Kool & the Gang - Twice as Kool: The Hits of Kool & the Gang Lyrics






Ladies Night

Let's Go Dancin' (Ooh La La La)
Kool & The Gang

Ooh la la la, let's go dancin',
Ooh la la la, reggae dancin'.
Ooh la la la, let's go dancin',
Ooh la la la, let's go dancin'.

I went down to the park - everything was dark, oh yeah.
All of a sudden on came the lights and everything was feelin' right.
The people started dancin' - they call me over to join in.
They said:"J.T. - Don't you feel good man?
Come on and join the reggae jam." - I heard them singin':

Ooh la la la, let's go dancin', ...

I wanna get to know you. Come on, let's reggae down, oh yeah.
Get better acquainted, so that everything will be fine. Hey baby.
Hey baby, what's your name? Is it a Missis or a Miss, eh?
If you're by yourself, I'd like to take you for a ride.
We could check the scene and we can reggae down,
And we'll be singing:

Ooh la la la, let's go dancin', ...

Ooh la la la, ooh, let's go dancin'.
Get your dancin' shoes, get your dancin' shoes, reggae dancin'.
Ooh la la la, ooh, let's go dancin'.
Go get your dancin' shoes, get your dancin' shoes, reggae dancin'.

It's a special occasion, such a happy occasion.
It's a special occasion, such a happy occasion.

You wanna come dancin'? Let's go dancin'; reggae dancin'.
Do you wanna come dancin'? Let's go dancin'; reggae dancin'. ...
It's special occasion, such a happy occasion. ...

Big Fun

(M. Knopfler)
A dirty motor with London plates
Sitting in the gutter outside your silent gates
Vic and Ray, Vic and Ray
Vic and Ray, Vic and Ray
Come to daddy baby, what is it worth
Come to daddy, the scum of the crying earth
Vic and Ray, Vic and Ray
Vic and Ray, Vic and Ray
Laughing at each other's pain
They run the heater in the morning rain
This'll pay the rent around the world
Wanna buy a picture of a girl
Christmas morning, there they are
Two rent boys wishing on a shining star
Vic and Ray, Vic and Ray
Vic and Ray, Vic and Ray

Celebration

Cherish
Kool & The Gang
Music & Lyrics : K. Bayyan - J. Taylor - Kool & The Gang

Let's take a walk together near the ocean shore
Hand in hand you and I
Let's cherish every moment we have been given
The time is passing by
I often pray before I lay down by your side
If you receive your calling before I awake
Could I make it through the night

Cherish the love we have
We should cherish the life we live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
Cherish the love we have
For as long as we both shall live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love

The world is always changing
Nothing stays the same
But love will stand the test of time
The next life that we live in
Remains to be seen
Will you be by my side
I often pray before I lay down by your side
If you receive your calling before I awake
Could I make it through the night

Cherish the love we have
We should cherish the life we live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
Cherish the love we have
For as long as we both shall live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love

Cherish the love
Cherish the life

Cherish the love we have
We should cherish the life we live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
Cherish the love we have
For as long as we both shall live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love

Cherish the love we have
We should cherish the life we live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
Cherish the love we have
For as long as we both shall live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love

Night People

Night people, oh, oh
People of the night

I wanna talk about the night people on the street
You can be sure that you're gonna meet
Night people out for a midnight dream
After the lights have gone down, yeah

Late at night there is a feeling of pure delight
That's when the night people meets their height
When all the lights have gone down, yeah, yeah

(Night people, oh, oh)
Are you one? Do you dance in the street
Just like the people of the night?
Yeah, you see they're dancing, romancing

(Do you know that night people, oh, oh)
Are you one? Do you dances like those?
(People of the night)
They will always be bound
When every night comes around

Mystery flows through the air
On a tempting breeze
Urging the night people loud and free
After the lights have gone down, yeah

Music plays up until morning, they all will stay
Night people dancing the night away
When all the lights have gone down, listen baby

(Night people, oh, oh)
Are you one? Do you dance in the street
Just like the people of the night?
Yeah, you see they're moving and grooving

(Do you know that night people, oh, oh)
Ooh baby
(People of the night)
Do you know that

I see you come alive, baby
In the starlight, every single night
Your face is like the moon that's shining
Makes me smile and feel alright

At midnight there's a love bite
Love is the feeling in the air

(Night people, oh, oh)
Yes I'm one, I like to have a lot of fun, yeah
(People of the night)
Moving and grooving with the night people
Every night

(Do you know that night people, oh, oh)
Did you know? You see them out on Broadway
(People of the night)
Dancing the night away, oh

Hi de Hi, Hi de Ho

Hi de ho, baby, so long
She don't love me no more

Hi de hi, hi de ho
This is the way the song goes
Hi de hi, hi de ho
That's what she said to me

Hi de hi, hi de ho
This is the way my love goes
Hi de hi, hi de ho
She wasn't meant for me

One night while sitting all alone
I heard a ringing on the phone
So sweet and gentle as she could be
These are the words that she said to me

