[Intro group vocals, call and response] (Call): Do you want it? (Response): Yeah, we want it! (Call): Can you feel it? (Response): Oh, we feel it! (Call): Then you got to— (All): GIVE A LITTLE LOVE! [Horn stabs kick in: 🎷🎺🎺 Ba-da-daaa!] ⸻ [Verse 1 Lead male vocal, others responding] People runnin’ like a race to the sky (Fast car, big dream, but they don’t know why) Got a mansion full of mirrors, still can’t see (Gotta look in the heart, not the high-def screen) Pre-Chorus (Female harmony joins) We been chasin’ gold, but the well run dry Gotta share that groove if you wanna get high ⸻ [Chorus Full group, layered harmonies] 🎶 You got to give a little, live a little Love a little more Shake a little, break a little Right down to your core Don’t hold tight to what you got Let that funky feelin’ flow ‘Cause when you give a little You get a whole lot more! 🎶 [Horn break: tight, syncopated brass riff — James Brown-style] ⸻ [Verse 2 Female lead, others riffing] Mama taught me how to cook and dance (She said: sugar don’t rise without takin’ a chance!) Brother sold his soul for a better suit (But the man in the mirror didn’t care ‘bout loot) [Pre-Chorus Male + female voices in harmony] We can build a world where the rhythm is real But you gotta let love be the wheel ⸻ [Chorus Even bigger vocals, handclaps, funk full force] 🎶 You got to give a little, live a little Lift your neighbor high Dance a little, chance a little Let that ego die Don’t wait for tomorrow, don’t be late no more ‘Cause when you give a little You get a whole lot more! 🎶 ⸻ [Bridge Bass and drums drop out, vocal chant over claps] (Chanting) Now everybody say: Give a little (Yeah!) Live a little (Oh yeah!) Move a little (Come on!) Groove a little (Don’t stop!) Share the love (Right on!) Share the beat (Let’s go!) We got soul (You know!) Ain’t no defeat! ⸻ [Final Chorus Breakdown, then build to explosive finish] 🎶 You got to give a little… (Give a little!) Live a little… (Live a little!) Love a little more! (Yeah!) Shake a little… (Shake a little!) Break a little… (Break a little!) Get up off the floor! (C’mon now!) 🎶 [Big horn outro: 🎺🎷🎺 Da-da-da-DAAAA!] [Final shout (spoken over fade):] “We the people got rhythm in our blood — so let’s use it.”
