SIR DUKE

Stevie Wonder

Everybody say la la la la
Eh! Oh!

Music is a world within itself


With a language we all understand
With an equal opportunity
For all to sing, dance and clap their hands

But just because a record has a groove


Don't make it in the groove
But you can tell right away at letter A
When the people start to move

They can feel it all over


They can feel it all over people
They can feel it all over
They can feel it all over people. Go!

(INSTRUMENTAL) Girl. Ah ah ah. Yeah

Music knows it is and always will


Be one of the things that life just won't quit
But here are some of music's pioneers
That time will not allow us to forget, no…
For there's Basie, Miller, Sachimo
And the king of all Sir Duke
And with a voice like Ella's ringing out
There's no way the band can lose

You can feel it all over


You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people

You can feel it all over


I can feel it all over-all over now people

Can't you feel it all over


Everybody-all over people, Go!

(INSTRUMENTAL) Oh yeah. Ah
