#19 Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) (Sly & The Family Stone) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Lookin’ at the devil, grinnin’ at his gun
Fingers start shakin’, I begin to run
Bullets start chasin’, I begin to stop
We begin to wrestle, I was on the top🪄
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin🪄
Stiff all in the collar, fluffy in the face
Chit chat chatter tryin’, stuffy in the place
Thank you for the party but I could never stay
Many things is on my mind, words in the way🪄
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin🪄
Dance to the music
All night long
Everyday people
Sing a simple song
Mama’s so happy
Mama start to cry
Papa still singin’
We can make it if we try🪄
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
(Different strokes for different folks, yeah)
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin🪄
Flamin’ eyes of people fear, burnin’ into you
Many men are missin’ much, hatin’ what they do
Youth and truth are makin’ love
Dig it for a starter
Dyin’ young is hard to take
Sellin’ out is harder🪄
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin🪄
I want thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin

#7 Hot Fun in the Summertime (Sly & The Family Stone) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
End of the spring
And here she comes back
Hi, hi, hi, hi there
Them summer days
Those summer days🪄
That’s when I had
Most of my fun, back
Hi, hi, hi, hi there
Them summer days
Those summer days🪄
I cloud nine when I want to
Out of school, yeah
County fair in the country sun
And everything is true
Ooh, yeah, yeah🪄
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime🪄
First of the fall
And then she goes back
Bye, bye, bye, bye there
Them summer days
Those summer days🪄
Boop-boop-boop-boop
When I want to
Out of school
County fair in the country sun
And everything is cool
Ooh, yeah, yeah🪄
Hot fun in the summertime (hey, hey, hey, ooh)
Hot fun in the summertime (ooh, yeah)
Hot fun in the summertime

#5 Everyday People (Sly & The Family Stone) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Sometimes I’m right and I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my song
The butcher, the banker, the drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I’m in🪄
I am everyday people, yeah, yeah🪄
There is a blue one who can’t accept
The green one for living with
A fat one tryin’ to be a skinny one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby-dooby-dooby
We got to live together🪄
I am no better and neither are you
We’re all the same, whatever we do
You love me, you hate me
You know me and then
You can’t figure out the bag I’m in🪄
I am everyday people🪄
There is a long hair
That doesn’t like the short hair
For being such a rich one
That will not help the poor one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on, scooby-dooby-dooby
We got to live together🪄
There is a yellow one that won’t
Accept the black one
That won’t accept the red one
That won’t accept the white one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and
Scooby-dooby-dooby🪄
I am everyday people

#20 Dance To The Music (Sly & The Family Stone) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Sing, get on up and dance to the music
Get on up and dance to the music🪄
Dance to the Music, dance to the music
Dance to the Music, dance to the music🪄
All we need is a drummer
For people who only need a beat, yeah
I’m gonna add a little guitar
And make it easy to move your feet🪄
I’m gonna add some bottom
So that the dancers just won’t hide🪄
You might like to hear my organ
I said ride Sally ride, now
(Cynthia, what? Gerry, what?)
If I could hear the horns blow
Cynthia on the throne, yeah🪄
Listen to me
Cynthia and Jerry got a message that’s sayin’
All the squares, go home, yeah-yeah🪄
Listen to the voices🪄
Dance to the Music, dance to the music
Dance to the Music, dance to the music
