Music is a teacher
That can teach you right from wrong
’Cause if you listen closely, well
There’s the lesson in the song

Music is a doctor
That can cure a troubled mind
Listen to the music, say it again
The rhythms and the rhymes

’Cause music’s takin’ over
Music makes you dance
Music’s takin’ over
Just give music a chance, say it again

Music is a comfort
When you’re all alone
Just turn up your music
And you don’t need nobody home

Music is a power
People depend on every day
They make their decisions
By the records that they play

Music’s takin’ over
Music makes you dance
Music’s takin’ over
Just give music a chance, say it again

Let’s dance, let’s dance, let’s dance, let’s dance
Let’s dance, let’s dance, let’s dance, let’s dance

(Music is a sound)
(That makes the boys and girls get down)
(Music is a sound)
(That makes the boys and girls get down)

Music’s takin’ over
Music makes you dance
Music’s takin’ over
Music makes you dance
Music’s takin’ over

Well, well, well
Music is a message
There’s a message in the song
Get it on, get it on, get it on

Music’s takin’ over
Music makes you dance
Music’s takin’ over
Music makes you dance
Music’s takin’ over
Music makes you dance
