[Silence]
[Arrangement: Funky rock groove, electric piano, organ, bass, rhythm guitar, playful call-and-response vocals]
[Intro]
One, two, three
(Can you hear me?)
Testing, testing
(One, two, three)
[Verse 1]
I’ve got the wires
(All in place)
Got the signal
(Ready to trace)
Got the speakers
(On the floor)
But I don’t hear
(Anything more)
[Pre-Chorus]
Check the switch
(Check the light)
Something’s wrong
(Not quite right)
[Chorus]
Is it plugged in?
(Is it turned on?)
Start with begin
(And see the dawn)
Is it plugged in?
(Is it turned on?)
Flip the switch
(And carry on)
[Refrain]
Turn it up
(Turn it on)
Sing the night
(Into the light)
Turn it up
(Turn it on)
Let’s see what’s going on
[Verse 2]
When the answer
(Hides in plain sight)
A simple question
(Can make things right)
You can search
(High and low)
But first check
(What you already know)
[Pre-Chorus]
Before you panic
(Before you run)
Try the basics
(One by one)
[Chorus]
Is it plugged in?
(Is it turned on?)
Start with begin
(And see the dawn)
Is it plugged in?
(Is it turned on?)
Flip the switch
(And carry on)
[Bridge]
The biggest problems
(Can sometimes be)
The smallest things
(We fail to see)
A loose connection
(A missing link)
Can stop the flow
(Faster than you think)
[Instrumental, Psychedelic Jam]
[Organ Solo]
[Guitar Solo]
[Final Chorus]
Is it plugged in?
(Is it turned on?)
Start with begin
(And see the dawn)
Is it plugged in?
(Is it turned on?)
Light it up
(And carry on)
Is it plugged in?
(Is it turned on?)
Now we’re moving
(Rolling along)
[Outro]
Hear the music
(Hear the sound)
Everything’s working
(Now that it’s found)
Is it plugged in?
(Is it turned on?)
Yes it is…
(And we’re gone!)
