[Chorus]
Hey!
Turn the radio✦ on, let the music✦ play
If I could, I'd dance my life away✦
And if you can't seem to find any✦ words to say
Make a joyful✦ noise, look around,✦ it's another✦ day
[Verse 2]
Hey, now! When you see me, you would know that you saw me
Because✦ he always got on his game and his good shoes
Difficult to stop creating, can't wait
'Cause they came to see Dr. Green tell 'em the good news
Isn't it ironic✦ how it feels so good
But I was only✦ just singing✦ the blues?
I wouldn't open✦ my mouth about✦ it at all
If I thought that I was only✦ just singing✦ to fools
Have mercy✦ if I seem to be heavy,✦ I don't mean to be heavy✦
Maybe, 'Lo, you should lighten up
I really✦ would, if I could
But I really✦ don't think that anybody'd shell out enough
And I really✦ think true wealth is home and happiness and health
(And health) A little cash and you'll need nothing else
And, as far as me being good, I can't help myself
[Chorus]
Hey!
Turn the radio✦ on, let the music✦ play
If I could, I'd dance my life away✦
And if you can't seem to find any✦ words to say
Make a joyful✦ noise, look around,✦ it's another✦ day
[Verse 2]
So when you really,✦ really✦ need you some soul
I mean, dead serious,✦ damn near 'bout to die 'bout some
Don't be too proud to turn the radio✦ way up loud
Close your eyes and have fun
I used✦ to feel like God was gonna call me too soon
The reason✦ why I had to have my son
And every✦ time I've ever opened✦ my mouth
And said something 'bout living,✦ was to earn me one
Have mercy✦ if I seem to be heavy,✦ I don't mean to be heavy✦
Wait, I'm almost done
And God can truly✦ work a miracle
Look at me, isn't it obvious✦ that I'm one? (Whew!)
And I sing because✦ I'm happy✦
And I sing because✦ I'm free (I'm free!)
And this my own little thing, yes, I agree
But, don't you want your kids to grow up to be just like me? (Woo!)
[Chorus]
Hey!
Turn the radio✦ on, let the music✦ play
If I could, I'd dance my life away✦
And if you can't seem to find any✦ words to say
Make a joyful✦ noise, look around,✦ it's another✦ day
