Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
The Soulsonic Force, Mr. Biggs, Pow Wow and MC Globe
Shakin’ your soul and it’s sort of mad
When the music is frantic and the spirit is happenin’
State of mind, it’s a reminisce
In a musical sense if you get right to it
It’s timely situation
With your own creation
Should be electric, cause it’s frantic
Isn’t it a wonder
We are the gun and thunder
We’re on the same mission
Come on everybody listen
People all across the nation
Who thinks they have imagination
Everyone wants to see you groove
And cause your frantic body to move
It’s a frantic situation
It’s a frantic situation
It’s a frantic situation
It’s a frantic situation
Zing zang zing zang zang zang
So come on everybody
Everybody come on
Let’s all get together and rock along
Twist and scream and shout
Shout
Twist and scream and shout
Now do what you came here to
In order to get ready you gotta get loose
Say!
Say what?
Everybody say
Say!
Say what?
It’s a frantic, it’s a frantic situation
Situation
Worldwide, worldwide
It’s a musical drive
Ain’t masturbation
It’s a proclamation
All across the nation
It’s a happy situation
Now say
Zing zang zing zang zang zang
It’s a frantic situation
It’s a frantic situation
It’s a frantic situation
It’s a frantic situation
