[Lyrics] Everybody, get in the groove and let the good times roll; I'm gon' stay here 'til I soothe my soul, If it takes all night long... 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... Oh! Get in the groove and let the good times roll; I'm gon' stay here 'til I soothe my soul, If it takes all night long, yeah... All night - it takes all day... All night, and all day... I'm gonna get in the groove and let the good times roll... Stay here 'til I soothe my soul! If it takes all night long... yeah... It might be one o'clock, and it might be three; I don't care, 'cause time means nothin' to me! I ain't been swingin' since I don't know when, And I might not be swingin' this way again... 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... All night, and all day... All night, and all day... I'm gon' stay here - I ain't gonna move; Come on, soul brotha, help me find the groove! I don't care who's knockin' on the door... ************************************ Duration Legend W - whole; H - half; Q - quarter; E - 8th; S - 16th; a - acciaccatura; + - note tied to previous; . - note dotted; Duration letters will always appear directly above the note/fret number it represents the duration for.
