On a racetrack in France
Everybody gotta (?) clappin' their hands
Seems like a long way from
Union station
On a racetrack in France
Everybody started to dance
I was a long way from home
Those good vibrations, hey
movin' nice and easy
Heard I needed to travel
Go out and spread the word now people say
Yeah, so I'm kickin' up dust and gravel
On a racetrack near Marseilles
That all sounds like a mystery
Things that you just don't understand
Well, let me give a little bit of history
About me and the midnight band
On a racetrack in France
Everybody gotta (?) clappin' their hands
It seemed like a long way from
Union station
On a racetrack in France
Everybody started to dance
I was a long way from home
Those good vibrations, I said, hey
ah, très bien
My cherie amour, comment ça va
No
Me and them brothers no parlez-vous
France was way down on my list
The Africans said 'merci beaucoup'
'Cause the rhythm is what they missed
People got the message
From the music that we play
Really should have been no surprise
That we all got down that day
On a racetrack in France
Everybody gotta (?) clappin' their hands
It seemed like a long way from
Union station
On a racetrack in France
Everybody started to dance
I was a long way from home
Those good vibrations, I said, hey
Yeah, I heard I needed to travel
Go out and spread the word now people say
Got me kickin' up dust and gravel
On a racetrack near Marseilles
If it all sounds like a mystery
Things that you just don't understand
Let me give a little bit of history
About me and the midnight band
On a racetrack in France
Everybody gotta (?) clappin' their hands
It seemed like a long way from
Union station where I'm comin' from
On a racetrack in France
Everybody started to dance
I was a long way from home
Those good vibrations
