(La la la la la la la la) [repeated]

Right now you need it
Driving yourself through the hard times
Traffic won't speed up
So you turn the radio on

But it's the
Same old stuff it just makes you yawn

(La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la)

Well, somehow he feels it
And the DJ at the station
Sends sweet salvation
When he starts to play this song

Now you can't help singing along
Even though you never heard it
You keep singing it wrong
This song...

...will keep you groovin'
(Keep traffic movin')
Played to lift your spirits
(Soon as you hear it)
Words are speaking to you
(As if they knew you)

Ooooh, this song's the one

(Keep traffic movin')
Played to lift your spirits
Words are speaking to you
This song's the one

(Keep traffic movin')
Played to lift your spirits
(Soon as you hear it)
Words are speaking to you
(As if they knew you)

Yes, this song's the one

Even though you never heard it
You keep singing it wrong
This song's the one

And then they start mixin' it up

When you're tired and stale and missin' something
Waiting for some magic to come and make you feel better
Enter that song
And that's how I know the power of song can save

When you're tired and stale and missin' something
Waiting for some magic to come and make you feel better
Enter that song
And that's how I know the power of song can save

A skip-a-dee-bop the power of song can save
Well it can surely save the day

And keep you groovin'
(Keep traffic movin')
Played to lift your spirits
Words are speaking to you
This song's the one

(Keep traffic movin')
Played to lift your spirits
(Soon as you hear it)
Words are speaking to you
(As if they knew you)
This song's the one

(La la la la la la la la) [repeated]

Smiling and driving
Sounds like soon it might be over
So you pull over
And start scrambling for the pen

And then the verse comes in again

Paper in hand you
Can't help movin' while you're listenin'
Your skin starts bristling
Here comes the part you know

Now you can't help singing along
Even though you never heard it
You keep singing it wrong
This song...

...will keep you groovin'
(Keep traffic movin')
Played to lift your spirits
(Soon as you hear it)
Words are speaking to you
(As if they knew you)

Ooooh, this song's the one

(Keep traffic movin')
Played to lift your spirits
Words are speaking to you
This song's the one

(Keep traffic movin')
Played to lift your spirits
(Soon as you hear it)
Words are speaking to you
(As if they knew you)

Yes, this song's the one

[PIANO SOLO]

This song's the one

Now if you want to-ah sing it loud
With love, with love in your heart
Because you like to
Because you need to

[Repeat, fade out]
