I met a wise man on a mountaintop
And then I asked him "whats the secret pop? "
The people down below we all wanna know, how to play the game of life before we got to go"
He looked at me and said "I've pondered long
Listening to mothers natures song
And let me tell you son, life ain't just for fun
But if you want to have a ball here's how you get it done
You got to swing what you got to save you soul
Swing what you got before it gets old
When troubles get around
Don't stop to frown
Just put on your dancing shoes and dance step outta' town
The world is full of music dont you know?
Not just what is just on your radio
So here's my answer boy
For everlasting joy
Just swing what you got to save your soul
You got to
You got to
You got to
You got to
You got to
You got to
You got to scream!
Swing what you got to save your soul
Swing what got before it gets old
When troubles get around
Don't stop to frown
Just put on your dancing shoes and dance step outta' town
The world is full of music don't you know?
Not what is just on your radio
So every gal and gate
Come on lets celebrate
And swing what you got to save your soul
Swing what you got to save your soul
