[Chorus]
Everybody get in the groove and let the good times roll
I'm going to stay here 'til I soothe my soul
If it takes all night long

[Verse]
Yeah, it might be one o'clock and it might be three
Time don't mean that much to me
I ain't had this much fun since I don't know when
And I might not feel this good again

[Chorus]
Oh, get in the groove and let the good times roll
I'm going to stay here 'til I soothe my soul
If it takes all night long, yeah

[Bridge]
All night
Takes all day
All night and all day

[Chorus]
I'm gonna get in the groove and let the good times roll
Stay here still I soothe my soul
If it takes all night long

[Verse]
Yeah, it might be one o'clock and it might be three
I don't care 'cause time means nothing to me
I've been swingin' since I don't know when
And I might not be swingin' this way again

[Chorus]
Oh, get in the groove and let the good times roll
You can stay here 'til you soothe your soul
If it takes all night long, yeah

[Outro]
All night
All day
All night and all day
I'm gonna stay here
I ain't gonna move
Go on, soul brother
Help me find the groove
I don't care who's knocking on my door
Somebody answer

Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin is both a 20th and 21st century musical and cultural icon known simply by her first Aretha. She is the reigning and undisputed “Queen Of Soul” with a legacy that spans five decades. A native of Detroit, Michigan, Aretha began her career singing gospel at her father, minister C. L. Franklin’s church as a child. In 1960, at the age of 18, Aretha embarked on a secular career, recording for Columbia Records with modest success.

After moving to Atlantic Records in 1967, she released a steady string of US top ten hits through 1973 including “Spanish Harlem”, “Chain Of Fools”, “Baby I Love You”, “Since You’ve Been Gone”, “Daydreaming”, “The House That Jack Built”, “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman", ”Think“ and her first chart-topper “Respect” – a song that also won Aretha her first of 18 Grammys. During this time, several of her songs were also successful overseas.

By the mid-70s, Aretha’s commercial success waned and she left Atlantic for Clive Davis' Arista Records in 1980. Her 1982 song “Jump to It,” returned her to the top 40 for the first time in six years. 1985’s Who’s Zoomin' Who? got her back into the top 10 twice with its title track and “Freeway Of Love”. Four more songs reached the top 40 through 1986.
