THE LATIN THING

I’m so tired of people taking sides
And putting other people down
Life's a rainbow not just black or white
So everybody gather round
We all have something we an give this world
A handshake's better than a fist
A mix of rhythms can make something new     
Like funky dance music with a Latin twist

This is the Latin Thing -- come on and dance and sing
Let your hips sway and swing -- let's do the Latin Thing
This is the Latin Thing -- let brotherhood be king
One human family -- let's do the Latin Thing

Start with something in a funky groove
Add a Latin step and see
Mambo, samba -- add it if you choose
Make it really funky with a Latin beat
                                      
Everybody can be part of the fun                
Doesn't matter who you are
All join hands my friends all people are one
Come on jam with me -- get down and party with me – Party…
