A spaceship landed the other night
They heard some music on our satellite
We came to Earth 'cause we want to know
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, what is soul?
What is soul? What is soul?
Somebody tell me, I wanna know
What is soul? What is soul?
They say it's deep (Well, how deep do it go?)
Soul is a fire that burns in the heart
You can't stop it once it starts
Soul is love, soul is life
Soul is hard work, trouble and strife (Come on, Bobby!)
Soul is something that everybody feels
Some people say that it's the real deal
I don't know what it is, don't know what it's not
All I know is something that everybody's got
Yeah, ha-ha-ha-ha, yeah!
Ah, g-g-g-g-g-g-gah!
I was summoned to Capitol Hill
Congress was trying to pass a funk music bill
First question raised on the floor (Oh yeah)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, what is soul?
What is soul? Somebody tell me
Memphis, New Orleans, Detroit, Chicago
What is soul? (What is soul?) What is soul? (Oh!)
Ask the same question, get the same "I don't know"
Soul is something that money can't buy
Soul is something that you fuckin' find
Some got a little, some got a lot
All you got to do, touch the right spot (Hit it, Bobby!)
Soul is Derek Rexler and Annette
The funkier you are, the bigger Cadillac you get
Soul is blues, Beethoven, and Bach
Soul is country, jazz, blues, heavy metal, rock
Sittin' at home, watchin' my TV
Man took Music for 100 on Jeopardy
Sound of the '60s, everybody knows it
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, what is soul?
What is soul? (What is soul?) What is soul? (What is soul?)
What is soul? Oh, D.C., Philly, New York, Baltimore
What is soul? (What is soul?) What is soul? (Ooh!)
I've been around the world and I still don't know
Somebody tell me, I wanna know
We came to Earth 'cause we want to know
What is soul?

Hey, James Brown said that
What it is, what it is
Oh, you give (All right)
Oh, you want (All that)
Oh, you do (All right)
Oh, you don't (What is soul?)
What is soul?
Ah-ha, maybe Staples got soul
Oh, baby, yeah
