Are you getting the spirit in the dark
Are you getting the spirit in the dark
People moving, ah, tell me we're grooving
Just getting the spirit in the dark
Tell me, sisters, how do you feel
Tell me, my brothers, my brothers
How do you feel
(do you feel like dancing)
Get up there and let's start dancing
(get up and let's start dancing)
Start getting in the spirit
Oh, getting in the dark
(spirit in the dark)
Just like sally walker
Sitting in a saucer
That's how you do it
Just go on, get on up to it
Ride, sally, ride
Put your hands on your hips
Cover your eyes, and move
(come on get it)
Get in the spirit
(move with the spirit)
Come on and move, get in the spirit
(darling, move, move with the spirit)
Oh move, get in the spirit
Help me move
(move)
With the spirit
(spirit)
Are you getting the spirit
(spirit in the dark)
I wanna know, are you getting the spirit
(getting the spirit)
Getting it in the spirit
Are you getting the spirit
(getting the spirit)
Keep moving
Oh hey, we're rocking and grooving
Just getting in the spirit
(getting the spirit)
Oh in the dark
We're gonna do it one more time
It's just like sally walker
Sitting in that great big flying saucer
Hey, that's how you do it
Get down and get on up to it
(come on and get it)
Ride, sally, ride
Put your hands on your hips
Cover your eyes, and move
(move, move on)
Move with the spirit
I'm telling you to groove
(groove on)
Groove with the spirit
(on and on)
Go on and move
(move)
With the spirit
(spirit)
Come on and groove
(move it)
Groove with the spirit
(move on)
On and on
(yeah)
Help me, help me, help me
Help me move, move, move, move
Move, move, move, move
Move, move, move, move
Move, move, move, move
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
(you got it, you got it)
(you got the spirit)
