I Don’t Hear No Music
I don't hear no music!
One, two, three!
Ow, uh! Yeah, yeah! Hit me! Oh!

We need to get nifty
Bring back that funky business
I don't hear no music! (music, music)
Hit me! Huh, huh
Turn on my radio, 'cause one thing's for sure
Reach for the knob, don't make my heart stop
'Cause I don't hear no music! (music, music)
Hit me! Huh

I hate to think what's coming next
Oh, I don't hear no music! (music, music)
