Flute player, play your flute
'Cause I know that you want to get your thang on
Well, you see, I've made up my mind about it
It's got to be the rhythm, no doubt about it, whoa-whoa

'Cause when the guitar player start playin'
With a syncopated rhythm, with the scratch-scratch-scratch
Makes me wanna move my body, yeah, yeah, yeah
And when the drummer starts beating that beat
He nails that beat with a syncopated rhythm
With a rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat on the drums, hey, yeah, yeah
