Story Behind The Song
One day I was feeling sorry for myself, but after some thought I realised that I was being totally selfish. There are many people in the world that are very poor and are not anywhere near as well off as me. If you have your health and you are not in poverty you are lucky. I wrote a song to celebrate this fact.

GOTTA DO THE RIGHT THING
INTRO:

IF YOU GIVE ALL YOU GOT TO THE ONE YOU LOVE,
SINGING ALL THE DREAMS YOU BEEN DREAMING OF, YOU'LL BE HAPPY THAT'S RIGHT,
THEN YOU TELL ALL THE WORLD HOW GOOD YOU FEEL,
WITH THE MUSIC AND THE BEAT THAT IS THE RIGHT FEEL,YOU'LL BE DOING WHATS RIGHT,
( ADD LIB VOCALLY )
CHORUS ONE:
HERE WE GO NOW;
CAN YOU SEE ME DANCING, CAN YOU SEE ME DANCING,
DO YOU HEAR IT LOUD WHAT I SAY, YOU CAN DANCE TO THE RHYTHM,
I FEEL LIKE DANCING ALL NIGHT,............ADD LIB TO VERSE TWO,..
VERSE TWO:
IF YOU SHOW HOW YOU FEEL AND NOT EVEN TALK,
AND IF YOUR GOING SOMEWHERE THEN DANCE DON'T WALK, YOU'LL BE DOING THE RIGHT THING,
IF YOU FEEL BLUE THEN TURN ON THE SOUND,
WHEN YOU DANCE YOU WON'T FEEL YOUR FEET TOUCH THE GROUND,
YOU'LL BE DOING THE RIGHT THING.....C'MON,.................LETS GO,.
CHORUS TWO:
REPEAT CHORUS ONE.
ADD LIB TO THE END........................................................................
