Lyrics: Isaac Hayes
Music: Isaac Hayes
Played by Papa Mali with 7 Walkers, and (in a slightly different version) by Luther Dickinson with Phil Lesh & Friends.
If you like to want to moveLuther Dickinson's version was:
'Cause you can really groove
Groove on
If you feel like you wanna make love
Under the stars above
Love on
You know you got something to say
Talking is the only way
Rap on
But no matter what you do
You got to do your thing
You got to do your thing
If you feel like you wanna scream
And that's your way of letting off steam
Somebody scream one time now
If you feel like you want to sing
'Cause singing is your thing
You can sing along with me
If you wanna make love all night
And the feeling is right
Right on
But no matter what you do
You got to do your thing
You got to do your thing
If you feel like you wanna scream
'Cause that's your way of letting off steam
Scream on you crazy motherfucker
If you feel like you want to sing
'Cause singing is your thing
You can sing along with us
If you wanna make love all night
And the feeling is right
Right on
But no matter what you do
You got to do your thing
You got to do your thing
You got to do your thing
It's easy that you move
'Cause you can really groove
Groove on
If you fell like you wanna sing
Singing is all fine
Sing on
'Cause whatever you wanna do
You got to do your thing
Yeah, whatever you want to do
You got to do your thing
The music make you move
And you can dig the groove
Groove on
Groove on
You say you wanna sing
Singing is all fine
Sing on
Sing on
'Cause whatever you wanna do
You got to do your thing
Yeah, whatever you want to do
You got to do your thing
Yeah if you wanna make love all night
And you feel it's right
Right on
Right on
If there's something you wanna say
And talking is the only way
Rap on
Rap on
But whatever you wanna do
You got to do your thing
But whatever you want to do
You got to do your thing
