Soul With a Capital "S"

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

There 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'

I like soul! With a capital 'S'

Soul with a capital 'S'

Sweet soul music - that's the best

Soul -- with a capital 'S'

With a capital 'S'

With a capital 'S'

With a capital 'S'

Oh - I like soul

(With a capital 'S')

Oh, don't ya know I like soul

(With a capital 'S')

You gotta gimme some of that soul, ha

(With a capital 'S')

Yes, I like soul

(With a capital 'S')

With a capital 'S'

With a capital 'S'

With a capital 'S'

With a capital 'S'

Hey yeah -

Spoken:

Yo fellas,

Sounds like some of that Oakland soul music

You know what I'm talking about?

(They done found the stroke,

Done found the Oakland stroke,

They done found the stroke,

Done found the Oakland stroke)

(Soul - with a capital 'S')

Gimme some of that soul

(With a capital 'S')

Got to have that soul

(With a capital 'S')

(With a capital 'S')

That's what I like

(With a capital 'S')

Sweet soul music

(With a capital 'S')
