People, somethin's happenin' Somethin' in the air Listen to the sound now Come from everywhere You know you've got to hurry You don't want to be late But people don't you worry What's happenin' is great It's a-happening and I know that it must be But this time it's happenin' to me Run down to the corner Ton of people there Brother, get your sister Come from everywhere Everybody hear now Got to gather round Get all together What they're puttin' down It's a-happening and I know that it must be But this time it's happenin' to me It's a-happening and I know that it must be But this time it's happenin' to me
