(Hey Harmonica Man) Whatcha calling my name?
(Tell us if you can) It's my one big thing
(Does it really move?) Whatcha want to know?
(What they say you can't do) Ain't ya ever heard me blow?
Can you play that thing? (I can play that thing)
(Make it dance and sing?) Make you dance and sing
(Do it if you can can can Harmonica man)
Aw I'm gonna blow now
[Harmonica solo]
[Bridge: Background]
Now we've been searching for a long long time
To find a way to leave our trouble behind
We've been down under and we've sure been blue
Come on and play it like we know you can do
[Stevie Wonder + (background)]
(Hey Harmonica Man) What'cha calling me for?
(Come on and take a stand) You wanna dance some more?
(We wanna dance some more) Everything's alright
(And on the sandy shore) I can play all night!
(Do the Monkey Watusi) Do the Monkey Watusi
(Or play a little bluesy) Or play a little bluesy
(Do it if you can can can, Harmonica Man)
Ha ha, we're gonna wail now
[Harmonica solo]
