I have been singing in rock bands on and off for over 35 years, and lyrics are my thing, you see! This song wraps up not only how I feel about my music, but also about my life.
"I've Got The Music In Me" Thelma Houston & Pressure Cooker
(yeah, I know Ki Ki Dee did it, but you HAVE to hear Miss Thelma's version!)
Ain't got no troubles in my life!
No foolish dreams to make me cry!
I'm never frightened or worried!
I know I'll always get by!
I heat up, I cool down,
When something gets in my way I go round it!
Don't let life get me down,
Gonna take it the way that I found it cuz y'all..
(chorus)
I got the music in me, I got the music in me, I got the music in me
(yeah yeah yeah yeah)
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
But that ain't the way that I found it.
Gonna move in a straight line (WHOOO)
Keeping my feet planted firmly on the ground!
I heat up, 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, cuz y'all
(chorus)
I got the music in me, I got the music in me, I got the music in me
Yes I do down in my bones!
I got the music in me, I got the music in me, I got the music in me
Feel FUNKY
Feel REAL GOOD y'all
I'm gonna tell it all through the neighborhood y'all!!!!!
Chorus!!
And at the end I got to sing it like this
"pretty pretty pretty PRI IT TY music....I got the MUUUUUUUUU sic in me,
YEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
And the crowd goes WILD!!
lolololol
Thanks for letting me re-live some really awesome memories!!
HUGS!!
