Morning comes and like a scream the sun is shining  Feel it rushing back, the tide of blue so soon returning  Can't remember feeling happy free and clear  Then I hear that rhythm, once again my heart is pounding  The groove takes over  Sadness takes cover  Walking down the street, whispering the beat, it keeps me breathing  Shake my body out, see the sun is out, and soon I'm smiling  Tell her, take her best shot, I've got friends right here  Thank you James... Maceo... Fred, Clyde and Bootsy  The groove takes over  The groove's my lover  (trumpet, sax, guitar solos)  When the blues get you  You gotta get off the bunk and funk the groove
