Sir Duke

Music is a world within itself

With a language we all understand
With an equal opportunity
For all to sing, dance and clap their hands
But just because a record has a groove
Don't make it in the groove
But you can tell right away at letter A
When the people start to move

Music knows it is and always will

Be one of the things that life just won't quit
But here are some of music's pioneers
That time will not allow us to forget
For there's Basie, Miller, Sachimo
And the king of all Sir Duke
And with a voice like Ella's ringing out
There's no way the band can lose
Play that Funky Music
Hey, Once I was a funky singer playin' in a Rock and Roll Band
I never had no problems, yeah
Burnin' down one night stands
And everything around me, yeah
Got to stop to feelin' so low And I decided quickly (Yes I did)
To disco down and check out the show

I tried to understand this

I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish (How could I)
To not see I was the one behind
So still I kept on fighting
Well, loosing every step of the way
I said, I must go back there (I got to go back)
And check to see if things still the same

Now first it wasn't easy

Changin' Rock and Roll and minds and things were getting
shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
But now its so much better (it's so much better)
I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feelin' (no I won't)
Of how I learned my lesson that day
Brick House
She's a brick----house
Mighty mighty, just lettin' it all hang out
She's a brick----house
The lady's stacked and that's a fact,
ain't holding nothing back.

She's a brick----house
She's the one, the only one,
who's built like a amazon
We're together everybody knows,
and here's how the story goes.

Verse:
1. She knows she got everything
a woman needs to get a man, yeah.
How can she use, the things she use
36-24-36, what a winning hand!

Verse:
2. The clothes she wears, the sexy ways,
make an old man wish for younger days
She knows she's built and knows how to please
Sure enough to knock a man to his knees

Bridge:
Shake it down, shake it down now (repeat)
Disco Inferno
Burn baby burn! Burn baby burn! Burn baby burn! Burn baby
burn!
Burnin'!

To mass fires, yes! One hundred stories high

People gettin' loose y’all gettin' down on the roof - Do you
hear?
(the folks are flaming) Folks were screamin' - out of control
It was so entertainin' - when the boogie started to explode
I heard somebody say

Burn baby burn! - Disco inferno!

Burn baby burn! - Burn that mama down
Burn baby burn! - Disco inferno!
Burn baby burn! - Burn that mama down
Burnin'!

Satisfaction (uhu hu hu) came in the chain reaction

(burnin') I couldn't get enough, (till I had to self-destroy) so I
had to
self destruct, (uhu hu hu)
The heat was on (burnin’), rising to the top, huh!
Everybody's goin' strong (uhu hu hu)
And that is when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say

Up above my head I hear music in the air - I hear music!

That makes me know there's (somebody) a party somewhere

Satisfaction came in a chain reaction - Do you hear?

I couldn't get enough, so I had to self destruct,
The heat was on, rising to the top
Everybody's goin' strong
That is when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say
Boogie Wonderland
Dance, boogie wonderland. Ha, ha, dance, boogie wonderland
Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts of men who need more
than they get
Daylight deals a bad hand to a woman who has laid too many
bets
The mirror stares you in the face and says,"Baby, uh, uh, it
don't work"
You say your prayers though you don't care; you dance and
shake the hurt

Dance, boogie wonderland. Ha, ha, dance, boogie wonderland

Sounds fly through the night; I chase my vinyl dreams to boogie
wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in boogie wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in boogie wonderland
All the love in the world can't be gone
All the need to be loved can't be wrong
All the records are playing and my heart keeps saying
"Boogie wonderland, wonderland"

Dance, boogie wonderland. Ha, ha, dance, boogie wonderland.

Ha, ha
I find romance when I start to dance in boogie wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in boogie wonderland
Never Too much

I can't fool myself, I don't want nobody else to ever love me

You are my shinin' star, my guiding light, my love fantasy
There's not a minute, hour, day or night that I don't love you
You're at the top of my list 'cause I'm always thinkin' of you

I still remember in the days when I scared to touch you

How I spent my day dreamin' plannin' how to say I love you
You must have known that I had feelings deep enough to swim
in
That's when you opened up your heart and you told me to
come in

Oh, my love
A thousand kisses from you is never too much
I just don't wanna stop

Oh, my love
A million days in your arms is never too much
I just don't wanna stop

Too much, never too much, never too much, never too much

Woke up today, looked at your picture just to get me started

I called you up, but you weren't there and I was broken hearted
Hung up the phone, can't be too late, the boss is so demandin'
Opened the door up and to my surprise there you were standin'

Well, who needs to go to work to hustle for another dollar

I'd rather be with you 'cause you make my heart scream and
holler
Love is a gamble and I'm so glad that I'm winnin'
We've come a long way and yet this is only the beginnin'

Oh, my love
A thousand kisses from you is never too much
(Never too much, never too much, never too much)
I just don't wanna stop

Oh, my love
A million days in your arms is never too much
(Never too much, never too much, never too much)
And I just don't wanna stop

Oh, my love
A thousand kisses from you is never
(Never too much, never too much, never too much)
I just don't wanna stop

Oh, my love
A million days in your arms is never too much
Saw her Standing There
Well, she was just 17
You know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another (Ooh)
When I saw her standing there

Well she looked at me, and I, I could see

That before too long I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another (Whooh)
When I saw her standing there

Well, my heart went "boom"

When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine...

Whoah, we danced through the night

And we held each other tight
And before too long I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another (Whooh)
Since I saw her standing there

Well, my heart went "boom"

When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine...

Whoah, we danced through the night

And we held each other tight
And before too long I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another (Whooh)
Since I saw her standing there

Relight My Fire

Help me escape this feelin' of insecurity

I need you so much but I don't think you really need me
But if we all stand up in the name of love
And state the case of what we're dreamin' of
I've got to say I only dream of you
But like a thief in the night you took away the love that I knew

Relight my fire, your love is my only desire

Relight my fire cos I need your love

Turn back the times 'til the days when our love was new
Do you remember
No matter what was happenin', I was there with you
But if we all stand up for what we believe
And maybe live within our possibilities
The world would be wild for the dream
So baby don't turn away, listen to what I gotta say

Relight my fire, your love is my only desire

Relight my fire cos I need your love
Relight my fire, your love is my only desire
Relight my fire cos I need your love, yeah
Lovely Day
When I wake up in the morning, love
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And something without warning, love
Bears heavy on my mind

Then I look at you

And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
... lovely day, lovely day, lovely day ...

When the day that lies ahead of me

Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way

Then I look at you

And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day.....

When the day that lies ahead of me

Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way

Then I look at you

And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day.....
Soul Man
Comin' to you on a dust road
Good lovin', I got a truck load
And when you get it, you got something
So don't worry, 'cause I'm coming

I'm a soul man, I'm a soul man

I'm a soul man, I'm a soul man, I've got it all

Got what I got the hard way

And I'll make it better each and every day
So honey, don't you fret
'Cause you ain't seen nothing yet

I was brought up on a side street, listen now

I learned how to love before I could eat
I was educated at Woodstock
When I start lovin', oh, I can't stop

Well, grab the rope and I'll pull you in

Give you hope and be your only boyfriend
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
