All we need is a drummer,
For people who only need a beat, yeah!
[Drum solo.]
I'm gonna add a little guitar,
And make it easy to move your feet.
[Guitar solo.]
[Larry:]
I'm gonna add some bottom,
So that the dancers a-just won't hide.

You might like to hear my organ,
I said, "Ride, Sally, Ride, now"
[Organ solo.]

If I could a-hear the horns blow,
Cynthia on the throne, yeah!

All the squares, go home!
