Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ladies and gentlemen, this here is another one for the steppers
DJ Wayne Williams put the record on
[Verse 2]
Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh whoa yeah
Whoa yeah
Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh whoa yeah
Whoa
[Verse 3]
Tell me what do we do when the DJ's playing our favorite groove
We step, to when, the whole night through
And what do we do when we're all dressed up and in the mood
We step, to what, a steppers groove
Where do we go soon as the weekend gets here
The club, why, to party and have some fun
What is it that can come and take away all your stress, tell me
Music
No further questions, you have passed my test

Happy people
Keep the world turning
Oh yeah, I believe that happy people
Oh, keeps us all dancing, whoa

And happy people
Keeps the music grooving
[Verse 5]
Tell me, now what do you do
When a feeling has come over you
You let it go, and what, let it take control, let it
What do you say when a gentleman asks you to dance, you
Say yes, and then, get on the dance floor
Even when it seems we're going through some hard time what do we do
Keep smiling 'cause we know, we're going to make it through
Now what is that can come and take away all your stress, tell me
Music, no further questions you have passed my test
[Verse 6]
Happy people
Ooh, keeps the world turning
Oh I believe it
Happy people
Keep us dancing
Happy people
Keep us, keep us stepping
Happy people
Oh, keeps us grooving
[Verse 7]
I just want to get dressed and go out, yeah
I wanna get dressed, I wanna go out, can you tell me where the spot it
Well we're partying all night, and everybody is having a good time
I wanna get nice, I wanna get live, can you tell me where the spot is
Come and take me to that place
Where there ain't nothing but happy, whoa
Happy people
They keep the world turning
I'm talking about happy people
They keep the world dancing yeah
Oh happy people

Yeah, nothing but happy people
Yeah, keeps the world grooving
[Verse 8]
Uh uh uh, alright, uh huh
Now if you want to step
You gotta play it by the rules
You gotta do what Ido
When I do, what I do
If you want to step
You gotta play it by the rules
You gotta do what Ido
When I do, what I do

Wayne Williams keep the groove right there baby
We gon have some fun

Now we all know no matter how much
I sing about happy people and love and all those good things
It's still gonna be somebody out there with attitude, right?
Right?
But that's OK because this album we gon change things with this album baby
Because I know in my heart that it's way more people out there loving that it is hating
Ain't that right
Huh?
Well this is what we gon do
I want all of the people out there with love in they hearts
That's positive that feels real good about themselves, loves themselves
I want y'all to repeat after me
And maybe those few haters, they'll tag along aright?
Y'all ready? Come on, one two three
[Verse 16]
Now first of all love god
Love myself
Love one another
No matter what the color
Respect that woman
Respect that man
You see a person down
Then give em a hand
Hit the health club
Every now and then
Put a smile on your face
And make a friend
Stop that hatin
And negativity
Love your neighbor
Said the powers that be
You goin' through something
Don't take it out on me
Just ask God to fix it
Now be happy
Happy people baby
