The lyrics to TSOP by MFSB (Mother Father Sister Brother) are a celebration of soul music and its ability to bring people together from all over the world. The repeated refrain of "soul train" is a reference to the popular TV show of the same name that featured live performances by soul and R&B artists, as well as showcasing the latest dance moves. The call and response between the lead vocalist and the backup singers emphasizes the inclusive, communal nature of soul music, and the simple, repetitive lyrics invite listeners to join in and participate.
The verses consist of just one line repeated several times: "People all over the world." This phrase reinforces the idea that soul music is a unifying force that transcends borders and brings diverse people together. The final section of the song adds a bit of funk and groove as the lyrics urge listeners to "let's get it on" and "get down." These lines are not sexual innuendo as they might seem at first glance, but rather an invitation to let loose and dance freely, letting the music take over.
