It's all about house music!
It's all about house music!
It's all about house music!
It's all about house music!

Haha! Listen, children, I'm gonna tell you about this thing called house music
Like my boy Eddie told you, it's a spiritual thing--yes, it is!
But I'm here to tell ya more, ha, of what house music means to me
House music is a healer when you don't feel good inside
House music is a joy--hah, yes it is, huh!--when your heart feels bad, yessir!
House music is somethin' that picks you up when you're feelin' down--yes, it is!
And can't no party steal your joy on the dancefloor while the music takes over you!

It's all about house music!
It's all about house music!
It's all about house music!
It's all about house music!

You see, everything comes together for a reason
And the reason right now is to come together for the house-music sound!
Yes, it is--all right!
Somethin' about the house music--huh!--gets all in ya and makes you feel good
Makes you clap your hands, and it makes you stomp your feet
And can't no other music do that to ya but house music--oh, yeah! Come on!

It's all about house music!
It's all about house music!
It's all about house music!
It's all about house music!

I don't think ya hear me
Let me break it down to ya what house music stands for: listen!
H is for happiness because when you feel the music, it makes you happy
And O is for outstanding because the music fills you up
And U is for unity because it brings us all together
And S is for the soul because when you feel it, you feel it all in your soul
And E is for eternity. You wanna know why? Because house music will never die!

It's all about house music!
It's all about house music!
It's all about house music!
It's all about house music!
It's all about house music!
It's all about house music!
It's all about house music!

Haha! Listen, children, I'm gettin' ready to get outta here
But I wanna know one thing from ya--I need to know one thing right now:
To say yeah! Oh, I don't hear ya!
I said, if you love house music, I need to to say yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Feel it in your soul

It's all about house music!
It's all about house music!
It's all about house music!
It's all about house music!

Never let it die. Never let it die!
All of my children, all of my people:
It don't matter if you're white, if you're Black
If you're Jews or Gentiles
Everything in this music sets you free!
So be free right now, my children! Dance! Party! Come on, y'all!

It's all about house music!
It's all about house music!
It's all about house music!
It's all about house music!

I'm done, y'all
