[Intro]
Step right up…
(What can I do?)
Got a question?
(I got one too)
Pull up a chair
(Anywhere)
Got something on your mind?
(Well… let’s see what we can find)
[Verse 1]
Do you want a melody?
(A little harmony)
A song about the weather?
(Or getting things together)
A tune about the truth?
(A little more uncouth)
A rhyme about the reason?
(For every changing season)
[Pre-Chorus]
You ask…
(I’ll try)
You wonder…
(Why?)
You make a request
(I’ll do my best)
But if I don’t know…
(Well, there you go)
[Refrain]
Do you take requests?
(Give it a go)
Might I suggest…
(One that I know)
[Verse 2]
Request a little wisdom
(Where can I get some?)
Request a little laughter
(What happens after?)
Request a better answer
(Perhaps another dancer)
Request a way to choose
(When there’s nothing left to lose)
[Refrain]
Do you take requests?
(Oh, I dunno… giver ‘er a go)
Might I suggest…
(One that I know)
[Verse 3]
Can I request a better world?
(A little less absurd)
A planet we can share?
(Where humane humanity is there.)
Can I request some peace?
(And maybe wars decrease)
Can I request some love?
(Enough to rise above)
Can I request a clue?
(About what we should do)
Can I request a sign?
(That the future might be fine)
[Bridge]
What if I request…
(A little more patience)
What if I suggest…
(A new expectation)
What if the answer…
(Isn’t an answer at all?)
What if the question…
(Is the reason we call?)
[Break]
Do you take requests?
(Yes, I do!)
Got a good suggestion?
(Yes! This one is for you!)
Love our evolution!
(Love our planet!)
Ask the question!
(Then understand it!)
[Instrumental]
Requests…
(Send ’em my way)
Requests…
(Any time of day)
A little truth…
(A little play)
A little something…
(To brighten the day)
[Final Refrain]
Do you take requests?
(Give it a go)
Might I suggest…
(One that I know)
Do you take requests?
(Ask me again)
Might I suggest…
(Question your question, my friend)
[Outro]
One more request?
(What’s that?)
Can I request…
(A little more love?)
Of love…
With love
We’ll rise above…
(Love, love, love)
