Listen up, y'all, this rhythm's a mama

Hit it

Shake it now

Oh, just shake it now

Tribute

Hey, I wanna tell you a story

It's about the groove

Alright now, look here

Hope it makes you move

And get your rhythm too

Yeah, oh yeah

Well, there's music from the past

Music for the young and old

Music revelation, rock and roll and soul

So right on (right on, right on)

On and on and on

Everybody

And there was Little Richard (Tutti Frutti)

And Elvis too (shook up, shook up, shook up)

Way back in the '50s (way back, way back, way back)

And they were doing it for me and you

Well I know there is a way

With music we can say

These songs are in our blood

So let them play 'cause it's happening today

On and on

Good God

I said the beat was right on, yeah (right on, right on)

And we see it all so clear

The music while we're here

And we need it everyday

No doubt about it we, can show the way

Talk about Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson was their name

Ever since then things ain't been the same

(Ain't been the same)

Otis Redding, God may rest his soul

Play back James Brown

How he slides I don't know

Motor City

That gave us the motown tunes

Oh, they laid the foundation, Lord

And made Detroit something new, yeah

We're talking 'bout Marvin Gaye (what's going on)

Little Stevie (for once in my life)

Smokey (tears of a clown)

Supremes (baby love)

(Right on, right on)

On and on and on, yeah (right on, right on)

Say, my brother, right on (right on, right on)

Ike and Tina (right on, right on)

Aretha Franklin (right on, right on)

Wilson, big man (right on, right on)

Jimmy Hendrix (right on, right on)

Sound of Philly (Sound of Philly)

Jackson 5 (The Jackson 5)

All these sounds are still alive

Blow, Horace, blow

We're right on
