Round about ¡®20 the folks had plenty
|
No, they couldn¡¯t ask for too much more,
|
THE FATHA kept thumpin¡¯ and THE SATCH got jumpin¡¯
|
And they rang right through with a roar,
|
Then around ¡®30 when things got dirty
|
All the players meant a whole lot more
|
THE DUKE got stompin¡¯ and THE COUNT started rompin¡¯
|
And what do you think it was for?
|
|
They put power in the music, and boy, you oughta hear it now,
|
They put power in the music, the boys are gonna show you how...
|
|
Round about ¡®40 when things got sporty
|
They were dancin¡¯ every night till dawn,
|
THE BIRD got ¡®em hoppin¡¯ with his crazy be-boppin¡¯
|
And FRANKIE crooned on and on,
|
Then around ¡®50 when folks got nifty
|
They were gettin¡¯ round to bendin¡¯ an ear,
|
CHUCK was duck-walkin¡¯ and THE KING got rockin¡¯
|
And what do you think was here?
|
|
They got power in the music, and boy, you oughta hear it now,
|
They got power in the music, the boys are gonna show you how...
|
|
Then FOUR BOYS made a brand new noise, from far beyond the sea.
|
We loved ALL FOUR and we yelled for more, it was natural as could be,
|
Watts went up and loose ends went down, now it¡¯s anything it wants to be.
|
|
We got power in the music, and boy you oughta hear it now,
|
We got power in the music, the boys are gonna show you how,
|
Don¡¯t you know they gave it power, power in the music,
|
YAH YAH YAH,
|
Can¡¯t you feel it giving you now, power in the music,
|
YAY, YAY, YAY,
|
Can¡¯t you feel it growing every day, power in the music,
|
YAZ,YAZ,YAZ,
|
Don¡¯t you feel it disbursing, power in the music,
|
YAH, YAH, YAH
|
You see them dancing up and down now, there¡¯s power in the music,
|
YAY, YAY, YAY,
|
I feel it growing every day now, there¡¯s power in the music,
|
YAZ, YAZ, YAZ.
