A Little Bit of Soul - Aretha Franklin

Sitting here thinking

I’m trying to write a song

If I don’t get me a hit soon

I won’t be here long

I got a lyric writer

Got me a piano man

And we’re making these words

Just as tight as we can

Now we want these words

Tender and bold

They don’t have to be strong

Just give us a whole lot of soul

Now, hey little boy

Come over here with me

And you show me how

To do that dance called the plip

Can you show me how to wobble?

Can we do it together?

Come on and let’s bend over

Come on and let’s shake a tail feather

We want these words

Tender and bold

They don’t have to be strong

Just give me a whole lot of soul

Soul (soul), soul (soul)

Soul (soul), soul (soul)

A little soul (soul), soul (soul)

A little soul (soul), soul (soul)

Now, how am I doing?

(Doing alright now)

Am I doing alright?

(Doing alright now)

I got this song (doing alright now)

And I got this boy (doing alright now)

I got a piano man (ah, ah, ah)

And a great big band (ah, ah, ah)

Now, I wanna hear the trumpets (ah, ah, ah)

Blowing out loud

Let me see the action

Coming in from the crowd

And take me, rock by my hand (doing alright now)

A little bit of soul, and

A little soul (soul), soul (soul)

A little soul (soul), soul (soul)

A little soul (soul), soul (soul)

A little soul (soul), soul (soul)

Tell me how am I doing?

(Doing alright now)

Am I doing alright?

(You're doing alright now)

Tell me how am I doing?

(You're doing alright now)

Am I doing alright?
