[Verse 1] Sitting here thinking I’m trying to write a song Now, 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 [Chorus] Now we want these words Tender and bold They don’t have to be strong Just give us a whole lot of soul [Verse 2] Now, hey little boy Come over here with me Can you show me how To do that dance called The Flea 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 tailfeather [Chorus] We want these words Tender and bold Now they don’t have to be strong Just give me a whole lot of soul [Bridge] Soul (Soul), soul (Soul) Soul (Soul), soul (Soul) A little soul (Soul), soul (Soul) A little soul (Soul), soul (Soul) [Verse 3] 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 (Uh-huh) And a great big band (Uh-huh) Now, I wanna hear the trumpets (Uh-huh) Blowing out loud Let me see the action Coming in from the crowd And take me right by my hand (Doing alright now) A little bit of soul, and [Outro] 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?
