Is it the melody that makes you want to sing?

Aah-aah-aah, tell me, what could it be (what could it be?)
Mama, tell me, what in the funk do you see?
Oh, whatever it is, it's really got a hold on me, yeah (hey girl, yeah)

This record music was playing in my brain
The mass confusion is driving me insane
The hell with Woodstock, I'm going on Soul Train, yeah
Aah-aah-aah, tell me, what could it be? (What could it be?)
Mama, tell me, what in the funk do you see? (What do you see?)

Aah-aah-aah, tell me, what could it be? Hey, come on, yeah (what could it be?)
Mama, tell me, what in the funk do you see? (Tell me, what in the funk do you see?)
Oh, whatever it is, it's really got a hold on me, hey-hey
Come on (do it) yeah

Come and watch me dance
