[Verse 1] [B] Music is a world with- [G#m] in itself, With a [G] language we all under- [F#] stand. [B] With an equal oppor- [G#m] tunity, For all to [G] sing, dance, and clap their [F#] ha- [F7] nds.
[Bridge 1] But just be- [E9] cause a [D#9] record [D9] has a [C#9] groove, Don't [D9] make it [D#9] in the [E9] groove. But you can [E9] tell right a- [D#9] way at [D9] letter [C#9] A, When the [D9] peo- [D#9] ple [E9] start [F9] to [F#9] move. [F#7]

[Verse 2] [B] Music knows it is and [G#m] always will, Be one of [G] the things that life just won't [F#] quit. [B] But here are some of music's [G#m] pioneers, That time will [G] not allow us to for- [F#] get; [F7]
[Bridge 2] For there's [E9] Basie, [D#9] Miller, [D9] Satch- [C#9] mo, And the [D9] King of [D#9] all, Sir [E9] Duke. And with a [E9] voice like [D#9] Ella's [D9] ringing [C#9] out, There's no [D9] way [D#9] the [E9] band [F9] can [F#9] lose. [F#7]
