[Intro: funky clean guitar, Rhodes stabs, thick bass pickup, drums snap into pocket] Mmm Oh, this is my song Turn that up [Verse 1: smoky conversational vocal, relaxed behind the beat phrasing] Left the house with nowhere I had to be Coffee riding shotgun next to me Sun coming through the windshield just right Then that song came on Yeah, there went my quiet Hit the first light singing under my breath By the second one I wasn't holding back Lady in the car beside me looked over I just smiled Kept right on going [Pre Chorus: bass gets busier, handclaps enter, vocal starts showing more strength] I don't know what kind of mood this is But I'm not messing with it If the day wants to be this good I'm gonna let it [Chorus: groove opens wide, stacked female harmonies, stronger chest voice] Turn it up I ain't heard enough Let the whole damn street know I'm having a good day Windows down Singing way too loud Don't know where I'm going but I'm going anyway If you catch me at the red light Singing like I'm getting paid Mind your business I'm having a good day [Verse 2: playful phrasing, funky guitar answers, confident vocal ad libs] Took the long way just because I could Passed my turn and kept on going Drumming on the wheel at every stop Probably missed a note Didn't stop me Hair's a mess from every window down Coffee's cold but I don't care now Guy at the gas pump heard me coming Started laughing I took a bow [Pre Chorus: Hammond rises, backing singers begin answering] Maybe tomorrow I'll be responsible (Not today) Maybe I'll act my age (Not today) If feeling this good is embarrassing Okay [Chorus: bigger vocal, brass punches, stronger backing vocals] Turn it up I ain't heard enough Let the whole damn street know I'm having a good day Windows down Singing way too loud Don't know where I'm going but I'm going anyway If you catch me at the red light Singing like I'm getting paid Mind your business I'm having a good day [Bridge: band drops to bass, Rhodes and claps, lead vocal close and playful] I don't know what got into me And I don't really wanna know Got half a tank A cold cup of coffee And absolutely nowhere I need to go [Brief pause] So... Turn it up [Break: lead voice begins alone, restrained grit] Turn it up (Backing vocals: Turn it up) [Drums and bass slam back into groove] Turn it up! (Backing vocals: TURN IT UP!) [Final Chorus: full band, lead finally releases more vocal power, gritty chest voice and soulful runs] TURN IT UUUUUP! I AIN'T HEARD ENOUGH! Let the whole damn street know I'm having a good day Windows down Singing way too loud Don't know where I'm going but I'm going anyway [Lead pushes harder, backing singers answer every phrase] If you catch me at the red light (LET 'EM LOOK!) Singing like I'm getting paid (LET 'EM HEAR IT!) Mind your business! [Brief band stop, exposed lead vocal] I'M HAVING A GOOD DAAAAAAY! [Full band crashes back, lead ad libs freely over stacked female harmonies] Good day! (GOOD DAY!) Damn good day! (GOOD DAY!) I said turn it up! (TURN IT UP!) [Lead hits one final huge raspy sustained belt] TUUUUURN IT UUUUUUP! [Outro: instruments drop rapidly back into relaxed funky pocket, Michele immediately returns to conversational voice] Mmm Okay Maybe not that loud My coffee's spilling
