Lyrics:
CHORUS: -
Scat Singing

Abandon Your Worries – Slow Up – Don’t Hurry
Nooooo we gonna wait for you – the Dance is Not through

Abandon Your Worries – Ease Up
Smile a While n Lyme nah – The Dance is Not Thru Not Thru

VERSE 1:
As the Band is Passing everybody is Wondering yeah
What could this Be?
All the Girls are Dancing, and the Boys commence to Trancing
And it Starts to Feel Good
All the People Come Out – 1 or 2 Shout out
And It’s a Lovely Scene
Music’s Reaching Higher and Higher – People Looking Skyward
Start to Feel Free Feel Free

CHORUS: 2x

We trow all uh dem together and Fall inna Trance – and Daaaance
