A PLACE FOR THE MUSIC TO COME OUT
(Barry White)
Banana Splits


Well, the cheeks puff up, the air goes 'round,
The valves flip-flop, but there ain't no sound
'Till the "paw-paw-paw" moves around
To the place for the music to come out!

Mmm, the tall thin ball, with the ax and pick,
Knows darn well, when he plays that stick,
No sound comes through, 'till he's wired to
A place for the music to come out!

You can move it, groove it, play it like it is!
You can blow your mind, you can wear it in town,
But it don't mean a thing when there ain't no sound!

Take a saxophone, an 88,
A set of skins, and you think they're great!
But they are not, unless they got
A place for the music to come out!

(Instrumental break)

Gotta have a place for the music to come out, man!
(Place for the music to come out!)

You can move it, groove it, play it like it is!
You can blow your mind, you can wear it in town,
But it don't mean a thing when there ain't no sound!

Take a saxophone, an 88,
A set of skins, and you think they're great!
But they are not, unless they got
A place for the music to come out!
You gotta have a place, just a little bitty place,
Yeah, you gotta have a place, maybe just a little space,
A place for the music to come out!
