Lyrics & Music by Gary Pecorella
Summertime, weather's fine
Are you feeling primed?
Finally the hour is at hand
The strings are tuned, the mix is right
We're gonna take this time
To introduce each member of the band
Jimmy sets the rhythm's pace
Ray is lead guitar
Gary is the Maestro of the keys
Dane's the 'Hammer', he nails the bass
This is who we are
So climb aboard for Port Authority
Chorus:
Come on and dance to the beat
Listen to the drums
Get on your feet
You've got to dance to the beat
Good evening... 'Charleston'!
We are 'the Band'
We like to play a funky tune
Then ease that tempo down
If you need to Swing or Shag or sway
How about some Rock & Roll, R&B, Motown?
You can dance most anything we play
REPEAT Chorus ~
Guitar BREAK ~
REPEAT Chorus ~
Bridge:
We'll keep on playing the whole night long
Under the clear blue sky
For every feeling there's just the right song
Let the music get you high
Repeat Chorus 2x ~
