four scores and yesterdays and way back when just to begin my friends there was music in the air somewhere for those who wanted to sigh and even grin music for the soul so sweet relaxed their minds and moved their feet and kicked off a beat and they were dancin i said they were prancin whoa whoa they were dancin i said they were prancin people started everywhere to dig the sound and act a clown for you while others sat back in deep thought not knowing what to do it was really hard to accept and some minds were blown along with the rest i know and when it grew louder some folks got up and said they had to go the music grabbed them by the hands and snapped their fingers and then they dug the band they tried to run but that s where the fun begun they were dancin they were prancin i said they were dancin they were prancin dancin prancin dancin they were prancin i said they were dancin they were prancin dancin prancin
