Tribute (Right On)

Listen up, y'all, this rhythm's a mama
Hit it
Shake it now
Oh, just shake it now
Tribute

Hey, I wanna tell you a story
It's about the groove
Alright now, look here
Hope it makes you move
And get your rhythm too
Yeah, oh yeah

Well, there's music from the past
Music for the young and old
Music revelation, rock and roll and soul

So right on (right on, right on)
I said the beat was right on (right on, right on)
On and on and on
Right on (right on, right on)
Everybody
Right on (right on, right on)

And there was Little Richard (Tutti Frutti)
And Elvis too (shook up, shook up, shook up)
Way back in the '50s (way back, way back, way back)
And they were doing it for me and you

Well I know there is a way
With music we can say
These songs are in our blood
So let them play 'cause it's happening today

Right on (right on, right on)
I said that beat was right on (right on, right on)
On and on
I said the beat was right on (right on, right on)
Good God
I said the beat was right on, yeah (right on, right on)

And we see it all so clear
The music while we're here
And we need it everyday
No doubt about it we, can show the way

Talk about Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson was their name
Ever since then things ain't been the same
(Ain't been the same)
