Hey man, you dig what's going on?

There's a party going on across the hall
I hear the music coming on through my wall
And I know that my baby's over in there
'Cause I know my baby's voice, anywhere

Out there with the party people
Out there having a natural ball
Over there with the party people
Having a good time
And that ain't all

I'd love to join the crowd
And be the one that holler out loud
But I'm really not in the groove
But I'd love to stick around
And get in that mood

Out there with the party people
Out there with that soulful set
Out there with the party people
Hold on baby
You see I ain't ready yet

Got to get in the happening crowd
When I'm feeling sad and lonely
There's no place a peaceful man can rest
If you're not in the soulful mood

Got to get on my dancing shoes
You see tonight, I'm gonna dance away my blues
And I know my baby's over there
'Cause I know my baby's voice, anywhere

Out there with the party people
Out there having a natural ball
Out there with the party people
Wait up my baby
'Cause that ain't all

Soul music is everywhere
I smell soul food in the air
And I know my baby's over there
That's why I'm gonna make it
No matter where

Out there with the party people
Over there having a natural ball
Out there with the party people
