If soft rock makes you lazy, classical leaves you flat,
|
And fusion drives you crazy, then - snap - funk is where it's at.
|
The only thing that turns me on
|
Is when I hear a soulful song.
|
|
I like soul with a capital "S",
|
Soul with a capital "S".
|
Sweet soul music, that's the best,
|
Soul with a capital "S".
|
|
Ow! I like soul with a capital "S",
|
Oh, soul with a capital "S",
|
Sweet soul music, that's the best,
|
Soul with a capital "S".
|
|
(With a capital S)
|
(With a capital S)
|
(With a capital S)
|
|
Oh, I like soul with a capital "S",
|
Unh, don't you know I like soul with a capital "S",
|
You gotta gimme some o' that soul, hah, with a capital "S",
|
Yes, I like soul with a capital "S".
|
|
(With a capital S)
|
(With a capital S)
|
(With a capital S)
|
|
Yo, fellas, sounds like some o' that Oakland soul music,
|
Y' know what I'm talkin' about?
|
|
They done found the stroke,
|
Done found the Oakland Stroke,
|
They done found the stroke,
|
Done found the Oakland Stroke.
|
|
"OAKLAND" HORN RIFF
|
|
Soul with a capital "S",
|
Oh, gimme some o' that soul with a capital "S",
|
Oh, I got to have that soul with a capital "S",
|
(With a capital S) That's what I like,
|
(With a capital S) Oh, play that music,
|
(With a capital S)
|
(With a capital S)
|
|
FADE OUT...
