Blow horns you sure sound pretty
Your violins keep movin' to the nitty gritty
When you hear the scratch of the guitars scratchin'
Then you'll know that rhythm carries all the action

Flute player play your flute cause
I know you want to get your thing on
But you see I've made up my mind about it
It's got to be the rhythm, no doubt about it
Oh oh

Cause when the guitar player start playing
With the syncopated rhythm
With the scratch, scratch, scratch
Makes me wanna move my body
Yeah, yeah, yeah

And when the drummer starts beating that beat
He nails that beat with the syncopated rhythm
With the rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat on the drums
