Ringo Starr – Occapella lyrics

By Allen Toussaint

GROOVY!

AH, THERE'S MUSIC IN THE STREETS AND THERE'S MUSIC IN THE AIR.
A LITTLE OL' SOUL BEAT, AND THERE'S DANCIN' EV'RYWHERE.
I WOULD TELL THE WHOLE WORLD, TELL 'EM IF I COULD,
TO ADD A LITTLE SONG INTO EACH LIFE,
OH, IT'S A-FINGER SNAPPIN' GOOD.

OH -
OH -

AH, PARDON ME, BOYS, BUT COULD YOU USE IT?
WE'RE GONNA MAKE A LITTLE MUSIC.
YOU GOT SOUL, NOW DON'TCHA LOSE IT,
WE'RE GONNA MAKE A LITTLE MUSIC.
EV'RYTHING'S GONNA BE MELLOW,
WE GON' JUST A-SINGIN' OCCAPELLA.
EV'RYTHING'S GONNA BE MELLOW,
WE GON' JUST A-SINGIN' OCCAPELLA.

OH -
OH -

HEY!

AH-AH-AH-AH-AH, AH-AH-AH-AH-AH,
AH-AH-AH-AH-AH, AH-AH-AH-AH-AH.
DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA - JABBA DABBA DABBA DABBA DI DAH.
DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA - JABBA DABBA DABBA DABBA DI DAH.

OH, THERE'S DANCIN' IN THE STREETS AND THERE'S MUSIC IN THE AIR.
A LITTLE OL' SOUL BEAT, AND THERE'S DANCIN' EV'RYWHERE.
I WOULD TELL THE WHOLE WORLD, TELL 'EM IF I COULD,
TO ADD A LITTLE SONG INTO EACH LIFE,
YOU KNOW IT'S FINGER POPPIN' GOOD.

OH -
OH -

PARDON ME, BOYS, BUT COULD YOU USE IT?
WE'RE GONNA MAKE A LITTLE MUSIC.
YOU GOT SOUL, NOW DON'TCHA LOSE IT,
WE'RE GONNA MAKE A LITTLE MUSIC.
EV'RYTHING'S GONNA BE MELLOW,
WE GON' JUST A-SINGIN' OCCAPELLA,
EV'RYTHING'S GONNA BE MELLOW,
WE GON' JUST A-SINGIN' OCCAPELLA.

I SAID, EV'RYTHING'S GONNA BE MELLOW,
EV'RYBODY'S SINGIN' OCCAPELLA.
I SAID, EV'RYTHING'S GONNA BE MELLOW,
EV'RYBODY'S SINGIN' OCCAPELLA.
EV'RYTHING'S GONNA BE.
