Yeah, man, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoo!
We didn't plan to dance
Just stepped in to see the fire
Cold air hangin' on the street
Then the kick drum hit your feet
You said, I'll just stay one song
But that bass proved you wrong
While guitar started to slide
Now you're movin' side to side
You can try to play it cool
Lean against the wall like a fool
But when that pocket locks in tight
Your body's choosin' for you tonight
The groove finds you
Before you find it
Pulls you in
Right behind it
Old school funk and dirty down
Drums rollin' while we throw down
You didn't choose the track
The track chose you back
Saxophone screamin' bold
Keys drippin' liquid gold
Drummer sweats steady grin
Whole room breathin' in sync
Friends laughin', glasses high
Someone shoutin', don't be shy
If you're stiff, give it time
That rhythm's crossin' every line
No invitation, no excuse
Just let your shoulders loose and lose
When the snare hits crisp and flat
You're officially part of that
The groove finds you
Wraps around you
Moves your feet
Then surrounds you
Raw old school thick and fat
Echo bouncin' through the hall
From the first drum crack
You ain't steppin' back
Mountain night
Don't always roll
But tonight
We're shakin' the floor
Fog outside
Breathe with it
Let the fog crawl under your skin
The groove finds you
Owns the room
Bassline risin'
Like a boom
When the last note fades to black
And you're beggin' for a track
You'll smile and say that's that
Funk did that in the end
Yeah, man, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoo!
We didn't plan to dance
