CB: Oh, yes indee-dee
BC: How he blows his top wind when he riffs, Hallelujah
CB: Hallelujah!
BC: Oh, dig it out there on your horn Brother Johnny, dig it for me
BC: It comes out if it's in you, yes indeed
CB: Oooh, yes indeed
BC: When you jump, boy, it sends you, yes indeed

When it hits you, you'll holler, yes indeed

As recorded by the ANITA KERR SINGERS:
Well, I know (yes indeed) when it gets ya (yes indeed)
You're gonna say (yes indeed), oh yes you will now (yes indeed)
I wanna tell ya (yes indeed) it's gonna getcha (yes indeed)
Yes indeed (yes indeed), yes I say (yes indeed)
You'll get a feeling down in your soul
Every time you hear that good old Rock 'n' Roll
For you'll say Oh (oh) Oh (oh) Oh (oh)
(Yes indeed, yes indeed)
I tell ya (yes indeed) if it's in ya (yes indeed)
You'll say (yes indeed), oh yes you will (yes indeed)
I wanna tell ya (yes indeed) it's gonna send ya (yes indeed)
Yes indeed (yes indeed), oh yeah (yes indeed)
Everytime you hear that Rock 'n' Roll beat
You'll get a feelin', head down to your feet
I know you'll say Oh (oh) Oh (oh) Oh (oh)
(Yes indeed, yes indeed)
(Instrumental Break)
I know you'll dance all over the floor
Yes indeed, oh yes you will now
You will be jumpin' till they close the door
Yes indeed, oh yes
Every time you hear a swingin' band
You'll jump up and down and clap your hands
I know you'll say Oh (oh) Oh (oh) Oh (oh)
(Yes indeed, yes indeed)
I know that you'll say yes indeed
