Celebration (I Wanna Be There)

Hurry, hurry, this is it
There's a party tonight
That you don't wanna miss
Celebration!

Shine your shoes down
Fix your hair
Eight o'clock sharp
Everyone will be there
Celebration!

Bag up all your cares and troubles
Leave them laying at the door
Time to let it go and praise the Lord

I wanna be there
When the band begins to play
I wanna be there
Gonna praise the night away
Oh, celebration!

Well, it's high-top Nikes
Or your Sunday best
Makes no differencе
How you come to this
Celebration!
Oh, cеlebration!

So grab your King James
And your diddy-bop shades
Hop down in your Chevy
Come ready to praise
Celebration!
Oh, celebration!

Leave the dishes and the TV
Get out of your neighborhood
A little joyful noise
Will do you some good

I wanna be there
When the band begins to play
I wanna be there
When the house begins to sway
Oh, I wanna be there
When the good times start to roll
I wanna be there
Gonna let my spirit go
Oh, celebration!

Bag up all your cares and troubles
Leave them laying at the door
Time to let it go and praise the Lord

I wanna be there
When the band begins to play
I wanna be there
When the house begins to sway
Oh, I wanna be there
When the good times start to roll
I wanna be there
Gonna let my spirit go
Oh, celebration!

Oh, yeah, celebrate
Oh, yeah, celebrate
Oh, yeah, celebrate
Oh, yeah, celebrate...
