Morning comes and like a scream the sun is shining
Feel it rushing back, the tide of blue so soon returning
Can't remember feeling happy free and clear
Then I hear that rhythm, once again my heart is pounding

The groove takes over
Sadness takes cover

Walking down the street, whispering the beat, it keeps me breathing
Shake my body out, see the sun is out, and soon I'm smiling
Tell her, take her best shot, I've got friends right here
Thank you James... Maceo... Fred, Clyde and Bootsy

The groove takes over
The groove's my lover

(trumpet, sax, guitar solos)

When the blues get you
You gotta get off the bunk and funk the groo