She said, Baby,[ooh ooh ooh]

Hi de hi, hi de ho
Hmm, what a surprise
Hi de hi, hi de ho
It just about blew my mind

Now that I'm sitting all alone
Can't shake this feeling even though she's gone
They say that memories fade in time
The words she said to me still linger in my mind

She said Baby, [ooh ooh ooh]
I'm sorry
Darlin'[ooh ooh ooh]
I'm leaving
Sugar [ooh ooh ooh]
I can't take it
Sweet heart [ooh ooh ooh ]
It's all over", I say

Hi de hi, hi de ho

Hi de hi, hi de ho
That's what she said to me

Hi de hi, hi de ho
This is the way my love goes
Hi de hi, hi de ho
She wasn't meant for me

'Cause I've got my life to live, [I've got my life to live]
Oh yeah
I got so much to give [so much to live]

Not gonna let this thing take me
I gotta keep on movin'
I gotta keep movin' and groovin'
So I can get back in the groove, groove, groove, groove, yeah
She don't love me no more [ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh]

Hi de hi, hi de ho
This is the way the song goes
Hi de hi, hi de ho
That's what she said to me

Hi de hi, hi de ho
This is the way my love goes
Hi de hi, hi de ho

Hi de hi, hi de ho
She's out of my life

She don't love me no more
Hi de hi, hi de ho
She's gone [ooh ooh ooh ooh]
Hi de hi, hi de ho
So long, baby

She don't love me more
Hi de hi, hi de ho
Why you wanna do that to me? [ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh]
Hi de hi, hi de ho
You hurt me so bad

She don't love me no more
Hi de hi, hi de ho
Why you wanna do that to me? [ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh]

Hollywood

I remember not too long ago
I went to the theater
And I saw the Kool in the gang show
I always wanted to fit a band, yes I did
To sing my songs, sing my songs
And become a bad piano playing man
So here I am, here I am in this Hollywood city
The city of the stars, movies, women and cars
Well I guess, I guess I have to stay

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Yea yea, Hollywood, that's how they're doin' it, Hollywood
I've figured all the swinging down, down in Hollywood
Moving, swinging down say, say, I like to do it
And Kool's got the swinging of the dance

Take My Heart (You Can Have It If You Want It)

Has there ever come a time, when you fell real nice
And you want to let someone know that you really appreciate them?
All you have to do is moan a little bit for me,
It goes something like this
Ooooh, ooooho, oooooh, oooooho.

You see, no time for wasting, baby,
We're gone all through those moves
I'm offering satisfaction, darling,
Girl, I'm giving you all my love,
Anytime is the right time, baby,
Come on and, take my heart
It's all yours if you want it, baby,
My heart is tearing all apart, I say

Ooooh (you can have it)
Yeah (if you want it)
Come and get it, baby,
But if you want it (you can have it)
Come and get it, girl, yeah (if you want it), yeah.
See darling - there's no time for wasting, baby,
Come on please, make up your mind.
Good loving is so pleasing, baby,
Girl, I'm giving you all my time.
You can have it if you want it
Just come and get it, and, baby, it's yours, yeah.
I've got it to give and if you want it.
I know that you're gonna love it, so come on, girl.
Oh, I knew you'd like it,
Oh baby, you got me saying something like
Oooooh, ooooho.

One night while I was sleeping, baby,
Had a dream of you and I,
Found myself asking you, baby,
Take my hand and be my wife.

There's no time for wasting, baby,
Cause we've gone all through these moves
Cause I'm offering satisfaction, darling,
Girl, I'm giving you all my love.

You can have it, yeah, if you want it.
You can have it (baby, you really want my loving)
If you want it (it's all yours, baby)
You can have it any time of the day if you want it.

Don't matter what place it is, baby, you can get it, baby.
You can have it (come on, girl, and get it)
If you want it you can have it
(cause I will make you feel alright)
If you want it (can't you tell that)
You can have it (take my heart)
If you want it (come on, darling)
You can have it (take my heart)
If you want it (satisfaction guaranteed)
You can have it (take my heart)
If you want it you can have it (take my heart)
If you want it.

Hangin Out

Let' go where the people go
That's where we want to be.
Dancin' in the disco-light
Shine all over me.
Music playing loud and clear
'Cause that's we, we want to hear.

So let's go where they, disco down
We'll rock and shake our bodies to the ground.
Hangin' out
Hangin' out

We're gonna rock and shake our bodies to the ground.
Everybody hurry down
It's gonna be a night on the town.
Sweet music will build the air
It's all about, hangin' out.
Got to see you there

You will move to the beat
In the disco-heat.
Hangin' out everybody's coming
We're gonna rock and shake your bodies to the ground

Shake it down baby
Did you get the news
We ain't got no time to loose.
Please don't hesitate
We don't want to be late.
Everybody hurry down

Come on with your dancing shoes
We ain't got no time to loose.
Come on with your disco-scase
We don't want to be late.
Hangin' out.
