what we're gonna do right here is go back
way back, back into time
back in the day
they used to say
play that song, get it going and the band played
and still today
you hear us say
play that song all night long, mr. dj
though times have changed,
it's still the same
we all need a minute to get away
so let it go and feel the flow
if you've got soul, let the world know
we're gonna set the mood (set the mood off right)
gonna go back to an old school groove (go back to an old school groove)
gonna rewind to another time
when the originators innovators were alive, yeah
here we say now
so break out the marvin gaye and etta james
your lady day
and coltrane
turn up your 45's bring back to life
the sound and vibe of yesterday
