Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Don't believe those clouds in the sky

'Cause they'll be movin' on and the sun will shine

If the world's been passin' you by

Just reach for a star and you'll realize

[Verse 2]

Got to put back all the good times that we had

We can make it better with a little bit of Razzamatazz

(Get that Razzamatazz)

(Put back and just)

(Get that Razzamatazz)

[Verse 3]

If you feel your life's in a rut

Just come on out tonight and we'll pull you up

Ain't no use in dragging your feet

'Cause something's in the air that just can't be beat

[Verse 4]

Got to put back all the good times that we had

We can make it better with a little bit of Razzamatazz (Razzamatazz)

(Get that Razzamatazz)

(Put back and just)

(Get that Razzamatazz)

[Verse 5]

Bring out the rides with all those white wall tires

Let's go out cruisin' like we used to do

Get suited down, let's set the town on fire

Jump out your seat and let the music pull you through

[Verse 6]

We can make it better with a little bit of Razzamatazz

We can make it better with a little bit of Razzamatazz

We can make it better with a little bit of Razzamatazz

(Get that Razzamatazz)

[Verse 7]

We can make it better with a little bit of Razzamatazz

We can make it better with a little bit of Razzamatazz

We can make it better with a little bit of Razzamatazz

(Get that Razzamatazz)

[Verse 8]

Got to put back all the good times that we had

We can make it better with a little bit of Razzamatazz

(Get that Razzamatazz)

(Put back and just)

(Get that Razzamatazz)

[Verse 9]

Bring out the rides with all those white wall tires

Let's go out cruisin' like we used to do

Get suited down, let's set the town on fire

Jump out your seat and let the music pull you through

You can lay your soul on the line

'Cause we can make it work if we do it right

Got to spread this message around

The people of the world should be getting down

[Verse 10]

Got to put back all the good times that we had

We can make it better with a little bit of Razzamatazz

(Get that Razzamatazz)

(Put back and just)

(Get that Razzamatazz)

[Verse 11]

We can make it better with a little bit of Razzamatazz

(Get that Razzamatazz)

(Put back and just)

(Get that Razzamatazz)

[Verse 12]

We can make it better with a little bit of Razzamatazz (Razzamatazz)

(Get that Razzamatazz)

[Verse 13]

We can make it better with a little bit of Razzamatazz

We can make it better with a little bit of Razzamatazz

We can make it better with a little bit of Razzamatazz

(Get that Razzamatazz)

[Verse 14]

We can make it better with a little bit of Razzamatazz

We can make it better with a little bit of Razzamatazz

We can make it better with a little bit of Razzamatazz

(Get that Razzamatazz)

[Verse 15]

We can make it better with a little bit of Razzamatazz

We can make it better with a little bit of Razzamatazz

We can make it better with a little bit of Razzamatazz

(Get that Razzamatazz)
