Light up, everybody
Join us in this celebration
Light up and be happy
Sweet, sweet sounds will fill the air
Every day's a holiday when your lips meet mine
The music's keepin' time with our love
You are here, so am I and weather's quite divine
So pass me round your wine, lovely one
All I need is just one hit to get me by
'Cause baby when your here I'm halfway high
Light up, everybody

Light up and be happy
Sweet, sweet sounds will fill the air
Light up, everybody

Light up and be happy
Sweet, sweet sounds will fill the air
Light up, everybody
Join us in this celebration
Light up and be happy
Sweet, sweet sounds will fill the air
Light up, everybody
Join us in this celebration
Light up and be happy
Sweet, sweet sounds will fill the air

Styx

Styx is a rock band from Chicago formed in 1970. They enjoyed great success with pop rock and hard rock songs, and became famous for their power ballads and album releases of the mid 1970s and early 80s.

The band has gone through some famously nasty internal struggles, drug problems, illnesses and deaths, but continues to perform today (with a significantly altered line-up). Tommy Shaw, from Montgomery, AL, left but returned to the band. Drummer John Panozzo developed a debilitating drinking problem and ultimately died. Dennis DeYoung developed an acute case of photosensitivity, and he left the band. They fought among themselves for control of the band name. Glen Burtnik also left and returned, this time on bass, to replace Chuck Panozzo (John’s brother), who had also left the band. (whew.)
