There's all kinds of music

Everywhere you go

Some folks like it fast

Some like it slow

Some like it hot

Some like it blue

Some like it old

And some like it new



Now I'm not knockin' country

And I'm not rappin' rap

Big band swing just ain't my thing

Alternative ain't my snap



The only thing that turns me on

Is when I hear a soulful song



I like soul with a capital 'S'

Soul with a capital 'S'

Sweet soul music - that's the best

Soul -- with a capital 'S'



Music makes you happy

Or it can make you sad

It can turn the worst day

To the best you ever had

For entertainment value

If I had to choose

You and me might disagree

'Cause I like rhythm and blues



Now I'm not dissin' disco

Not sayin' punk is bunk

I can't settle for heavy metal

'Cause I gotta have that funk



The only thing that turns me on

Is when I hear a soulful song



I like soul with a capital 'S'

Soul with a capital 'S'

Sweet soul music - that's the best

Soul -- with a capital 'S'



There's people who tell you

To get with the times

It doesn't even matter

if your poem rhymes

But I'm here to tell you

Whatever comes along

There's something here for everyone

Ain't no right or wrong



If soft rock makes you lazy

Classical leaves you flat

And fusion drives you crazy

Then snap funk is where it's at



The only thing that turns me on

Is when I hear a soulful song



I like soul with a capital 'S'

Soul with a capital 'S'

Sweet soul music - that's the best

Soul -- with a capital 'S'
