Lyrics
Find another songAnd the caravan is on it's way
I can hear the merry gypsies play
Mama-mama-mama, mama-mama-mama-mama
Look at Emma Rose, Emma Rose, Emma Rose
She's a-playin' with the shortwave radio
And the caravan has all my friends, all my friends
And they stay with me until, until the bitter end
Gypsy Robin, sweet Emma Rose, huh
Tell me everything, everything I need to know
La, la, la-la, la, la, la
La, la, la-la, da-dup, da-dup, da-dup, dup-da-da-da
Turn up your radio and let me hear the song
Switch on your electric light
Then we can get down to what is really wrong
I long to behold you in my arms so I can, so I can feel you
Sweet lady of the night I shall and I will reveal you
If you will, huh
Turn it up, turn it up, little bit higher, radio
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, so you know, it's got soul
La-da, da-da, la, da, da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da
La-dup, da-dup, da-dup, da-da, la
Jack
Hey
And the caravan is painted red and white
That means everybody's stayin' overnight, overnight
And the barefoot gypsy boy, 'round the campfire, sing and play
And a woman tells us of her ways
La, la, la-la, la, la, la
La, la, la-lup, da-dup, da-dup, da, da-da-da-da, da-dup
Turn up your radio and let a-me, let a-me hear the song
Switch on your electric light
I long just to hold you in my arms so I can, so I can feel you
Sweet lady, sweet lady of the night I shall and I will reveal you
If you will
Turn it up, turn it up, little bit higher, radio
Turn it up, so you know, it's got soul, it's got soul
So you know, so you know it's got
Soul
Da-da-da, da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da
Da, da-da, da-da-da
Nathan Rubin on violin, please
Da, da-da, da-n-da-da
Rest of the string section, we have
Terry Adams on cello
Nancy Ellis on viola
Tom Halpin on violin
Here we have Jef Labes on piano
Ladies and gentlemen, please
Left to right we have
Bill Atwood on trumpet, oh
Brother Jack Schroer on saxaphones
John Platania on guitar
David Hayes on bass
David Shaw on drums
So you know it's got soul
I'm tryin' to tell ya
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby-huh
So you know it's got 100% soul
Take it one more time
Baby, baby, baby
Tat-a-tat-tat
Wa-wa, wa, wup
So you know it's got
Nuthin' but soul, hey
(Nuthin' but)
Nuthin' but
Now for the best
And later for the garbage
So you know
It's got
Soul
Wa-wa-wa, wa-wa-wa-woo
Doo-doo-doo
Doo, doo-doo (doo-doo-doo)
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Turn it up

So you know it's got soul, baby
Baby, let's do one more
Time, baby
So you know it's got soul
Don't you know

Don't you all know
Don't you all know
Soul, baby
Gentle one more, gentle one
Thank you
