Lyrics

Thank you very much for being so patient
 We are about ready to start
 To those of you that are with us tonight for the first time
 We'd like to welcome you to the religious recording session
 Of Miss Aretha Franklin and The Southern California Community Choir
 And we like to say to you, it's live tonight
 And we want you to be a part of this recording session
 And we want you to get involved, clap your hands, say amen
 Help us to have a good time
 I am sure tonight that you're in store for a very rare treat
 How many of you were here last night?
 Where they did alright? Alright
 ♪
 Now, let me say about all these cameras and things you see about 'round here
 This is Warner Brothers getting it together for television
 Don't be bashful when the camera comes your way
 We don't know it, it'll get back again
 So while it coming your way get them on it, alright
 ♪
 I don't want you to feel too bad at me if you see me movin' around
 Wherever I see 'em around, that's where I'll be
 Listen here, did you come here to have a good time?
 Oh, don't talk to me like that
 If you're at a ballgame, somebody made a touch down or hit a home run, you'd make some noise
 I said, did you come to have a good time tonight?
 Alright then, very good
 Won't you welcome my choir
 Young folks that I love
 Young people that are going to back Miss Aretha Franklin tonight
 Young folks that I'm proud of
 We've been singin' it for two years
 And we've been singing it until it is finally become reality
 We are on our way
 The Southern California Community Choir
