They say it's alright, they say it's alright 
it's alright, have a good time, 
cause it's alright, wo, it's alright

Now were gonna move real slow, when the lights are low 
when you move it slow, it feels like mo' 
cause it's alright, wo, it's alright

Now listen to the beat, and kinda tap your feet 
you've got soul, everybody knows 
that it's alright, wo, it's alright

When you wake up early in the morning 
feeling sad like so many of us do 
hum along a song, forget what's gone wrong 
and surely something's gotta come to you

And you gotta say it's alright, you say it's alright, yea 
it's alright, have a good time 
cause it's alright, wo, it's alright

Everybody clap your hands, now give yourself a chance 
you've got soul, everybody knows 
that it's alright, wo, it's alright

Someday I'll find me a woman 
who will love me and treat me real nice 
when my loves gotta go, my love will hold 
from morning, noon, and in the night

And she gonna say that it's alright, she'll say it's alright 
it's alright, have a good time 
cause it's alright, wo, it's alright

Everybody clap your hands, now give yourself a chance 
you've got soul, everybody knows 
that it's alright, wo, it's alright

You've got soul, everybody knows 
that it's alright, wo, it's alright
