What's Going On?
Ohio Players Lyrics

You're a little late
We have already started, but you can join us now

So step right this way
Come a little closer to us

And we'll get started
We can begin now

What? Say it now
Go ahead and speak up if you have something to say

Oh, say it now, say it now
Don't hesitate to share your thoughts with us

Me and the Ohio Players
The group of musicians in Ohio Players, including myself

Are gonna tell you about a worm
We are going to introduce you to something interesting

He's the funkiest worm in the world
This worm is the most rhythmically exciting creature you will ever encounter

Alright, sing it, Clarence
Let's hear it from Clarence, who is going to provide more details on this worm

Clarence, theres' a worm in the ground
Clarence is going to talk about a worm that lives in the ground

Yes, there is
It's true, such a worm exists

Granny Thats right
The granny in the group confirms that there is indeed a funky worm underground

Clarence he's six feet long
The worm in question is six feet long

Granny six feet long
The granny in the group confirms that the worm is six feet long

Clarence he only comes around
This worm only emerges out of the ground occasionally

Granny when he wants to get down
He appears to come out to groove to some funky music

But when he comes out of his hole
When he emerges from his habitat

He sounds something like this
He makes some funky noise when he grooves to the music

Oh that's funky
The sound made by the worm when it dances moves us to dance too

Like nine cans of shaving powder, that's funky
The worm's funky sound is so intense and rhythmic that it compares to nine cans of shaving powder

And through all the land, yeah
People everywhere have heard of his funky sound

He plays in a band
He is a part of a group of creatures that make funky music

Plays guitar without any hands
The worm plays guitar, but without the use of his hands

Pretty good, I might add
His lack of hands does not interfere with his skill in guitar playing

When he grabs his guitar and starts to pluck
When he picks up his guitar and plays

Everybody wants to get up and dance
His music is so catchy that people cannot resist dancing to it

Ah, get it baby
This is an expression for urging someone to groove to the music

Don't, don't, don't
This is another expression to encourage someone to let loose and enjoy the music

Don't fight the feeling
Do not resist the urge to dance and have fun

Hey, don't stop now honey, get down
Keep grooving and dancing to this funky sound, my dear friend

I'm his manager, heh, heh
I am responsible for the business side of things for the worm's music career

Gonna make a million dollars
We are going to hit it big with this funky music

I get it all, cause he can't spend it
The money made goes to me because the worm cannot use it

There he goes
The worm is retreating back into his hole

Goin' back in his hole
He is returning back to his habitat

Just the same way he came out
He does to return underground the same way he emerged out of it

Do we get paid for this
We should be receiving compensation for showcasing this funky worm's moves

I just wanted to make sure
I wanted to double-check if there is payment involved

We do, OK
Yes, we are going to get paid for this funky performance
