Occapella
The Beatles/Ringo Starr Lyrics

Groovy!
Expressing satisfaction or approval.

Ah, there's music in the streets and there's music in the air.
Referring to the lively atmosphere of the place with music playing everywhere.

A little ol' soul beat, and there's dancin' ev'rywhere.
Small amount of soulful music fueling the energy to dance everywhere.

I would tell the whole world, tell 'em if I could, To add a little song into each life, Oh, it's a-finger snappin' good.
Encouraging people to add a little music in their lives as it's so enjoyable that it makes you want to snap your fingers to the beat.

Ah, pardon me, boys, but could you use it?
Politely asking a group of people if they could use some music.

We're gonna make a little music.
Declaring the intention to create some music.

You got soul, now don'tcha lose it,
Encouraging people to keep their soulful spirit and not let it go.

Everything's gonna be mellow, We gon' just a-singin' occapella.
Predicting a relaxed and smooth atmosphere, where they will just sing without any musical accompaniment.

Oh,
Expressing excitement or anticipation for what's to come.

Hey!
Expressing attention or getting someone's attention.

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da, jabba dabba dabba dabba di dah. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da, jabba dabba dabba dabba di dah.
Non-lexical vocals and scatting, adding to the rhythm and melody of the song.

Oh, there's dancin' in the streets and there's music in the air.
Reiterating the lively atmosphere with dancing and music everywhere.

I would tell the whole world, tell 'em if I could, To add a little song into each life, You know it's finger poppin' good.
Encouraging people to add music in their lives again by emphasizing how much joy it brings and how it makes you want to snap your fingers to it.

Pardon me, boys, but could you use it?
Politely asking again if they could use some music.

We're gonna make a little music.
Reconfirming their intention to create music.

You got soul, now don'tcha lose it,
Reiterating the encouragement to keep one's soulful spirit.

Everything's gonna be mellow, We gon' just a-singin' occapella, Everything's gonna be mellow, We gon' just a-singin' occapella.
Repeating the prediction that it's going to be a chill atmosphere where they just sing without any musical accompaniment.

I said, Everything's gonna be mellow, Everybody's singin' occapella.
Reiterating once more that everyone will be singing without any musical accompaniment in a relaxed atmosphere.

Everything's gonna be.
Ending on a hopeful note that everything will be alright.
