[Verse 1]
Music is a teacher, well
That can teach you right from wrong
Cause if you listen closely, well
There's a lesson in the song
Music is a doctor, well
That can cure a troubled mind
Listen to the music (say it again)
The rhythms and the rhymes, well

[Chorus]
Cause music's takin' over
Music makes you dance, well
Music's takin' over
Just give music a chance (say it again)

[Verse 2]
Music is a comfort, well
When you're all alone
Just turn up your music
And you don't need nobody home
Music is a power
People depend on every day
They make their decision
By the records that they play, oh
[Chorus]
Music's takin' over
(Say it again now)
Music makes you dance
(Music makes you, makes you wanna dance)
Music's takin' over
Just give music a chance
(Oh, say it again)

[Interlude]
Let's dance, let's dance
Let's dance, let's dance, oh

Let's dance, let's dance
Let's dance, let's dance, oh

Music is a sound
That makes the boys and girls get down
(Get down)
Music is a sound
That makes the boys and girls get down
(Get down)

Listen to the music, listen to the music
Listen to the music
Listen to the music
[Chorus]
Music's takin' over
(Takin' over, ay, ay)
Music makes you dance
(Makes you, makes you wanna dance)
Music's takin' over
Just give music a chance
(You wanna get down, get down, ay)

Music's takin' over
Music makes you dance
(Makes you wanna get down, get down, ay)
Music's takin' over
(Music's takin' over)

[Break]

[Chorus]
Music's takin' over
(Music, music, music's takin' over)
Music makes you dance
(Oh, oh, music's takin' over)
Music's takin' over
(Music makes you dance)

Music's takin' over
Music makes you dance
Music's takin' over
