Gotta Be There!…. …(Ska-Jazz Fusion)

[Intro] (Fast Ska Drum Beat, Quick Brass Hit, Funky Bassline enters, High-Energy) * [Verse 1: The Logistics Nightmare] > Where we meeting? (City? Suburbs? We need a vote!) / What time you free? (Six? Seven? Just send a note!) / You gotta be there! No excuses, no false starts / Who's late? Pay the fine! (No maybe, that's the rule!) / It's New Year's! Stop sitting home like a fool! > * [Pre-Chorus: The Frustration] > Oh man! Headache! Coordinating five different heads! / Harder to agree than landing on the moon, man! / Such a big deal over just a hangout! (This is the truth!) > * [Chorus: The Mandatory Command] (Brass hits hard, Full Ensemble Power, Group Chant) > Gotta Be There! (Come On!) Don't You Bail! It's New Year's! / Move It! (Get Going!) Embrace the madness and the cheers! / Everyone! (Every soul!) Better be standing right here! / Laughter! (Ha! Ha!) This is how we restart the year! > * [Instrumental Ska Breakdown] (Focus on complex rhythm exchange: Upright Bass Solo, Rapid-Fire Horn Section and Drum Fills) * [Bridge: The Realization] > Why so complicated? It's just dinner, guys! / But why then does it feel this good inside? / In the end! (Totally worth it!) Just seeing all your faces! > * [Outro] (Final Brass Stab, Fast Ska Guitar Riff ends abruptly with a punchy Drum Hit and Vocal Ad-lib: "You Gotta Be There!")
