[Intro]
Yeah, ah
[Verse 1]
Ah the language of music Is known around the world
It's the language that's understood by people everywhere
(Yes everywhere)
Soon you'll hear the trumpets begin to blow
Ah listen to the trombones playing way down low
Well everybody seems to be playing
With a lot of soul
Fellas do you mind if I join in and play along
Everybody yeah
[Bridge]
Just a little bit of drum
[Verse 2]
Ahh I think the drummer has found a new groove
Listen close and you will hear the saxophones move
If you're feelin' what you hearing well don't you know
Yeah, ah it's just the music that friendly music talking to your soul
It can make you blue or make you feel so glad
It's best way of talking that man has ever had
Everybody around the world sing with me now
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
