Lyrics sample  -

’Cos when you’re down an’ friendless,

Feel your trouble’s endless,

Let the music take you into freedom!

Just open up and listen.

Feel that beat ’n’ rhythm.

Let the music take you into freedom!

Can’t stop movin’ when you feel that beat,

Gotta move your arms, gotta move your feet!

Can’t stop movin’ when you feel that beat,

Gotta move your feet right now!

’Cos it’ll pick you up, it’ll shake you down,

It’ll make you smile.

We’ll show you how, help you turn things round.

Get up off that ground!

Just move your feet. Move to the beat... (etc.)
