The Big Show

Sitting here in the dark thinking

Thinking,

Listening to Johnnie Taylor

Taking me back down that old

Memory lane..

Singing “I believe in you”

While the rain beats against my

Window pane..

All the fun memories of my

School days ring out loud &

Clear..

While skating to Disco Lady

Eating cotton candy and never

Gain a pound..

Dancing close holding hands

Moving across the floor..

Shake oh shake, shake all a

Round..

Now here comes soul heaven

He was having such a good

Time..

Seeing all his buddies in this

One night only shindig..

Line up to play their songs

Johnnie Taylor said we need to

Buy our tickets..

The tickets are running out mighty

Fast...

Hey, I love all those guys whom

To many to call their names

But, I'm not ready to buy that 

Ticket just yet!

I know this concert will be jumping

Standing around with Sam Cooke 

Singing "A Change Gonna Come"

Even Marvin Gaye singing "Let's

Get It On"

So many I can’t mention..

Just think about "Lonely Teardops"

Jackie Wilson dance to his own beat..

Johnnie say it raining,

But everybody just stood there..

While King Curtis Blue "Played His

Soul Serenade"

Elvis Presley

Singing "His Blue Suede Shoes"

The Mighty Temptations singing

"Ain't To Proud To Beg"

He said the Bar-kays tuning their guitars

While Z.Z Hill Singing "Down Home

Blues"

Oh so many I cannot mention..

Johnnie didn’t want to wake up

Cause he was having such a good

Time..

Amidst all those great super stars..

Oh, yes he was having such a good

Time...

Singing "Soul Heaven"

He buy his ticket to this big one

Night Show..

So he said he was having such a

Good time..

With all his super star buddies "Singing

In soul Heaven"

I know that concert was jumping with

With all those super stars singing

In that one night only concert in soul

Heaven....

You see Johnnie Taylor said he was havin

Such a good time...

And he decided to join his friends in the land

They call soul Heaven..

For this one night big show...
