Get it right
Free your mind

Change your style and wear a smile
Come on down and party wild

Be for real, do what you feel
You can make it but you got to feel
(You got to)
Do your best, it's all it takes
Get in the race and don't lose your pace
Are you sad, you should be glad
Get out your seat and get on your feet
Do it right now

Do it right now
Get together and do it forever
Do it right now

Change your style and wear a smile
Come on down and party wild
Be for real, do what you feel
You can make it but you got to feel

Do your best, it's all it takes
Get in the race and don't lose your pace
Are you sad, you should be glad
Get out your seat, get on your feet

Do it right now

Do it, do it, do it
Do it right now
Get together and do it forever
Do it right now

Do it, do it, do it
Do it right now
Do it right now
Do it, do it, do it
Do it right now
Uh, yeah!
Do it, do it, do it
Do it right now

Kool & the Gang is an American jazz, R&B, soul, funk, and disco group from Jersey City. They were originally named the Jazziacs when they formed the group in 1964.

They went through several musical phases during their recording career, starting out with a purist jazz sound, then funk and R&B, progressing to a smooth pop-funk ensemble, and in the post-millennium creating music with a modern, electro-pop sound.

The group was becoming prominent in the music industry in the 1970s with hits such as “Holly Wood Swinging”, “Jungle Boogie” and “Summer Madness”. However they cemented their legendary status after the addition of lead vocalist James “J.T.” Taylor. With his help they went on to create classic hits such as “Ladies Night”, “Celebration”, “Get Down On It”, “Cherish” and countless others.
