Lyrics

Everybody, get in the groove and let the good times roll

I'm gonna stay here till I soothe my soul

If it takes all night long

Yeah

It might be one o'clock and it might be three

Time don't mean that much to me

I ain't had that much fun since I don't know when

And I might not feel this good again

Oh, get in the groove and let the good times roll

I'm gonna stay here till I soothe my soul

If it takes all night long

Yeah

All night

Takes all day

All night

And all day

I'm gonna get in the groove and let the good times roll

Stay here till I soothe my soul

If it takes all night long

Yeah

It might be one o'clock, and it might be three

I don't care 'cause time means nothing to me

I ain't been swinging since I don't know when

And I might not be swinging this way again

Oh, get in the groove and let the good times roll

You can stay here 'til you soothe your soul

If it takes all night long

Yeah

All night

And all day

All night

And all day

I'm gon' stay here, I ain't gonna move

Come on, soul brother, help me find the groove

I don't care who's knocking on the door

Somebody
