Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm getting the spirit in the dark (Mmm hmm)
I'm getting the spirit in the dark (Mmm hmm)
People moving, oh, ain't we grooving
Just getting the spirit (Mmm) in the dark
[Verse 2]
Tell me, sister, how do ya feel?
Tell me, my brother, brother, brother, how do you feel?
If you feel like chancing, get up and let's start dancing
Start getting the spirit (Start getting the spirit)
Spirit in the dark (In the dark)
[Verse 3]
It's like Sally Walker sitting in a saucer
That's how you do it, it ain't nothing to it
Ride, Sally, ride
Put your hand on your hips, cover your eyes
[Verse 4]
And move (Move) with the spirit (With the spirit)
Go on and move (Move) move with the spirit (With the spirit)
Ah, move (Move) move with the spirit now, now, now (With the spirit)
Move (Move) with the spirit
[Verse 5]
Are you gettin the spirit? (Yeah)
Are you getting it in the dark? (Yeah)
I wonder are you getting the spirit (Yeah)
Getting the spirit in the dark? (Yeah)
People moving, yeah, everybody's grooving
Just getting the spirit (Start getting the spirit)
Are you getting it, are you getting it in the dark? (In the dark)
[Verse 6]
It's like Sally Walker sitting in a saucer
That's how you do it, now get on up to it
Ride, Sally, ride
Put your hand on your hips, cover your eyes
[Verse 7]
And move on (Move) with the spirit (With the spirit)
Go on, move (Move) move with the spirit (With the spirit)
Move (Move) with the spirit (With the spirit)
Yeah, now, move (Move) move with the spirit
[Verse 8]
(I think I've got it)
[Verse 9]
All of my brothers (Move with the spirit)
All of my sisters (Move with the spirit)
Move (Move with the spirit)
With the spirit (Move with the spirit)
Keep on moving (Move with the spirit, go)
Keep on grooving (Move with the spirit, go)
Moving (Move with the spirit, go)
Keep on grooving (Move with the spirit, go)
[Verse 10]
(Move with the spirit)
(Move with the spirit)
(Move with the spirit)
(Move with the spirit)
(Move with the spirit)
(Move with the spirit)
(Move with the spirit)
(Move with the spirit)...
