(Spoken – Lead) Alright now… come on! I wanna see everybody movin’! (Horns stab, drums kick) ⸻ Verse 1 I walked in the room, felt the floor ignite Band hit a groove and it felt so right Bass line rolling, drums on fire Whole place rising higher and higher People in the corner start to lose control Feel that rhythm shaking every soul No holding back when the band plays tight We came to live it up tonight ⸻ Pre-Chorus (call & response) (Lead) You feel that beat down in your feet? (Backing) We feel it! (Lead) You ready now to bring the heat? (Backing) We’re ready! ⸻ Chorus Turn it up tonight — don’t hold back Let the rhythm hit you like a heart attack When the groove gets deep and the horns blast through Ain’t nothing in this world gonna stop you Turn it up tonight — let it ride Feel that fire burning deep inside When the band locks in and the feeling’s right We’re gonna turn it up tonight ⸻ Verse 2 Guitar screaming like a midnight train Horn section calling out your name Voices rising, hands in the air Everybody knows we’re getting somewhere Sweat on your brow but you don’t slow down Lost in the music, lost in the sound Every step got a brand new spark Lighting up the dark ⸻ Chorus ⸻ [Break – crowd interaction] (Lead) Come on now — I said clap your hands! (Crowd claps) (Lead) A little louder — I know you can! (Horns riff) ⸻ [Instrumental Break – Horn section feature] (tight riffs, punches, short solos passing between sections) ⸻ Bridge (drop dynamics slightly, then build) (Lead) Now listen… Sometimes you gotta let it go Let that feeling take control Don’t think twice, don’t ask why Just let it lift you high (Backing) Let it lift you! (Backing) Let it lift you! (Lead) When the groove hits deep inside You don’t run, you don’t hide You just move, you just ride With the rhythm tonight ⸻ [Instrumental Break – Guitar Solo] (bluesy, expressive, builds intensity) ⸻ [Instrumental Break – Organ/Piano Solo] (gospel-infused, rhythmic, driving) ⸻ Breakdown (call & response) (Lead) Say yeah! (Crowd/Backing) Yeah! (Lead) Say yeah yeah! (Crowd/Backing) Yeah yeah! (Lead) If you feel it, let me know! (Crowd) Ohhh! (Lead) If you’re ready, let it go! (Crowd) Go! ⸻ Final Chorus (full power) Turn it up tonight — don’t hold back Let the rhythm hit you like a heart attack When the groove gets deep and the horns blast through Ain’t nothing in this world gonna stop you Turn it up tonight — let it ride Feel that fire burning deep inside When the band locks in and the feeling’s right We’re gonna turn it up tonight ⸻ Outro (ad libs + band hits) (Lead ad libs) Turn it up… turn it up… Don’t stop now… keep it going… (Backing) Turn it up tonight! (Horns hits, band stops on cue) (Lead spoken) Yeah… that’s what I’m talking about
