[Verse 1]
Is ev'rybody here? Well, then alright and we’re ready
Put your hands together and give me some backbeat clappin'
Turn the lights up a little so we can see ev'rybody
And now with your attention I will mention all the boys in the band

[Verse 2]
Mississippi’s on the drums, and the bass guitar is from Texas
And the organ boss man and the singer was raised in the Northwest
Now, the electric guitar has come far from the heart of the Southland
And now with your permission I will listen to the boys in the band

[Chorus]
Hey ev'rybody, got to have a good time
Listen to the music and clap your hands
Hey ev'rybody, got to have a good time
Listen to the boys in the band

Waaah!

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
If you like we invite you to stay all the way to the closin'
And we will perform you a song not too long in composin'
So try to unwind, get your mind in a pleasant condition
And now with your permission we will listen to the boys in the band
[Chorus]
Hey ev'rybody, got to have a good time
Listen to the music and clap your hands
Hey ev'rybody, got to have a good time
Listen to the boys in the band

Waaah!

[Outro]
