Ain't got no trouble in my life, No foolish dream to make me cry. I'm never frightened or worried, I know I'll always get by. I heat up (I heat up) I cool down (I cool down) When something gets in my way I go round it. Don't let life get me down Gonna take life the way that I found it. [Chorus] I got the music in me I got the music in me I got the music in me I got the music in me I got the music in me I got the music in me They say that life is a circle (circle) But that ain't the way that I've found it. Gonna move in a straight line (ooh) Keeping my feet firmly on the ground. I heat up (I heat up) I cool down (I cool down) I got words in my head so I say them. Don't let life get me down, Catch a hold of my blues and just play them. [Chorus] Feel funky Feel good Gonna tell ya I'm in the neighborhood Gonna fly like a bird on the wing Hold on to your hat honey, Sing, sing, sing, sing Heat up, cool down (cool down) I got words in my head so I say them Don't let life get me down (Don't let it get ya down) Catch a hold of my blues and just play them. [Chorus x2] Ain't got no trouble in my life, No foolish dream to make me cry. I'm never frightened I'm never worried, I know, I know I'll always get by. I got the music Pretty music I got the music In me Don't let it get ya down Don't let it get ya down Don't let it get you down Don't let it get ya down Don't let it get ya down Don't let it get you down Ha, ha, ha, ha [Chorus] Don't let it get ya down Don't let it get ya down Don't let it get you down I got the music in me I got the music in me I got the music in me Don't let it get ya down Don't let it get ya down Don't let it get you down
