Occapella
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's music in the streets
And music in the air
A little ol' soul beat
Dancin everywhere
I would tell the whole world
I'd tell 'em if I could
To add a little song into each life
And make it finger poppin' good
Whoa, whoa
Oh pardon me but you could use it
We're gonna make a little music
You got soul now don't you lose it
We're gonna make a little music
Everything's gonna be mellow
We would just sing it occapella
Everything's gonna be mellow
Listen while we sing it occapella
Whoa, whoa
[Vocal breakdown]
[Repeat from top, fade out at the end]
