Hey, wait a minute
I think I see somethin'
Hey, is that you?
Hey, it's, uh, it's...
I found you
Water!

I searched the world thinking I'd never find you
All of my chances were a million to one
It seems that life would end before I found you
But now my journey's finally ended, yeah

I found my oasis
Yes, I found my oasis
When I found you
Hey, baby, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...

I see that now I should have never doubted
For now my time has finally come, ooh, yeah
It's been so long since I have waited for you
Baby, I know you're the one for me

I found my oasis
I found my oasis
When I found you
Hey, baby, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...

I found my oasis
Yes, I found my oasis
When I found you
Hey-hey, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
Baby, yeah

I found you finally!

I searched the world never thinking I'd find you
And now I have my oasis of love

I found my oasis
I found my oasis
When I found you

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.
