I heard I needed to travel. "Go out and spread the word" people say.
So I'm kickin' up dust and gravel on a racetrack near
Marseilles.
If it all sounds like a mystery things that you just don't understand let me give you a little bit of history about me and the
Midnight Band:
On a racetrack in
France everybody started clapping their hands.
It seemed like a long way fron
Union Station.
On a racetrack in
France everybody started to dance.
I was a long way from home but those were good vibrations.
Me and the bothers no parlez-vous.
French was way down on my list. (But) the
Africans said "Merci beaucoup!" 'cause the rhythm's what they missed.
The people got the message from the music that we play.
It really shouldn't a been no surprise that we all got down that day:
On a racetrack in
France everybody got to clapping their hands.
It seemed like a long way from
Union Station.
On a racetrack in
France Everybody started to dance.
I was a long way from home but those were good vibrations.
