I like to groove no matter where I am

From Detroit City down to Alabama

It has moved me heart and soul

It's a whole philosophy to me

A good groove will turn your head around

Get your body moving into gear
Bb
That's why the world's been turning all these years

It can't be learned in school
Bb                 F       C       A
It's the law, baby It's the golden rule
