Tribute (Right On) Songtext
von The Pasadenas

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)
Otis Redding, God may rest his soul
Play back James Brown
How he slides I don′t know

Motor City
That gave us the motown tunes
Oh, they laid the foundation, Lord
And made Detroit something new, yeah

We're talking ′bout Marvin Gaye (what's going on)
Little Stevie (for once in my life)
Smokey (tears of a clown)
Supremes (baby love)

(Right on, right on)
I said that beat was right on (right on, right on)
On and on and on, yeah (right on, right on)
Say, my brother, right on (right on, right on)

Ike and Tina (right on, right on)
Aretha Franklin (right on, right on)
Wilson, big man (right on, right on)
Jimmy Hendrix (right on, right on)
Sound of Philly (Sound of Philly)
Jackson 5 (The Jackson 5)
All these sounds are still alive

Blow, Horace, blow

We're right on (right on, right on)
We′re right on (right on, right on)
We′re right on (right on, right on)
We're right on (right on, right on)
We′re right on (right on, right on)
We're right on
