(B. Cummings - D. Troiano)
Round about â20 the folks had plenty
No, they couldnât ask for too much more,
THE FATHA kept thumpinâ and THE SATCH got jumpinâ
And they rang right through with a roar,
Then around â30 when things got dirty
All the players meant a whole lot more
THE DUKE got stompinâ and THE COUNT started rompinâ
And what do you think it was for?
They put power in the music, and boy, you oughta hear it now,
They put power in the music, the boys are gonna show you how...
Round about â40 when things got sporty
They were dancinâ every night till dawn,
THE BIRD got âem hoppinâ with his crazy be-boppinâ
And FRANKIE crooned on and on,
Then around â50 when folks got nifty
They were gettinâ round to bendinâ an ear,
CHUCK was duck-walkinâ and THE KING got rockinâ
And what do you think was here?
They got power in the music, and boy, you oughta hear it now,
They got power in the music, the boys are gonna show you how...
Then FOUR BOYS made a brand new noise, from far beyond the sea.
We loved ALL FOUR and we yelled for more, it was natural as could be,
Watts went up and loose ends went down, now itâs anything it wants to be.
We got power in the music, and boy you oughta hear it now,
We got power in the music, the boys are gonna show you how,
Donât you know they gave it power, power in the music,
YAH YAH YAH,
Canât you feel it giving you now, power in the music,
YAY, YAY, YAY,
Canât you feel it growing every day, power in the music,
YAZ,YAZ,YAZ,
Donât you feel it disbursing, power in the music,
YAH, YAH, YAH
You see them dancing up and down now, thereâs power in the music,
YAY, YAY, YAY,
I feel it growing every day now, thereâs power in the music,
YAZ, YAZ, YAZ.
