To the sounds of a guitar These songs from the South help me get far Where it come from? From them backwoods Up North want a taste 'cau' it that good That Cold, 'mind you of Max Rose Mean to tell me that it's all from these flat notes Sharp notes, Lee in them sharp clothes Everybody in my band strike a sharp pose Smooth yet I'm blacker than charcoal Everybody in the nightclub, y'all know Said all we want is soul Soul is all we need When we run into the fork inside the road A little jazz and r&b Nothin' like a little groove to soothe the mood For when ya choose to move your feet Let the choir sing Heh, let the choir sing Let the choir sing Now back to the 1940s When all we wanted to do was party A little Earl Hines and Tom Dorsey surely Fats Domino gotta show a little somethin' Little Jimmy Scott givin' it all or nothin' Girls struttin' showin' off their rags Dancin' as if it might be their last Never know with the climate 'Cau' the news say when the bomb hit This time it's atomic Said all we want is soul Soul is all we need When we run into the fork inside the road A little jazz and r&b Nothin' like a little groove to soothe the mood For when ya choose to move your feet Let the choir sing Heh, let the choir sing Let the choir sing Uh Now I'm howlin' like The Wolf So if y'all decide to look Just know that it's not about the woods No sa', more like NY, the great depression I done been up north, ain't no great impression Little difference but same direction When it come to the negro ain't no reverence That's real if you know what it sound like Real soul from the heart, laid it down like Said all we want is soul Soul is all we need when we run into the fork inside the road A little jazz and r&b Nothin' like a little groove to soothe the mood For when ya choose to move your feet Let the choir sing Let the church in the choir sing We gon' do it a little sum' like dis here We gon' do a little sumpin' like this here, listen Now what I say to a Ampex reel Everyday when I jam that's real You relate then you know how I feel What they call Babyboomer, heart of Nkrumah Think that I know wish I had known sooner Never look to the moon for the sunlight And never bring a knife to a gun fight Don't argue with fools lookin' dumb like Them 'cause you ain't finna win with no dumb guy Said all we want is soul Soul is all we need When we run into the fork inside the road A little jazz and r&b Nothin' like a little groove to soothe the mood For when ya choose to move your feet Let the choir sing Heh, let the choir sing Let the saints in the choir sing Look here Dennis, I think we got another one, heh The Rap Soulettes, Jimmy Lee, Effingham Records We flyin' now, Dennis, look like we got wings on this one Look like we got wings, I'm gone
