Sly & the Family Stone Medley: Dance to the Music/Music Lover/I Want to Take You Higher Lyrics

Cynthia: Get up and dance to the music!
Get on up and dance to the fonky music!
All: Dance to the Music, Dance to the Music
Freddie: Hey Greg!
Greg: What?
Freddie: All we need is a drummer,
for people who only need a beat
I'm gonna add a little guitar
and make it easy to move your feet
Larry: I'm gonna add some bottom,
so that the dancers just won't hide
Sly: You might like to hear my organ
playing "Ride Sally Ride"
You might like to hear the horns blowin',
Cynthia on the throne, yeah!
Cynthia & Jerry got a message they're sayin':
Cynthia: All the squares, go home!
All: Dance to the Music, Dance to the Music
